Well, this is the internet after all…

Agreed 100%

I was just making a bit of a joke… 👍

Well, that’s cool!

I guess my memories of ENT are fuzzy because I only watched it once.

Wait… really? How have I totally forgotten about this???

Yeah… this… might actually be a good strategy at this point.

Yep, same here. I went to MX after starting with Ubuntu. Now I’m a Debian guy.

Go on…

Mage, I guess?

But my favorite D&D character I ever played was a Bard. I wasn’t really the talkative, persuasive type. I was more the jack-of-all-trades, Swiss Army knife of the party. I loved it.

What are you supposed to put coffee in during the 23rd century?

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you.

Ok… I’m not shocked at all.

Yeah, that’s also my question. Partially because I am a former-lawyer-turned-software-developer… but, yeah. How are the kernel maintainers supposed to evaluate whether a particular PR contains non-GPL code?

Granted, this was potentially an issue before LLMs too, but nowhere near the scale it will be now.

(In the interests of full disclosure, my legal career had nothing to do with IP law or software licensing - I did public interest law).

The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.

Slowly reaches for shotgun…

The real question is…. WHY DOES AZURE DEVOPS STILL EXIST?!?!?

I love doing that…

Edit - To be clear, since my reply got some upvotes, I meant that I enjoy being the senior developer diving into the legacy code. I actually really like it!

This is an example of the old adage that “When you use a regex to solve a problem, you end up with two problems.”

This happens all the time with TypeScript. The transpiled JS that actually runs will naturally have different line numbers than the TS you wrote!

To be fair, the reported line number is usually close enough that I can find the issue without much trouble.

It’s not my favorite back end language, but it’s what everyone on my team knows…

You want the monitor to be firm, but give a little in your hands when you squeeze. Too much squish though? That’s no good. That monitor is overripe.

Surely I can’t be the first person to point out that Data is not the “driver” in the sense that he is not at the helm, right? Right???

Data is at Ops - the closest thing the TNG show had to a science station - because he was the Spock-analog.

Basically what I’m saying is that Geordi/Wesley/Ro/unnamed officer (depending on the season/episode) gets to pick the music, not Data!

Isn’t test driven development also error driven development though?
