Watching Chelsea v Villa while the GitHub CLI tries to work out why upgrading to xunit V3 has made my integration tests slow.

Why to see All Our Sons at the theatre tonight. Wow, so powerful.

71% of Developers and Engineering Leaders Believe โ€œAIโ€ Makes Engineering Discipline More Important I ran the same poll on LinkedIn and Mastodon, asking: In your estimation, does AI-assisted and agentic coding make engineering discipline: More important than before? As important as before? Less iโ€ฆ

71% of developers and leaders agree that engineering discipline is more important in AI-assisted and agentic workflows.

So why aren't we seeing an increase in investment in engineering capability yet?

It doesn't come with your Claude Code plan.

I hope the Gorton result is a wake up call for both Labour and the Conservatives.

There are many of us in the centre that don't want what you're selling.

If you want to know how reliable "AI" coding assistants like Claude Code *really* are before you invest considerable time and $ on one, I highly recommend looking through the Issues on their GitHub repos.

After over six weeks of no running, post my eye operation. I've finally been given the all clear to run again.

Tomorrow morning I hit the road.

Ah just saw your repost where she asked them to do that. Fair enough.

I like how that news website republished the information, making the matter worse.

You'll need to really want to use something else and swim against the tide.

I have a passion for Property based testing. So I use FsCheck a lot, and the LLM will never choose that. I have to do that all by hand, even though my repository has lots of examples of that.

It'll be option 1 all day. A machine that feeds itself.

Also the font they use for the title looks like a corny Saturday TV Western.

dotnet-coverage code coverage tool - .NET CLI - .NET Learn how to install and use the dotnet-coverage CLI tool to collect code coverage data of a running process.

Finally gave up on #dotcover today. #JetBrains never seem to fix any bugs raised.

I've moved to dotnet-coverage. All good so far, and it seems faster.

And if I read the data correctly, 100 billion queries consume as much water as 100 million people do annually.

6 months ago, ChatGPT alone handled 2.5 billion queries/day. You can probably extrapolate from that...

Their support team claims that Search Party does not do this and is in fact a physical tag that people can scan if they find a tagged pet. I find this confusing since that's not at all what was described in the ad - ONE of these is a lie lol

End of 2022, but rolled out over 2023.

It really ruined my ruse, where I would occasionally pretend to receive a phone call and mention that I was on a trial for signal in the tube.

The number of people who would fall over themselves to find out how to join was fun.
