The approach I’ve been taking lately with general AI development:

1. Define the work.

2. When working in a legacy code base provide good examples of where we want to go with the migration and the expectation of the outcome.

3. Tell it about what support tools you have, lint, build, tests, etc.

4. Select a very specific scenario to modify first and have it write tests for the scenario.

5. Manually read and tweak the tests, ensure they’re testing what you want, and they cover all you require. The tests help guardrail the actual code changes.

6. Depending upon how full the context is, I may create a new chat and then pull in the test, the defined work, and any related files and ask it to implement based upon the data provided.

This general approach has worked well for most situations so far. I’m positive it could be improved so any suggestions are welcome.

OpenTelemetry (OTel) and the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) are immensely powerful tools. The ability to emit telemetry data from any source, coupled with a receiver that can sample, filter, pipe, and potentially reshape the data to suit any need, is a game changer. This flexibility revolutionizes how we approach observability and monitoring across diverse systems.

I wish I could buy you a beer.

With things like this, you realize how short life is, and sometimes how brittle it can be. I often forget that the people that built the foundation of what we use every day are still with us, and we have a short time to be able to show them appreciation before we say thank you to someone who has gone, if you know of someone that has dedicated time to something that you use, show your appreciation this week. It might be the last time that you have the opportunity to make that human contact.

Thank you, sir. <3 vim

As an American and working with a lot of really smart people over my career in IT, I don’t see this happening. I find most people I’ve come across suffer from imposter syndrome.

Those I know outside IT work, get paid and spend time with family. I don’t really see any superiority.

That’s just my perspective on a small part of the world. Have a great weekend all!

Wow, now I want to gather bottles and throw them in the ocean. I kid of course, but that’s sorta beautiful.

I always knew someone would see me as a god despite what my wife says.

That’s a very cool piece of tech right there. Has in evolved much since then?

This was moving. I read it aloud to my family. You’re a blessing, and I appreciate your generosity and kindness.

I genuinely enjoy this community!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all!

This has helped me immensely. Nothing crazy, do 5 rounds of squats at your pace, 1 minute a part. Or sit-ups, push-ups, hollow-mans, etc. it wakes me up, and makes me want to work. I’m tired after, but that’s getting better as I get more into shape. Best of luck to all!

I mean, if you’re going to go out that way you might as well go Kool-Aid brand.

I have three.

1. Spend more time with my family. I have a 1 year old daughter, and boy the time flies watching her grow. I’m slowing down my career and investing in her.

2. Becoming healthy by continued devotion to eating for fuel, being mindful of my activity level and enjoying this beautiful world we all inhabit.

3. Showing gratitude and love for my fellow humans.

Have a Happy New Year all, I hope you make it happen this year!

Is there a paywall free version?

I’d vote for anything named mystical-quagmire-cheesepuff.

I have to say I’ve been using Shitbowl since it’s inception and I’ve never used such a powerful system before.

Up until now I relied on attempting to organize my own shit which lets be honest, was super shitty. Then comes Shitbowl. My wife and in-laws didn’t understand the technology at first but once I really got them to try it they were immediately onboard.

Thanks Shitbowl for making our lives better!

Looks useful. I’m on mobile though, and the docs aren’t mobile friendly.

^ I have a hard time being down when I’m helping others. The opportunity is all around us. Thanks for posting flightless!

Too bad this isn’t the default setup for Twitter! I’d actually use the silly thing in that case

Yes, we watched my nephew from birth to just over 3 years old for 16 hours a day while I worked. He learned that if the door was closed it meant I was busy. At times when I had on music he knew he could come in and sit and listen while I worked as long as he didn’t talk.

He grew up that way though, so YMMV of course.

That’s really difficult in the beginning. Like others have said, boundaries are awesome. One thing I did that helped a lot is simply asking if I’d pop into their work to sit and ask a few questions. The answer has always been no. So I ask that they not do that when I’m at work either.

That’s helped in most if not all cases.

I’ve worked from home for a number of years. It’s all about having a normal schedule. My family knows when I’m in the office, I am at work. There isn’t anyone popping over my shoulder, and general interruptions are almost nil in my case.

I think a lot of people are going to be super surprised what a quiet room and your playlist of choice can do to increase productivity. Just my 2 cents.
