I think this is a really good idea; I usually do this for about a month until I tell myself my time is better spent building or playing something that I don't have to convince myself that I truly enjoy.

I am a lead developer working in Cyber Security. We are just now integrating co-pilot reviews into our pipeline to help speed along the initial review process and weed out any surface level bugs. We still have no agentic coding, and I'm not sure we will for at least another year. I have advocated to modernize and keep up with modern tooling to no avail.

Hotfixes would go down by probably 50 to 60%. On a bi-weekly release rotation it was not abnormal to see 4 to 5 hot fix versions. In the past year, however, it is not uncommon to do 15 hotfix builds per release.

20%, do we just make numbers up?

It seems vastly higher on every region and VPN I've tested, so I think this is a case of the "technicalies".

It is technically 20%, because a bunch of the requests that happen on page load do succeed. Just not the few crucial ones that are required for the page to load correctly - those return a 500 the vast supermajority of the time.

I can't get a single PR or issue to work. Maybe it's "20% globally, 100% anywhere people are awake".

Feel free to disregard this because ultimately its a tangent that doesn't matter; but supermajority is specifically a political term referring to the required threshold to advance legislation when simple majority isn't procedurally enough. It doesn't mean simply a greater share of.a majority

This is how language evolves.

For supermajority: the construction means “beyond majority” or “above majority”, it is implemented as a higher percentage in most systems, and there is a utility in being able to refer to high ratio majority.

So people have repurposed a technical word to a general word, of roughly the same meaning.

English is descriptive not prescriptive. The meaning of words change over time.

"Disappoint" was originally the inverse of "appoint" and meant to remove from office.

It's neither. If you accept and approve of people wearing their pants around their knees, its a fashion evolution. If you think pants should cover your ass, it's just poor behavior. Analogous to the use of language.

20% of requests on a GUI page also makes the whole thing unusable.

Depends if this is coming from engineering or management

I know it can be a deep time sink, but I notice more and more how much deeper my understanding is of a certain problem/best-practice after developing the neuropathways involved in crawling between reddit, stack overflow, etc, to get to the proper solution. I love the instant answer from google ai, but I also notice an itch to purposefully force myself to ignore it when time allows.

ime google ai is wrong often enough that I'm still doing that to verify its results

At least validation seems faster than without, but you get what you pay for when it comes to llm intelligence

Used to love this site back when you could see what other craftsmen were actually creating by hand.

Same, years ago they did an update when you could still see some pens featured on the homepage but the UX was less fun to browse through. Now it seems there are no featured pens on the homepage, so you can't just explore pens aimlessly.

Good thing the analog method still works.

Asking a colleague to do it?

We're gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday.

There will be ads/our data.
