Look, I'm with you on this, but name a thing within capitalism that _isn't_ designed solely to extract more wealth from you.

This is certainly an interesting approach, though, with (I assume) an IL interpreter in the kernel and no virtual memory... what's left that needs a user mode? (Or are you just not using user mode?)

Nope. I may not go to another JS conference again.

Going to Node.js collab summit.

I'll be in London for almost 3 days next week!

Haven't been since 2013.

What can't I miss?

(Also who wants to grab a pint or two?)

Everytime I learn more about software I am more surprised that the entire world is not on fire, all the time.

Can you elaborate on memory protection via static analysis?

A long time ago, someone on one site or another pointed out that zombie movies were all inaccurate because everyone was running and screaming, etc., when in reality, they'd be forced to stay at work through some mechanism or another.

Based on some facial expressions (and some publicly available info), I'd guess at least one of them is a Trumpist and didn't have to fake the grin too much.

Tuned in to the NASA broadcast and Trump is talking to Jeremy Hansen and I just want to fucking barf.

Way to ruin one of the most amazing things to happen in history with this fuckin guy.

Does that "SCIENCE" hexagon patch exist anywhere I can buy it? Can I get it as a laptop sticker?

For some extra fun, consider how old that movie is today compared to how many years after the actual mission it was made. ๐Ÿ‘€

A thing I wrote into my work slack just now:

"The previous record was set in 1970 by Apollo 13 astronauts Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks, and Bill Paxton."

18 years ago, at Canada Post, we had a lot of ex Nortel folks. Nortel had LOC quotas. Their trauma was palpable.

That puts a lot more faith in tests than I'm comfortable with, given, you know .... tests.

Not having made that leap just means you're doing your job correctly.

Intent/value isn't there if it's not structurally sound. And, as I mentioned previously, if no one actually reads and understands the code, you've abdicated _part_ of your responsibility as an engineer.

LLMs do not change any of this.

If you got a PR in pre-LLM times that _insisted_ that the spec doc that they'd writen up was exactly the code that was written, would you simply blindly accept that just the same?

It's a huge mistake to blindly trust LLM output, or that it did what it said it was going to do.

Same. Hard same. Frontend folks are wizards and I'm just a blacksmith or something.

Anyway all this to say: If your review overhead increases with AI usage, your two main options are to either ban AI usage, or re-educate the PR submitters on how actualy software engineering works.

Agreed! It's hard work! That doesn't abdicate our responsibility as software engineers though.

It's that attitude about UIs that frustrates the living shit out of end-users everywhere all the time. There's truly no good reason to propagate that line of thinking.

Then don't review any code ๐Ÿคท

That's always an option if you really only care if it "works".

Yes, because if you don't understand/know it, you can't be accountable for it. If no one's accountable for it, good luck when you have a prod outage where this code is the culprit.

Alternatively: If they won't review their code, why should you?

If the quantity has increased without the # of devs increasing, then the amount of time devs have looked at their own code has decreased, and that's a problem. Solve it there.
