Occasionally something as minor as a poorly named endpoint will send it on a tangent, but I've found pasting the OpenAPI schemas helps keep it on rails.
Still have the verification problem though. Unit tests aren't quite the right tool for the job, and E2E tests are heavy and finicky.
I suspect the tool struggles because a lot of the behavior is manually verified against a (usually underspecified) spec, and testing typically looks like "run this script and see if it matches the previous known-good output", or involves a 3rd party in the testing loop.
I write a lot of glue programs that use a series of API calls to munge/export data. Claude is heinously bad at this; it constantly introduces regressions, ignores existing fields (& hallucinates others) and generally just mucks up the output in hidden / subtle ways.
It's only 3d pop if it comes from the Zeiss region of Germany. Otherwise it's just sparkling barrel distortion.

Every piece of code I write feels like a decision I'm taking responsibility for. If my code doesn't work, or does something it shouldn't, it's on me. So I prefer to take my time and ensure the code is right to the best of my ability.
Manifesting the opposite of this
One of the first iterations of the Hatefeed hatefeed.ing attempted to filter to positive sentiments and just ended up being full of porn.

Your business is not big enough to use CI/CD beyond test environments; also, Git is not a suitable release gate.
Film still from The Big Short showing a close-up of Christian Bale portraying Dr. Michael Burry. He wears a blue T-shirt and white wired earphones, sitting in his cluttered office with blurred shelves and a monitor in the background. This moment occurs during a key scene in which Burry listens to music while analyzing financial data, underscoring his socially withdrawn and hyper-focused character as he anticipates the impending collapse of the U.S. housing market. The glass reflection in the foreground emphasizes his isolation and detachment from others around him.

It’s like with tax software—makers of tax software have an interest in making tax laws overly and needlessly complex.
Makers of “coding LLMs” have an interest in making it impossible to write code manually.
Frog and Toad illustration edited to say: Frog put the value in an option. "There", he said, "now we will not deref any more null pointers". "But we can unwrap the option," said Toad. "That is true", said Frog.

Found out that Attilla Danko, webmaster of cleardarksky.com, died late last year. www.cleardarksky.com/personal/ind...
CDS has been an excellent resource for #astronomy forecasts for myself and doubtless many others. RIP Attilla.

Oh look, a Python package that does exactly what I need! It's lightweight and well-documented, even!
It's unfortunately also unmaintained and depends on an older version of a library my project uses that has since introduced breaking changes 🙃

And one thing I'm quickly realizing about myself is that I have a hard time sympathizing with the idea that "the way the world used to work" is harder than how big tech wants it to work.
I can't shake the feeling that big tech thrives on people who conflate "new" with better.
Two decades. Countless commits. Approximately one billion merge conflicts. Happy birthday to our favorite little version control system, Git! 🥳

I wish the Slack and Google Photos notification bar icons were slightly more distinct. 😐
Last time I tried to use Haskell, it bit me, I got a rare blood disorder, and I had to start medication.
At least there are no side effects.
It's okay to let it outside, won't survive for long. Nature abhors a vacuum.
There are 2 environments:
testing and ✨spicy testing✨. Some people erroneously call ✨spicy testing✨ "prod"
