  1. RE: fosstodon.org/@nurkiewicz/1164

    It’s all about the money and it always was. As AI vendors start charging what it actually costs instead of burning VC, this is going to change the story from „we’re gonna fire you for not using enough AI“ to „pleeeease use it only when it really helps“. Turns out, this is something, that well trained engineers can actually do.

  3. *New Article*

    In the past weeks and months, some friends and colleagues send me articles and quotes from public figures talking about AI in one way or the other. Mostly, they talk about how everything will change and how AI will be the solution to all problems.

    I decided to write a piece about this.

  5. Getting Renovate to work in a yaml pipeline running in a corporate network with private artifact registries and proxies in place is just a lot of fun.

    „Erschaffen“ oder „Stornieren?“

  9. Can anyone spot the difference between these strings?

    `"serialNumber":"551cb36993ec4442d83da5f223ee8158dce730f3"`

    '"serialNumber":"551CB36993EC4442D83DA5F223EE8158DCE730F3"'

    Just spent three hours on this.

    Anyone got a good screamin' void recommendation?

  11. #swdev advice request:

    I'm the lead dev on my team. One of my team members almost always asks for a meeting to talk about their PR code reviews. I'd prefer to keep them text-based and asynchronous as it makes more efficient use of my limited time.

    How do y'all handle this?

  13. Writing some openssl certificate validation code. Tests start failing after an innocuous unrelated change. Cue wailing/gnashing/etc.

    The validity period of the certificate in my test system ended while I was working. There was no code change that broke it. 😭

  15. I have reached the realisation that most of the internet is just shuttling data between openssl code, and most software engineering is making sure you don't interfere with openssl talking to itself via your nonsense.

  19. Great read! Only 10% of the teams do CI, and you might not be amongst them. 😱

    I’ve had many colleagues asking me „what, you don’t do pull-requests? How do you maintain quality?“ or „you push directly to main, are you mad?“

    It’s really sad, that years and years of people growing up with GitHub as as defacto standard tool which was build for low-trust projects in an open-source community, ignoring this is not how you should build software in a closed team.

  21. I was somehow resisting to switch back to Firefox, especially for work because everything single time I saw a browser crashing or hanging in the past years it was Firefox. Now, with the leadership turning evil, even less reason to do so. Privately, I am on Safari, for work have to use Chrome and Firefox for testing. :/

  23. In the end, nothing worked. I did it the old school way, googled the problem, found the answer on the first google hit on Stack Overflow.

    Then, confronted with the solution, Cursor was able to also fix it.

    So, I would say a deep integration into the IDE is really a benefit when it comes to run code, shell commands and read console output.

    But be careful not to lose yourself in the vibe.

  25. Having this in your toolbox for certain tasks is great, if you know what you’re doing. But relying on it blindly is a huge risk.

    Also funny is how it sometimes get completely stuck. Something was not working, and it tried funny and weird things to fix it. It was creating test programs A,B,C to ask me to run them and respond which version was working to (UI) and then apply the fix to the actual „prod“ code.

  27. Yesterday, I vibe coded a bit with Cursor AI for a private project for fun. It is actually pretty cool on a first glance. Even a bit addictive TBH. The problem with that is, that most people will not click and expand the generated code snippets and review that. You are on a different abstraction level, thinking of features rather than sw development which is quite interesting. But, this leads to massive chunks of unknown code pushed to production.

  30. As much of big fan of #IntelliJ I am, as much do I hate working with #Rider. It just not a consistent experience if know all the bits and pieces of IntelliJ, Rider works slightly but annoyingly differently and it very often hangs and crashes. The might happen due to plugins, but I never had this bad experience with IntelliJ with a ton of plugins.

    An no, I will not use VS or VScode for reasons.

    Please @jetbrains , put some love in @rider .
