What a great practical article! I deeply resonate with the incident metrics section and the questions you need to ask yourself - I'd add another...how long does it take to get it running on your local machine?

If you can nail this it massively reduces the friction to someone mentioning a bug has occurred to you reproducing it and then deploying a fix. If you need to run 10 micro-services to work out why a button isn't registering a click event, that kind of stuff is going to sap the energy of your engineering team and trade-off isn't worth the effort.
I think you can get around this by just keeping ownership for 7 years, but promising any profit/loss from 6 of those 7 years to someone else via a private contract-for-differnce.
Indeed. The good news is, it actually turns out to be about the same or cheaper than ongoing treatment of a untreated sickle cell:

"""Each treatment is an individualized “one-off” treatment. For this reason, a single treatment for a single patient is expensive. At present it is estimated that in the UK treatment will cost £1 million or more. In the US the estimated cost is $2 million.

That may seem prohibitive, but we need to consider the overall cost-effectiveness of the treatment, which means comparing the cost of treatment to the cost of managing each disease without the treatment. Sickle cell patient require frequent hospitalization, which can be very expensive. One analysis found that Casgevy can be cost effective at £1.5 million or $1.9 million. This is in range of the estimated cost. Also, the longer the treatment benefits last, the more cost effective the treatment becomes. A lifetime of transfusions or hospital admissions adds up."""

I'm convinced something in the language center of my brain was altered by covid. Words don't flow as smoothly as they used to. I don't know if its because the two-years of being shut in just kind of stunted me socially, I'm just getting older, or if covid actually gave me minor brain damage. Scary stuff.

>you've already added tremendous value.

Or you've just filled a niche that already exists in the world, and that could have been filled by someone better, but you're more connected or more ruthless. See also "Multiple discovery" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery as compared to the "heroic theory" of invention and discovery.

You're not special, sure you might have invented whatever 20 years before someone else, but most great discoveries of big shifts would have been done by someone.

I guess my question is, what if the thing you invented was a better more addictive casino? Sure, you're preying on psychological weaknesses and misleading people, but you're still making money.

Most business lie somewhere in between "more addictive casino" and "genuinely add value to the world". I'd argue the difference between them is where almost all of the profit comes from for most companies.

AD is like Jira: it's not great, but loads of things integrate with it. You can do SAML or OIDC for more modern logins, and you can speak LDAP/AD for other systems, and all your Windows logins will just work. Also, your skills acquired 20 years ago on AD are still relevant, which is why as an IT head you'll probably stick with AD.

That's slavery, so only if they're bad at it. (The reason economics is called "the dismal science" is slaveowners got mad at them for saying slavery was bad for the economy.)

> Besides I don't see the market difference of having to pay to maintain a horse with feed, healthcare, grooming, etc. which likely costs something on a similar order as paying a human's monthly wage that gets used in similar ways.

The horse can't negotiate and won't leave you because it gets a competing offer. And it's not up to your what your employee spends their wages on, and their wages aren't set by how much you think they should be spending.

Awesome. Do docker image layers persist across build runs? Github, BuildJet, etc. use ephemeral runners, so subsequent runs have to re-pull everything from scratch, which is where most of my actions' time is spent now. If you're able to persist these across runs, that'd be a reason to switch alone.
It's perfectly acceptable to let bugs escape into production if those "cost" of fixing that bug higher than the "cost" to the user experience / job to be done. A bug that takes a week to fix that will only be encountered by a small amount of users in a small number of obscure scenarios may not need to be fixed.

So when the potato chips at my local supermarket have gone from $2 to $6 in a couple years, they got 3X tastier/more good, right? The potatoes in the produce section are still the same price, and my friends up north who literally grow those potatoes aren't making a dime more, so the money is all going to the chip makers. Are lays potato chips suddenly curing cancer or something?

Or when netflix raises it's price, they definitely have way more content and more reliable distribution right?

Yes. I hadn't meant my comment as argument on either side, just added context.
d(code)/dt isn't a very good metric though. Think of the Linux kernel. Drivers get some of the least maintenance work and are broadly the lowest quality part of the kernel. arch/ is busier than drivers/, but anything you find in the parts being touched are also significantly higher quality.

Having the lane go down the middle of the street seems like a bad idea. Where I live, the city is moving the bike lane to the inside, near the curb, and the parked cars to the outside. It's not a perfect solution either but it does provide good separation from traffic without losing a lot of parking. And you're not having dodge so many open doors or cars trying to park.

But we still have some shopowners bitching. Which just means I can take my business elsewhere.

> In addition, at least in my studies, there was a semester about project management approaches and scrum. All of which is great, but QA is missing completely.

Just an anecdote, but, we had a "Software Development" class like this in CS (I took it in the '90s) and even though it followed a waterfall development model[0] and we used Gantt charts, QA (testing) was a big part of it and 1 of our 4 team members (or maybe 2 of 4 worked on it together) was primarily responsible for it. (I wrote the parser and the made diagrams/documentation for the parser.)

The description (in an old catalog[1]) is:

Software specification, design, testing, maintenance, documentation; informal proof methods; team implementation of a large project.

Turns out I didn't need to look up the old catalog because the description is exactly the same still! Except it's CS 371 now, and the longer "Learning Outcomes" for the course has some newer stuff (agile and version control) but otherwise is all the same things I learned at the time.

"company cars" is just an example. If you want to look at the statistics, look at Federal government total receipts[1] divided by GDP. You'll see that it's mostly remained flat since the 1950s (since the data starts) despite large changes in headline tax rates.

While not a panacea, visual/snapshot testing tools like Cypress + Percy that perform clicks and take screenshots can be tremendously helpful to ensure that building in a programmatic QA plan is a predictable part of the scope of what is coded.

And the good thing about snapshots is that they provide a visual way to communicate a preview to stakeholders of what may change, both for the currently-being-developed workflow as well as to prevent visual regressions elsewhere - so they're inherently more easily justifiable than "we're spending time on testing that you'll never see."

The article is correct that treating QA as the last phase of the project, and a disposable phase at that, is a recipe for disaster. But if you make it an ongoing part of a project as individual stories are burned down, and rebrand it as part of a modern development workflow, then it's an entirely different conversation.

I assumed you understood we reached the end of the usefulness of your hypothetical to the original analogy since, as you said, the tools can be broken in different ways. I tried to introduce a scenario that was more applicable and less theoretical so that we could discuss those particular points.

If we do somehow try to apply your analogy, it would indicate that the LLM output is flawed in a way we cannot scrutinize -- the hidden failures that we aren't detecting (why? It's not specified, I am assuming because we didn't check to see if the tool was "broken" and not meeting some unspecified quality-level; that is, it's an unknown unknown failure mode).

This doesn't really comport with the LLM scenario, where the output is fully viewed, and the outputs are widely understood (that is it is a known failure mode).

This is more closely related to a computing service -- of which you are an active user of. You are using a "broken" computer right now, according to your definition of broken correct ?
This is Day 1 so the price and how well it works today is almost certainly the worst it will ever be. Insurance will likely cover the cost.

Inequality is like an infection, weakening the immune system and allowing owners of the press, politicians, and agitators to spread populist ideas that would otherwise be laughed off.

> This leads to shows like “Ted Lasso”—a “sunshine enema”, in the words of one of its producers—and “The Morning Show”, which debuted as a hard-hitting drama about a broadcast-news network’s toxic culture but has degenerated into a mindless soap opera. Amazon, whose early TV commissioning was more daring, now also focuses on the middle ground, with series such as “Citadel”, a big-budget, low-imagination thriller with plenty of explosions and no surprises.

It's pretty telling, to me, that the TV show I have most enjoyed in the last year is "Who is Erin Carter?", a solidly B grade miniseries. Little character development and little in the way of relatability, drama or believability, but at least it had realistic motivations for its main character: wanting to fit in, be accepted.

"Ted Lasso", I just get "the ick" thinking about. Even the name seems "1980s porn star"-ish. "The Morning Show" was always going to be a sub-par soap, just from the name and setting.

It also seems like these platforms create (rather than support) anti-Israeli views:

US views skew pro-israel, and GenZ is closer to 50/50, so if there's something going on online, it's not in favor of Israel.

It's probably relevant that there are 1 billion Muslims to 16 million Jews, and that the largest relevant population of pro-Israeli internationals is India and Indian Hindus, and they are not on TikTok (blocked in India).
Wow nice trolling!
Eh, not really. Powershell itself is fairly limited in terms of functionality. It's basically one step removed from a .Net REPL, and the .Net classes aren't necessarily written to do *nix admin tasks. It gives you all of .Net to build tools with, but sometimes you still run into Microsoftisms that are total nonsense. There's a reason every C# project was using Newtonsoft's JSON.Net instead of the wonky custom data representations that MS was trying to push left over from the embrace/extend/extinguish era.

Growing up on a farm 30 years ago - we wouldn't have to wait a day or two. You would start fixing the problem straight away, worse case being someone would have to drive to get a part and then you would install it.

And many parts you could fix yourself with a well stocked workshop (think welding gear, cutting equipment, stuff to work on hydraulics, lots of random crap, spare bits of metal and a large space or in the field).

There is no need to accommodate for future usage. Most of the issues resulting from abstractions actually come from people treating abstractions as sacred, trying to adapt abstractions used by some piece of code to fit new use cases, when they should be treating abstractions as disposable instead, swapping them out and creating new ones instead of altering existing ones. If the abstraction that you come up with based on the first few examples is not suitable for new use cases, that's completely fine.

As far as generality is concerned, it's not the number of examples that matters. Once you learn to distinguish whether your duplicated code actually duplicates some piece of knowledge or just happens to resemble another piece of code by happenstance, you stop having to rely on an unreliable magic number as your limit on how many instances of duplication to allow before abstracting something. And that skill probably correlates strongly with the understanding that abstractions are not just macros that make it more convenient to repeat some chunk of code, they actually represent knowledge, and thus their primary use is not to eliminate duplication, but to encode an understanding of a problem domain into the code.

That's my bike route too, and I was surprised at the change. The previous bike lanes were familiar and fine. Cars would stop in them but that's at least a known risk.

The new system is complicated and seems less safe, because you have to cross traffic to get in and out of the lane, and it's all unclear. It also puts the opposing bike traffic right next to each other, people don't necessarily stay in their lanes, and there are visibility issues at night.

Last year Annihilation and the rest of the trilogy rekindled my passion for reading after almost a decade.
Vandemeer really has a way with words but specifically in this novel he manages to describe what I though was indescribable.

It was only fair that I tried another one of his trilogies, Borne, The Strange Bird and Dead Astronauts.

With Borne being pretty normal (for Vandermeer standards) and the other two reading like pretty ramblings at times if you lack the context. I still loved them but they may not be for everyone.
You should read them in the order above so that you have as many pieces of the prose puzzle when you reach Dead Astronauts. But even if you end up not liking the writing of the last two books, Borne can still be enjoyed independently.

As for this year.
