TDD is an enjoyable way to work. Moving and splitting tests to facilitate a large code arch refactor isn't! It great that this is a task that AI Agents excel at, making TDD smother. #TDD #AIAGENTS #Cursor

Just used #cursor's 'Plan' mode for the first time. Wow that works well! Iterate the plan first, before clicking build and then 'Agent' mode then has a go at implementing.

#Cusor - in the past everyone emphasized that software development isn't just coding, however it was always the most important bit. If you couldn't do the coding well you weren't a good dev. For a lot of projects the code construction skill is now less critical.

Just used #Cursor to add a feature to our metrics site. Changes to 7 files. (new react component for graph plus refactoring to reuse annotations from other graphs.) I guess by hand this would have taken about 4 hours. Took 35mins in total.

#Cursor - static typing got more important, as even in your own small projects you didn't write most of the code. (So reading more writing less)

While updating my Python3Android Nuget packages (https://t.co/SW8OzSc8IU), and looking at Python3 performance over time, I was surprised to learn that it took 10+ years for Python3 performance to reach 2.7 levels! (https://t.co/QehKXCmXjw) (#python2 #python3)

About the thing that happened at that Coldplay concert, I have seen countless memes and jokes about it online. I even saw a major grocery store chain create an ad out of it. This text from Ephesians comes to mind:

“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God” (Eph. 5:3-5).

The logic of this text is that it’s not only sinful to commit sexual immorality, but it’s also wrong to make light of it or joke about it. Why? Because people who engage in sexual immorality without repenting are going to suffer in outer darkness forever.

In other words, if God is committed to applying his holy indignation to a thing for eternity, how can we laugh and find delight in it? Righteousness consists in part in loving what God loves and hating what God hates. How can we rightly delight in something that God hates?

The answer is that we can’t. It will always only be wrong to delight in what God abominates. That is why such “coarse jesting” and “filthiness” and “silly talk” are an offense to God. It reveals a human heart out of alignment with God’s heart.

Imagine what this would be like if you were on the other end of it. Suppose a loved one is murdered (maybe your child or a spouse) and you walk into the wake and all the “mourners” are not mourning. Instead, they are not only laughing but they are also making jokes about the way your loved one was killed. It would be an outrage for them to be joking and making light of the very thing that is the source of your greatest grief.

That is what “coarse jesting” and “filthiness” and “silly talk” are like before God. It is joking about the very thing that is going to send impenitent sinners to hell. It is making light of the very thing that made the death of Jesus necessary. It is delighting in the very thing that is an offense to God’s holiness.

None of us are batting a thousand on righteousness. We’ve all transgressed what Paul is warning against in Eph. 5:4. And that is all the more reason to do better and to beware of the memes and the making light of what was revealed at that concert. What was revealed there is an offense to God and will bring incalculable pain into the lives of both the transgressors and their families.

It’s not funny, and it never will be.

I see people posting about selling certain fastfood being 'unchristian', due to perceived healthiness. Thankfully I can ignore extra regulations! Psa 119:1

Enzyme shallow rendering allowed unit testing without (lots of) mocking. Effectively got dependency injection of aggregated components for free. To do the same with jest requires so much more mocking, and is a far less enjoyable experience. #react #testing #enzyme #jest

`We should never say about an evil event, “God willed it and therefore it is good.” because we must recognize that some things that God’s will of decree has planned are not in themselves good, and should not receive our approval, just as they do not receive God’s approval.`

I've been trying out coding in cursor instead of vscode. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it definitely feels like this.

Thankful for all the work @GPeacock8 has done at @Calvary_Grace over the last decade.
Learned lots from him. His encouragement to learn and think lots on Col 1:15+ has done me much good.
Over the years many of the kids in my Sunday school class have also learnt these verses.

Need to debug a self contained .net core app running in a snap container, that lacks a .net install?
Use lldb + dotnet-sos from host system:
