I'm a big fan of this explanation/rant from Andrew Murphy.

Taken as a whole, there are many bottlenecks in a corporate software development process. The "load-bearing" calendar is a great example!

Speeding up code creation just increases pressure on the bottleneck, which decreases throughput.

If you thought the speed of writing code was your problem - you have bigger problems | Debugging Leadership

AI coding tools are optimising the wrong thing and nobody wants to hear it. Writing code was already fast. The bottleneck is everything else: unclear requirements, review queues, terrified deploy cultures, and an org chart that needs six meetings to decide what colour the button should be.

November 3rd, 1975, Laika was launched into space… never meant to return. But what if that isn't the whole story? What if she was secretly sent to protect Earth from evil space aliens? Blast your way through endless waves of enemies as the best girl to ever go to space!

Could someone take a look at this, please?

@hannorein @unnon89 @EloPup @pojntfx @tdelmas There were several comments from the public to the EU about requiring google "phone home" APIs when the EU Commission published a reference implementation for digital wallets. Met with shoulder shrugs about "it's only a reference implementation, no state is forced to use it". Which is an astoundingly strange comment about a _reference_ implementation. So they knew and were told repeatedly. Either they are criminally incompetent, corrupt, or both.

@drcaberry
I love that "math isn't scary just sometimes irrational" literally 😆

I would say Math is a language THE language of the Universe. Math here works on the moon or a comet, alpha centauri or inside an atom it just gets really weird.

It's a language like
Cough
Though
Bough
Through
Dough
Thought
Enough
Deal with it.
