Not sure how we went from plain, straightforward words to LinkedIn speak but now you can use Kagi Translate to fit right into that crowd:

When the outlook is so poor that you have to crack down on reporting about it, it's a sign you’re in an authoritarian system.

Software development teams, for the love of software engineering, STOP splitting frontend/backend applications into separate repositories!

The amount of bullshit contract-level testing that you have to do just because of this is enormous!

Being able to re-use the same code-level symbol across layers is an advantage.

And no, making a `shared` repository somewhere else just amplifies deployment issues @_@

AI Didn't Simplify Software Engineering: It Just Made Bad Engineering Easier

GitHub - pronskiy/php-debugger: Lightweight PHP debugger extension (forked from Xdebug, stripped to debug-only and optimized) | Roman Pronskiy | 11 comments

I forked Xdebug – stripped to debug-only and optimised to reduce overhead of enabled debugger in PHP from 300% to 5%. All (almost) done by feeding the Xdebug source code into OpenClaw and tinkering with it. What does this mean? PHP devs can keep this debugger running all the time and it won’t slow down the code. No need for all that fuss of turning the debugger on and off. On the other hand, is a step debugger even necessary in the world of AI agents? https://lnkd.in/egb83Tzw | 11 comments on LinkedIn

So AGENTS.md is just the human-readable documentation the AI dudebros have been refusing to include in README.md until now, because they claim that the code is "self documenting" and everyone else must be stupid if they can't figure things out.

I've spent my whole career working with neurodivergent people in tech.

Here's to the people who thrive with interrupts, who work best when juggling four different things, are pretty great incident responders, and can code while talking on slack.

Here's to the people who need four uninterupted hours to get anything done, but what they get done is fantastic, and they have the in depth knowledge to explain nuances you didn't even know were there, making them the folk who find the long term remediations after incidents.

Here's to the people who take great joy in picking the lint out of a codebase because it's fun, who refactor for the challenge, who see bad process and ache to get changes in to reduce the friction.

Here's to the people who seem to know everyone, who reach across teams to tap experts who don't get the recognition others do, and work best when working WITH.

Y'all are amazing
