I saw folk talking about this on LinkedIn earlier and some saying it was made up, it is not lol

Obviously this is total shite but it's making me wonder if it might be valuable to probe the idea that LLM assisted coding is an abstraction that uses natural language (English) as a high level language

I believe this new model in Claude Code is a glimpse of the future we're hurtling towards, maybe as soon as the first half of next year: software engineering is done.

Soon, we won't bother to check generated code, for the same reasons we don't check compiler output.

Hey all Vapor devs, I finally need to write some backend code and I need to know how the Vapor ecosystem is doing before I pick my technology. I need to write the Account system for the project I'm working on. how is the SPM ecosystem for Vapor? I am not expecting Ruby on Rails-level of communities, but it would be good to know if we have good auth packages, logging packages, etc..

During the UK Covid vaccine rollout, I would print blank NHS vaccination cards so I could get as many vaccinations as possible. I received 4789 different vaccinations, from all three major drug companies. I had to travel to different clinics, then different cities, and even to the other nations of the UK just to get more, because I would be getting recognised by NHS staff.

Fun stuff: VisiOn kernel has a memory-leak. Clicking the menu ~200 times in any app results in running out of memory, and eventually the system crashes. The easiest way to replicate the bug is to press "Esc" down (it will send the Escape key event over and over); it won't even do anything, just redraw the menu.

:D Please, don't let me fix a 42-year-old bug in an OS :D

Edit: it is a memory leak caused by the "display beeps as screen flashes" function :D

"memory nearly full, click SELECT, then quit some windows!"

TV news breakfast type shows are always so funny to me. you'll have the presenters talking about the benefits of eating four bananas a day or interviewing an actor on an upcoming movie while the chyron at the bottom is going ⚠️ POLICE EMPHASISE IMPORTANCE OF LOCKING DOORS AS FAMILY OF SIX MURDERED ⚠️

> Linux is still working better than it ever has in its history for gaming. And if more users grit their teeth through some of the initial learning pains we think that might mean that we can kind of escape from some of the Windows issues as a community and we'd count that as a win. Just know what you're getting into.

This is the biggest W for gaming since... ever. Well done
