There's no escaping it, AI is writing a lot of code. Some great, some needing human intervention. But how should we focus our review efforts to catch the bugs without getting overwhelmed?

Wait, was Maria (dear as she was) including him in an activity or setting the beat for the song?
Looks great! Love the shading on the bones.
I interviewed at a number of companies in January. A few allowed AI in the coding interviews with a goal of seeing how you used it. It wasn't across the board, but more common than I expected.
A weekend project to explore GitHub Actions deployments and Pulumi!

Historians have recently uncovered a centuries-old artwork depicting Norman soldiers fighting alligators in a marsh. They call it the Bayou Tapestry.
"Wintry mix" always makes me think of salad.
I've been dissatisfied with SubStack for a little while, and finally got my act together to move to a self-hosted site where I have more control.

Anyone else think “Commuter Benefit” would be a good name for a band?
“Hi, we’re Commuter Benefit and this is our cover of Fast Car”
They even resisted using Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek” in that last episode.
It's been a bad couple of weeks for GitHub reliability, but how does this compare to their previous performance? I pulled some data from their status page to find out.

"Make no mistakes." is a confusing kind of prompt. Confusing in the sense that I can't decide if it's more like:
- Giving an intern no coaching and being frustrated they didn't "meet expectations".
- "I hereby declare that Facebook cannot use my content for stuff."
I’ve been firmly in the IDE for a long time, it was just way more convenient with the test on save automations, finding references and go to definition. AI tools are making some of the workflow automations less critical, but I still feel more comfortable being able to navigate the code myself.
Is Plur1bus secretly about AI? Officially, no, but that didn't stop me seeing shadows of GPUs in almost every scene.

AI coding tools either feel magical or incredibly frustrating. A recent experience left me feeling very glad I still know how to code.

Why not both? Multiple tasks in-progress at once, but never working on more than one concurrently.
Oof, that sounds rough. Glad you're feeling better.
Beyond Palindrome! Two men enter, reten nem owt.
Great reasons 🙂 The family themes were sure strong in that one.
Holiday favorite because of the one scene set at Christmas?
CI/CD has been top of mind for me for at least the last couple of years. Now coding assistants are starting to be adopted widely, I'm wondering how the SDLC might change to keep up. Will we be using centralized CI systems 5 years from now?

My Apple Watch told me it was 49 degrees today. Lies. I should have looked at my phone before I went out in 17 degree weather without a hat.
I think the Fallout series just invented a new trope: Gory Discretion Shot Fakeout
Iain M Banks's Culture series totals around 1.4 million words. At 750 words a day, that would take 5 years. They were released over a period of 25. Planning and editing are a lot more work than I thought!
*not comprehensive
The final part!
It's been a month and a half since I started working on a Git-backed REST API. High time to wrap it up and answer the dang question already!

So are you…having a good time?
With all this generated code, PRs feel like the bottleneck. Then again, thinking back to my teams before AI, they already were! A PR written in 1 day took 3 or more to approve.
So we added linters, shifted left, all that good stuff. We need all that more than ever now.
These are delightful, like little poems. Or Burmashave ads.
Noooo, not another one, lol.
