When writing tests, mocks with default behaviours, are very convenient for writing tests that fail to catch when you accidentally introduce bugs, or even fail to catch bugs when the tests were originally written.

This post brought to you by a day of trouble shooting "well tested" code.

And furthermore, I think it's important to understand what you're doing.

My employer, like so many others, has been forcing the use of hallucination machines. During a meeting recently we were talking about using it, and I referred to it as "it".

Obviously, it is proper English to do so. But, one coworker was shocked by this and asked me why I used that word. I calmly explained that it is a large very flawed statistical model and nothing more, so "it" is the appropriate word.

I think that blew their mind. Their reaction was just silence.

I miss actual intelligence

#ScribesAndMakers – 3 When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read it as present tense or past tense?

Just 'read' Without context? Infinitive. (the 'to' is silent.)
