Making decisions based on distinguishing A from B is a legit thing to do. Complaining that it's "telling what's right and wrong" is a strawman argument IMO. It's about choices: they made a choice and many users are/will be joufully making the compatible choice.
I discovered just this week that the numbering of weeks within the year is different between US and Europe, thus, cal -w can show different numbers for some years depending on the locale. Outlook can probably also show different things depending on the system settings.
Europe uses the algo according to the ISO 8601 standard, where the week no.1 is the one with January 1st occuring between Monday and Thursday, inclusive. If the 1st happens on Friday or later within a week, it's considered a week no.52 or 53 of the previous year.
US does not use this scheme and [EDITED] I am not sure what method is applied there.
Some companies use week numbers in business talks, planning and scheduling, so be aware who is speaking about which weeks!
No worries. My impression was, the premise of your articles was not (at least not initially) a compiler for a fullest Ruby with all of its intricacies, but rather showing a great technique how to tackle a problem. For me and few of my pals it was an inspiring eye-opener. We were coming from the 8bit era and had our hands dirty in assembly before, yet your approach showed we can do a lot of low-level stuff in a modern Unix setup.
Kudos for your work - and I guess you've had a lot of fun as well
I was recently considering an engineering job offer at Grafana. At the end I was turned off by the amount of their AI-related mindless propaganda and demands they have put right in the job offer. (Which is by the way quite rare; it is rather untypical to state in the position description how a developer should use AI tools; even though everyone can imagine how it looks like).
Looks like they could have invested more energy in the processes and security rather than catching up "innovation" craze that much
The behavior of companies when "adapting to AI" is like a famous phrase about communism - they heroically struggle overcoming problems created purely by themselves.
