It was always intended to be a documentation site, see https://stackoverflow.blog/2011/06/13/optimizing-for-pearls-... and similar.

We had autorun.inf in the past installing automatically from any random USB drive[1]. The fun days where you always feared contracting malware if you so happened to plug a random USB drive in :)

I wonder if there's a design decision documented somewhere that makes the existing graph databases like Neo4j, etc. not good enough for Youtrack's use case.

Great article. What does the (organizational) process look like to convert one of these specs to a processor product, does it go through a committee like the C++ standards?

The article conflates general use of LLMs with LLMs for programming and is a worse article for this reason.

As an example, I already heavily leverage LLMs to ask questions about unknown codebases and concepts, and even some debugging, for which it is immensely useful. However, given the AI messianism inherent in some companies, I fear that management’s impression is that millions of LOCs will get written in days, and I’m not ready just yet to abdicate my personal responsibilities in meeting business and performance requirements.

Such a utopian future is unlikely to materialize however. The salary that one gets paid is backed by the generated (and perceived) value of the work they did, and if people do not have anything to offer in form of labor, then it will create pressures to reduce any UBI style wages paid out, as well as provoke internal conflict as people try to come up with justifications for why they should have a larger share of said basic wages, etc.

So much this, the other day I wanted to set up a project running in K8s similar to our other modules at work, and it he thing ended up writing unit tests for a hello world implementation.

Arguably, the loss of specialized knowledge is what is holding countries like the US back in domains such as shipbuilding[1], rare-earth refining, and semiconductors.

Losing that knowledge puts the losing community in a bad position, and those communities who maintain this information somehow will end up being able to preserve their ability to reason and improve things. Though I don’t expect our current crop of US leaders and business owners to realize that.

Shellcheck has good heuristics, like making mistakes with for and subshell variables. I’ve never found its heuristics to be off-base, and when it can’t genuinely tell because of some context that is only known to you, you can opt out via # shellcheck disable=SCxxxx

Mostly like enforcement is slow and I’m not even sure if someone has sent in a complaint.

My last job was like this, a full round of QAs manually testing, along with writing up a grandiose release document, stakeholder approvals, and whatnot, for something that should just take two days of development work, and an insistence on putting configuration values into the database, supposedly because it's "safer" than deploying a new configuration file.

> these labs are creating a public good as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good

> In economics, a public good (also referred to as a social good or collective good)[1] is a commodity, product or service that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous and which is typically provided by a government and paid for through taxation.

I can see that we are already excluding people from using models, whether it's China[1] or use in other harnesses[2] so its use can't be considered "non-excludable" or "non-rivalrous". It is also neither provided by the government nor funded through taxation.

I guess one change could be made to force LLM companies to release their (N-1)th model publicly and document architecture and system requirements, which would shift this to make these products actually public goods, however.

There could be so many other ways to set this up. Enforce a higher tax on any business selling AI models that have capabilities greater than some threshold, and use it to fund development and infrastructure project like roads, hospitals, schools, etc. Or you could even do a negative income tax[1].

The funny thing is at my current employer, they mentioned that "coding is increasingly becoming a solved problem" and in the same breath, mentioned that one project was too hard for anyone to do so they're not doing it and would rather sell existing features...

There could just also be a bug where the output tokens of session 1 were shared with session 2, due to a race condition or similar.

Cool project, I've been meaning to do this myself at work for a codebase, and it's nice to see that this exists now.

Does the project you simply compute embeddings for every function unit and cluster them, or do we also mean-pool significant dependencies of a function? In other words, given the function

    def a():
      b()
      c()
      d()

Do we also embed b, c, and d as well and combine them somehow in the embedding of a?

That could easily change if the frontier labs would release their (N-1)th model or (N-2)th model as open weights. Unfortunately, they won't.

But then you couldn’t engagement-farm like Twitter /s

I can accept this as a joke project, but wonder why people at monday.com need it for?

The only way this ends well is that we end up with extreme regulations in all places to enforce ownership, from software (because of insecure code due to excessive vibe coding) to children's books (because we end up teaching them crap).

Totalitarian as hell, but I don't see any other way.

I don't think there has ever been an appetite amongst corporations to improve the quality of their products if they can easily get away with reducing costs.

I had only briefly heard about him in the past, but it's sad to hear he passed away.

Revisiting some of his old writings, I see he was deeply a humanist, and I love that. I especially liked https://om.co/2026/06/07/the-myth-the-mythos-and-the-man/

Would probably be great to have ZeroFS backed PVs for the K8s folks :)

Great work, though I wish some of this work could be upstreamed to Gitea instead?

It's all caused by a Meta lobbying initiative across multiple countries as documented in https://tboteproject.com/ (sadly, the website is down right now), but you can find references e.g. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2026/03/the-tbote-project/

The truth of the matter is that any time that has been saved in writing the code must be spent on ensuring proper system design, reviewing the code, and most importantly of all, QA, which is an uncomfortable discussion for AI techbros who are peddling complete automation of the software profession.

That has been one of the most unkind retorts used to suppress discussion around improving the lives of blue collar workers in the 2010s in relation to the US.

When you're doing 12+ hours of back breaking work, and potentially some commute, etc. doing anything else other than resting and consuming some "easy" entertainment is all that you have energy for.

Have you seen the content of the books in the tweet[1] linked below the article? Between horses with fused butts and other diagrams that don't say as much as they purport to, the cover is the least of its problems, although the only one that can be criticized directly.

I wish more people read the CORS article on MDN[1] which helped me a lot at the time when I was trying to understand it. I knew some people had trouble with CORS but had no idea it was this bad, going by the comments here.

All the package managers that provide shell wrappers kinda tend to be bad at this, unless they use their own command to wrap over project specifications, like uv.

These days, I've been personally relying more on direnv to automatically activate certain shell configurations, and then nix to manage binary dependencies like node or go or php.
