Jason GormanClaude Mythos is that guy down the pub who is so good at karate that if he used it on you, you'd die instantly, and that's why you'll never see him using karate.
PeteSo #BikeTooter seems very excited by this noise-cancelling headphone negating bell, but I don't get it. Pedestrians have priority. End of. They don't need to hear you. Many can't hear you even if they wanted to. Thinking that dinging a bell comes with an expectation of a clear run is no different to drivers honking a horn and expecting cyclists to get out the road. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I say LLMs are good at writing code that they're bad at modifying, no matter how we prompt, this is what I'm talking about.
Note also how problem completion rates never get even close to 100% under any conditions. I've never seen it, either. I suspect nobody has.
This is that "Fool's Errand" I've been talking about.
CircleCI's analysis of 28 million CI workflows confirms the same picture the DORA data shows. While feature branch activity's up significantly, the median impact on *main* (i.e. release) branch activity's net-negative 7%.
Only the top 5% of teams saw significant gains. The top 10% flatlined at 1%.
For the average team, AI slows them down overall.
Told ya!
What 28 million workflows reveal about AI coding’s biggest risk
In our last issue, we shared a preview of data from our upcoming 2026 State of Software Delivery showing that the promised AI productivity boom isn’t all hype. Throughput across the CircleCI platform increased 59% year-over-year, by far the largest productivity jump we've ever recorded and a clear i
Matt BlazeMail in ballots have security features and a processing workflow that mirror that of in-person voting. Just about every mechanism that prevents you from showing up to vote in person multiple times or without being registered has an analog - sometimes a stronger one - in mail-in ballot processing.
The precise details vary from state to state and for different voters, but roughly:
