Oui, LFI assume de vouloir en finir avec les extrêmes inégalités qui fracturent notre société. L'extrême richesse nuit à l'intérêt général. Ce ne sont pas les grands héritiers qui se lèvent tôt le matin, ce sont les classes populaires. En 2027, on rétablira la justice sociale.
This a core problem with Rails that won't be solved. The maintainer doesn't believe this is a real problem and the community either ridicules attempts to fix it or gets stuck in endless debates about code organization. There are good ideas out there - interested in hearing Brandon's…

Your ‘App’ Could Have Been a Webpage (so I fixed it for you…)
I was asked to install a mobile app to get access to the itinerary of a trip to Disneyland I'm taking with the kids. Fuck that noise: couldn't it have just been a Web page? An hour of reverse-engineer...

It’s mind-boggling to me that places use PR count as proxy for productivity. It’s just as useful as LOC - not entirely garbage, but mostly pointless as a metric, esp when devs know they are measured on it
“My company did layoffs a few weeks ago. The main metric for productivity is AI usage (% of PRs with AI assistance) and PR count per week. People are burnt out after layoffs, but they don’t want to be next so they are doing what’s requested: use AI, inflate PR count….” - from an eng at this place

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...
