I saw this today and had to giggle.

Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.

Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.

Which company is going to be the first to lay off 10,000 agents? And when?

My most useful prompts (to GitHub copilot, geminicli, or pi):

What is this ?
Any suggestions for improvements?
Fix this error.

I created a tool for SHA pinning GitHub actions.

I deleted all my browser bookmarks. I did not use them, so why not start fresh and only add the one I use?

@MarkSchellhas @dhh kamal kan depoy to many servers. This is for just a single server

@dhh Cool. Super easy to deploy an app to a single server.

@davidfowl One large binary that contains all the dependencies. In the trade off between easy deployment and large binaries, Go leans towards easy deployment.

If you use the Azure Developer CLI and always wanted an easy way to run the app locally, then check out this extension I've been working on called `azd app`. It uses the azure.yaml that you already have.

It is important to be honest when naming stuff

Today I learned that you should not install docker using snap. The snap version of docker have restrictions on what folders it can access (/opt is off limit), and the error message it not helpful

95% of organizations are getting zero return from their Generative AI initiatives.

It’s not a tech problem.

It’s a "Underpants Gnome" strategy problem. |

I am impressed by this feedback by Copilot - actually mentioning that a 4 GB SSD would be impractical

[Valentin Ignatev @valigo]

Computer Science is not science, and it's not about computers. Got reminded about this gem from MIT the other day

[Arve Svendsen @arvesv]

But the resulting code is 6x more lines of code. Objectively better by many metrics, but it lacks the clarity of the old code.

GitHub Copilot premium requests renews tomorrow. Still have some quota left, so trying different stuff.

[Arve Svendsen @arvesv]

I have a small PowerShell script that calls a web api. I lacks many things, but the code is small and easy to understand. I ask Copilot/GPT5-Codex to improve it, and it extracts things into separate functions, add a bunch of checks.
