GitHub appears to have opted anyone using the CLI into sending telemetry they will use to inform product decisions. This is sneaky and should have been an opt-in decision, not opt-out. Disable it with `gh config set telemetry disabled`. cli.github.com/telemetry

AI pretending to be customer support is a pretty miserable experience. I don't need something pretending to be human regurgitating the FAQ page. It must also put a strain on the real support staff who now only get customers who are already angry from fighting a robot!

Hello #java bubble! Does it make sense to have a jakarta.servlet.Filter which are configured with none of the available jakarta.servlet.DispatcherType ? E.g.
If you were at my recent Java one or DevNexus talk this will help a lot to translate what I did in Eclipse to IntelliJ. Actually, it's even clearer than what I showed, and it's under 10 mins!

Feels weird to post about the little stuff at the moment, but I'm talking at both Devnexus and JavaOne this year about debugging issues. I'm very happy with the way the presentation is coming together. Distilling 10 years of tracker content into 60 mins is pretty challenging!
