I was a mathematician, and then I sold out.

@therealchreke I like what unison are up to - the code has one canonical reputation that's stored in a database, not a file, thus the formatting of it becomes a display concern only

What a terrific Paris-Roubaix that was

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

@etorreborre ...if I accentuate my prompts towards what I think makes code better than that, and double down on engineering practice around making changes when I'm using an agent (even smaller changes, watch the test fail first, etc.) I can go marginally faster

@etorreborre My experience has been that AI writes median quality internet code unless explicitly instructed otherwise...

Extending Records to handle the richer semantics of Classes without losing the benefits of Records. A careful balancing act 🙂

@rorysutherland Oh come on, a Premier Inn, surely, the breakfast is superior

@lemire Other: it makes _more_ software.

@seatsixtyone Or even Fortingall, thanks autocorrect

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

@seatsixtyone Fortingale?

@thenewstef @Apple @AppleSupport I reckon all this apple stuff is really only fit to go in the canal nowadays

The odds of parachuting down and being attacked by kangaroo is very low, but never zero.

Watched this (Across the Spider-Verse, for complete context) for maybe the tenth time over Christmas, and it remains an absolute masterpiece.

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

Oh my days the new spider verse film is out of this world good. Go.

@tikhonjelvis This is why I always use my squirrel rather than someone else's

[andrew pignanelli @ndrewpignanelli]

my goal is to become successful enough to use an ipad instead of a laptop. It's the perfect device for the successful man - worse than both a phone and a computer, requiring a staff of people producing actual work to maintain communications with you. A unicycle for the mind.

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

@therealchreke I mean this one is soluble with a well factored dependency tree and a good build tool, no? Or are you wanting something that lets you edit a root node in an ABI incompatible way and still have a fast build?

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

@therealchreke I suspect getting the message out with modern build systems is probably possible, and we'll then discover that the test system hasn't got a bloody clue what to do with it...

[James Byatt @grumpyjames]

@therealchreke I feel like the build tool here rightfully says "hey, I built it, over to you now test system" and there's a missing message of "oh btw it was an incremental build and the artifacts that changed were [...]" and then the test system can traverse a different graph to do its work
