You got your LiteLLM in my test harness. You got your test harness in my LiteLLM.

Try to carry eachothers' burden.

The filing taxes tax is upon us.

The worst advice you can give a direct report is "be fearless." First of all, it's just bad advice. Secondly, you can't control what scares other people. If you want to be a real manager, help them through their fear. The only thing to fear ... yada yada.

Everyone is a descendant of an immigrant depending on how far you want to go back. The concept of borders is just a way to keep the "others'" pay low, to create a class that can be abused sadistically and financially, and to give the police in its current form a reason to exist.

Seems like all those "I don't have anything to hide" people are starting to realize why the 5th amendment exists.

You know what I'm going to do with your PR don't you? /harsh-review @coderabbitai.bsky.social you are in mortal peril.

Imagine if Siri was just a little bit better

If your job is 100% remote it’s likely you will be replaced sooner

If you want to climb the ladder, make your colleagues look good to your common boss. No wait.

Every use of local storage is an admission that your backend framework is too hard to use.

Standups are where get shit done goes to die

BFFs are the shortcut to code duplication.

Every company/enterprise is a production with a different cast. AI will homogenize most of them. It won’t go well.

Unit tests for low level code are necessary. Application tests should be written in plain language and executed with a harness that runs a cheap LLM and Devtools MCP for example. This way, it’s clear what the tests do and they don’t break when someone changes the UI. www.linkedin.com/pulse/future...

PRs should be replaced by handing imperfect work to skilled finishers, human or otherwise.

New Relic structured logging is cool but you should put custom attributes into an object property named after your organization. FAFO.

Welcome to the age when CEOs want features to be worked on without formality so long as the work only takes, say, a day or two. Until now this was a fantasy. Lower tiers of leadership who are not on board and even those who are are getting bad news. Anyone can code!

So glad respectable politicians will never support the border patrol again. High time. For those who have read Cold Mountain, they are modern day slave catchers. Always have been. Always will be.

For those concerned about LLMs training on your prompts, this is much worse.

@governor.ny.gov Kathy Hochul should be our next President.

Less than 1% of software developers know what regression testing means. Here’s a clue: it’s not the same as acceptance testing.

Justice means prison time.

It seems like maybe these Christians don’t care how children turn out, whether it’s denying fetuses healthcare, starving infants, condemning kids to prison prep schools, molesting them, or eliminating careers and middle classness with electricity guzzling AI. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ki...

JIRA searches are the worst part of my day, every day.

I don’t know anyone who has left claims in JWTs over the long haul. It’s a temptation that just never works out.

If your eng team uses NodeJS and Python you need to either (1) decree all REST APIs use only snake or camel case (specify which one) or (2) use frameworks that can translate

ShedLock is worthy of JVM envy. Every ecosystem needs this, especially the way it integrates with Redis etc.. github.com/lukas-krecan...

Traditional systems use strict constraints to maintain immediate consistency, while event-driven architectures embrace eventual consistency for scalability and resilience. dcb.events

Don’t let anyone tell you that MUI or shadcn aren’t enough.

Fact is an Elixir library for storage and retrieval of Elixir maps using the file system. It can be used for structured logging and event sourcing. github.com/evntd/fact

Airflow (Python) has been reimplemented in Elixir by an unrelated team. If you use Elixir and wince when you have to fix or tweak some legacy Python because a former team member deployed Airflow five years ago, here’s your life raft. elixirforum.com/t/gust-a-tas...

If you know you're going to go through surgery, expect your surgeon to be very analytical and tunnel visioned. Brainstorm questions before every appointment. Always ask "for how long?" if a duration isn't mentioned. Make sure you know who to call with questions before you leave the facility.

Teams that use Elixir mostly take the ecosystem for granted. Need to start a background process? Batteries included. Need a durable job with retry? Oban. Compare this to anything else -- do you need another microservice? Another k8s pod? Ridiculous.

The world will never forgive the GOP. The question is what Democrats have to do to Republicans to regain credibility.

Nothing can compare to the suffering of the Ohlone people. The California coast before the Europeans arrived was the garden of Eden. Hard times afterward for most. Hard times now and much worse on its way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohlone
