30 is assuming you write code for all 30 days. In practice, it’s closer to 20, so 75 tests per day. It’s doable on some days for sure (if we include parameterized tests), but I don’t strictly write code everyday either.

Still, I agree with them that you generally want to write a lot of tests, but volume is less important than quality and thoroughness. The author using the volume alone as a meaningful metric is nonsense.

If it were a systemic issue and they had massive control over my life, I would wish them only the worst. Speaking from experience, of course.

After moving out, once they were out of my life for the most part, that dulled into indifference.

I’d be glad if my dad died.

People seem to struggle to understand this, from my experience. I never personally felt this way about my dad, but I fully understand why my mom does.

This is a classic strategy to get games or microtransactions for cheaper.

Quoting Kohler:

We encrypt data end-to-end in transit, as it travels between users’ devices and our systems, where it is decrypted and processed to provide and improve our service.

I guess Kohler recently learned about TLS? IBM’s response, which is a bit random in my opinion, addresses the idiocy of the E2EE claim lol.

I’d hope they encrypt data in transit? Not doing so would be an incredible, though unsurprising, show of incompetence. Setting up TLS and getting certs is easy these days with LetsEncrypt, and a company like Kohler could even get certs through AWS or Azure or something if they wanted.

I can’t imagine why I’d ever spend money on a camera for my toilet, especially if it includes a subscription fee. That’s a new level of stupid.

TL;DR: React broke the internet.

Well, that, but also Cloudflare went down because they were trying to fix React’s shit.

This is more likely the actual incident report:

A change made to how Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare’s network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. We will share more information as we have it today.

As someone who stopped all contact with my dad at one point (while still a child, but continuing as an adult), I can say that there were a few specific memorable issues, but that they were by no means isolated.

The impression I get from reading seems to be that it’s an anecdote indicative of a larger, more regular series of incidents.

1500 tests is a lot. That doesn’t mean anything if the tests aren’t testing the right thing.

My experience was that it generates tests for the sake of generating them. Some are good. Many are useless. Without a good understanding of what it’s generating, you have no way of knowing which are good and which are useless.

It ended up being faster for me to just learn the testing libraries and write my own tests. That way I was sure every test served a purpose and tested the right thing.

I am interested to see if these tools can be used to tackle tech debt, as often the argument for not addressing tech debt is a lack of time, or if they would just contribute it to it, even with thorough instructions and guardrails.

From my experience working with people who use them heavily, they introduce new ways of accumulating tech debt. Those projects usually end up having essays of feature spec docs, prompts, state files (all in prose of course), etc. Those files are anywhere from hundreds to thousands of lines long, and there’s a lot of them. There’s no way anybody is spending hours reading through enough markdown to fill twenty encyclopedia-sized books just to make sure it’s all up-to-date. At least, I can promise that I won’t be doing it, nor will anyone I know (including those using AI this way).

And it often generates a bunch of markdown docs which are plain drivel, luckily most devs just delete those before I see them.

My favorite is when it generates a tree of the files in a directory in a README and a description for each file. How the fuck is this useful? Files will be added and removed, so there’s now an additional task to update these docs whenever that happens. Nobody will remember to do so because no tool is going to enforce that and it’s stupid anyway.

Sure, document high level directories. But do you really need that all in the top level README?

But for real if anyone in management is listening, take it from an old asshole who has done this job since the 80s: AI fucking sucks!

Nothing to add. Just quoting this section because it needs to be highlighted lol.

Roskomnadzor claims Roblox contains content that will have a “negative impact on the spiritual and moral development of underage users.”

Remove the “spiritual and moral” part of this and I’d agree 100% with them lol.

Anyway, rare win for Roblox I guess.

As someone who owns my home (a moderately small 2-bedroom condo), I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of work to do to it that I really don’t want to do. Nobody is going to do it for me.

Sometimes I wish I was renting ngl, but rent would be even higher than my mortgage for the same sized place.

Imagine having a different opinion.

You could never.

Edit: I don’t even know why I responded. You are clearly incapable of having a real discussion. I’m done.

This is not true at all. Good landlords also take care of the property, providing what is functionally a “home as a service” with none of the hassle of maintaining it.

There are bad landlords. Most rentals are owned by them. There are precious few that are not.

To be clear, there are some awful landlords out there. I agree with your point, but I don’t want to diminish the dislike of many landlords.

Can’t say I own a copy of Mein Kampf, though I’ve skimmed parts of it.

It’s one of those books that I’ll read if I feel like reading at some point, but I don’t really want a copy because of how it looks to own one lol.

Satanic Bible’s a lot better since I don’t mind associating myself with Satanism somewhat despite not being religious at all.

My bad. I assumed the web has waves with how many people surf it daily.

Can you convert that to bananas?

Wild assumption.

I don’t worship. That’s just plain stupid, at least in my opinion. Books can be read for the sake of reading them. Knowledge isn’t some weird forbidden apple on a tree. It’s something used to make informed decisions in the world.

Please seek therapy. The psychosis is strong with this. The “us vs them” mentality is nothing short of cultish brainwashing. Worship is fine, belief and faith are fine, community building is even cool, but turning it into a cult just justifies my decision to distance myself from religion more.
