It's the same level of testing for us for either Python2->3 or Go (it's a legacy code base, low automated coverage). Conversion is now (somewhat) easier, the testing will be the slow part. For the speed improvements,…
Yes, sorry, typing fast - we knew Go would be faster but not quite on that scale.
Doing it currently, Python to Go. Early indications are a 50-98% increase in speed (e.g. one testcase went from 26hrs to 30mins) for network/CPU heavy workload. Conversion via Qwem, lots of testing needed but compute…
I don't think this goes far enough -- its a best case scenario. There is no Utopia for mankind at the end of an AGI that is the labor force because people need a purpose; without that, degenerate behaviours and vice are…
A company I worked for has run VFP up until the last few years. I cut my teeth professionally with it on ETL processes. It moved data around like nobodies business!
This mirrors my own thoughts. Additionally, for businesses looking to replace people (particularly developers) with agentic AI, this is arguably worse from an accounting perspective as the cost of using these services…
My pet theory here is that Anthropic wants to be the end-to-end system for all software delivery on the web, with its model firmly at the centre of that universe. I have seen posts (but not confirmed) that as part of…
This is an excellent and distinctly frustrating game Echo comments on restart being faster; maybe having the % stats in the main ui somewhere. Will be recommending this to some friends.

I've not heard that goal before. If true, it makes me sad to hear that once again, people confuse "More LOC == More Customer Value == More Profit". Sigh.
As the manager is accountable for the problem being solved, they are responsible for making sure processes are optimal. There definitely should be an onus on individuals and teams to reflect and generate their own…
Depends where you go, these two terms get used interchangeably (incorrectly IMO) and so there is some semantic drift. If you were to read Julie Starr's "The Coaching Manual", or "The Coaching Habit", the definition is…
The Coaching Habit is a fantastic book and is the right way to do. Managers don't exist to solve other peoples problems; it's vice versa. Managers are accountable for a problem, and responsible for building a team that…
I agree with some of the points here, but I roundly disagree. Agree with: people are employed to do a job, they should be empowered to get on and do it with minimal supervision, escalation, and distraction (particularly…
Many hours of fun it was running CounterStrike servers and writing my own plugins. Halcyon days :)
I agree the problem, but the given solution feels a bit clunky to me. From a syntax perspective, passing an options object and applying it over a set of defaults feels a lot cleaner. The reason kwargs work in Python is…
It's a great message, thanks for sharing.
This really made me laugh, thank you :)
I think you hit the nail on the head: React is a good fit for certain solutions (like interactivity rich web applications), while not a good fit for others (like adding minor interactivity into a form). There are trade…
Hi hopelite. I typed out a decently detailed response to your message, but decided to cut it short. I think we probably have a profoundly different viewpoint and set of experiences which would be too much to try and…
Right, supporting PA is illegal, opposing what's happening in Gaza is not. That's why I specifically didn't say having a placard with a message supporting PA, but "Stop Genocide in Palestine". That is the detail that…
I should note that my comparison was to a US organisation proscribed as an eco-terror organisation, the name of which escapes me, and which I couldn't find in a quick scan back through my reading or here[0]. I came…
I appreciate that with recent articles shared here it might look that way. What is difficult as a Brit reading this is that so little has actually changed that I can't quite grasp what you mean. Firstly, the paper…
As a Brit, I'd agree that it's not ideal. However, the characterisation of terrorist scare in the 2000's, is somewhat off. Over the course of the last two decades, there have been numerous terrorist attacks, most…
I'll stand to be wrong, but I believe in one case a member of staff and two police officers were also assaulted. Terrorism isn't necessarily about body count, it's about motivation. If the motive is political change,…
