I'm increasingly convinced that this is the #1 reason why frontier LLMs are still not capable of one-shotting high quality code They need to spell out their reasoning process in the completion in order to get the right result so when you style transfer that reasoning to code you get cluttered code

My crazy idea to cram all of the AT Protocol into a single deployable container. Works with SQLite, Postgres and potentially more data stores in the future. Steps are literally deploy container -> import your lexicons -> backfill -> build your app with the GraphQL APIs. quickslice.slices.network

Have you noticed how great the Ruby docs looks like for the master? docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/ Thank you @st0012.dev and the entire team contributing to RDoc for these improvements.

I find it interesting that every time frozen string literal is discussed, symbols are brought up. It seems like symbols purpose and semantic isn't well understood. Isn't there a good post explaining what they are and how they're meant to be used?

The two most effective ways your company can support open source: 1. Let your developers have time for open source work. 2. Give each of your developers an annual budget to allocate to whatever OSS projects they think are important.

Why do I automatically come into the situations where i am the odd1out?
