EXHIBITOR: Oh, I’m running my own PBX and modem bank.
ME: you WHAT

For additional context the Discord Social SDK is basically an embeddable full client for Discord and goes far beyond just Rich Presence features.

I dug into the ARC Raiders Discord token leak issue; this might not be ARC Raiders or Embark's fault. Discord's new Social SDK has a logging hook you can override, and as far as I can tell Discord is failing to scrub log events of sensitive information.

Pretty huge issue with Arc Raiders and Discord integration logging all of your DMs while the game is active

now-deleted post referring to the painted bat as being the most halloween prepared animal on the planet

this is cool! I thought maybe there was a connection to an old viral twitter post my friend made, so I wanted to confirm. thank you for sharing!

@chaokocartoons.bsky.social curious oc/sona question: why a painted bat?

(disclaimer: I am expected at work to at least try using it, and it serves me better to at least put a good faith effort in)

as you can imagine, if you don't already *have* good standards around documentation and code, an agent is not going to be able to help much. ancient mainframe cobol, ibm informix procs, etc, with random letter and number symbol names with little commentary are not going to help it

in my experience, it depends heavily on the agent's prompts, the context available in the codebase, and other RAG context sources (mcp servers, lsps, etc). unconfigured, github copilot has a tendency to be unhelpfully verbose, so you have to spend a fair bit of upfront time conditioning it.

watching Casey Muratori's presentation about OOP and hollering about discriminated unions

it hasn't *ever*, as far as I'm aware! before the home computer almost all computer programming had extensive manual planning and auditing before it ever made it onto a computer!

when people say these things, I wonder if they've ever had to work in legacy codebases in non-tech companies, especially in integrations. you're lucky if there's any documentation at all, and you can't "move fast and break things". we're largely invisible in this convo...

my entire career in software it has never been true that writing syntax has been the primary time sink. swe is a soft skills job.

"The Fantastic Adventures of SEXDICK" OST (Dango) (199?): Level 1 (?)" got removed by YouTube for spam, and my appeal got denied.

Talked to a human about this issue to no avail.

Someday, when I have gathered my power, I will play the beautiful song that heals the world. Please look forward to it!
