@dhh Sad that someone as bright-minded as you adopts such an outrageously racist/supremacist stance.

[Omar Othman 🟡 @omothm]

@ParmScript @YoavCodes @jarredsumner Tests are necessary but not sufficient. Trust is also necessary. `doA() { doMaliciousThing(); a(); }` would happily pass all "behavioral tests" but still be risky, and AI is so fragile and attack-prone that you can't trust it with a codebase that lives deep in the infrastructure.

@donalfellows @Grady_Booch We're not in disagreement. "No proof until actual proof" is exactly my point. This very topic is on the edge separating science and philosophy, and I'm pointing out that Mr Booch's standpoint is philosophical, not scientific. Can't be scientific (a purely logical conclusion).

[Omar Othman 🟡 @omothm]

@donalfellows @Grady_Booch You could approximate anything (incl. brains!)—that's different. What Mr Booch "believes" (he's referencing a thesis) is that the brain is reducible into a computational model based off of its "physical" nature. But sentience isn't (proven to be) physical, thus the premise fails.

[Omar Othman 🟡 @omothm]

@Grady_Booch You start with "Sentience is a consequence of physics" and then immediately follow with "I see no evidence that requires..." to refute the opposite. But there's no evidence as well for the first sentence. You could argue either way all you want.

Truth stays as clear as day.

@ryanflorence @FurkanGozukara Ryan, I do believe you are blessed. And I do believe the right next step for you is to pick up a Qur'an. May God show us all His true path and bless you and your loved ones.

Ülkede garip bir kitle var. Oruçtan bahsettiğiniz anda, beyinlerinde otomatik bir "Whataboutism" motoru çalışmaya başlıyor. Birden kul hakkından, rüşvetten, taciz olaylarından falan bahsetmeye başlıyorlar.

Mesela çocukları sahura kaldırmanın güzelliğinden bahsediyorum. Hemen birisi, “Haram parayı cebine indir, sonra çocukları sahura kaldır! Oh, ne güzel!” diyor. Zekât vermenin faziletinden bahsedin, hemen konuyu rüşvet vermeye bağlıyorlar. “Ramazan ayında dışarıda yemek içmek ayıp oluyor, biraz saygılı olmak lazım” yazıyorum. “Önce milletin hakkına saygılı olup kaçak kat çıkmayacaksın” diyorlar.

Ya arkadaş! Ben Ramazan ayına hürmetten bahsediyorum. Sen niye konuyu imar affına getiriyorsun? Sahurda yetim hakkı yediğimi, iftarı kul hakkıyla açtığımı nereden çıkardın? Hem bunlar birbiriyle takas edilen mevzular değil ki!

Mesela diş sağlığından bahseden birisine, “Trafikte şerit ihlali yapan kişi, dişini fırçalasa ne olur?” diyebilir misin? Diyebilirsin elbette ama saçma olur. Deme yani!

Hem hayırdır? Bu öfke ne!

@thdxr Tests are not the most important artifact of TDD. It's the influence on architecture. Not saying that only TDD can produce good architecture, but it's one of the best ways to.

@37signals Roll your own CDN, folks :)

@evanyou Nooooo I'm not giving up my pun that easily

[Omar Othman 🟡 @omothm]

@jasonfried Absolutely. Since that moment I've tried everything Asian. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai. Never thought there's so much to like (and a few things to dislike).

Similary, I came to like Tailwind after _having_ to use it. Now trying to "relike" vanilla CSS after seeing Fizzy :)

One of my favorite lessons I’ve learnt from working with smart people:

Action produces information. If you’re unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it’s the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.

Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.

@thdxr I didn't bother checking Gemini 3. I'll use the latest version of whatever model fits my task and only revert to an older version during new version hiccups. Versions are becoming meaningless by the day, no big leaps. All I care is Gemini thinks better, Claude codes better, etc.

[Omar Othman 🟡 @omothm]

@thdxr @wesbos As long as everything is driven by paychecks, it'll only get worse.

The best experience happens when profit is a secondary concern and focus is strictly on users. Basecamp is a prime example of this. Steve's Apple, too.

You may also want to follow that by reading a whole chapter in one setting:

@ryanflorence And this is an excellent moment to take your belief in God, who sent Jesus your way to lead you to Him, into its most complete form by answering to Jesus' brother, successor, and last true Prophet:
