Called it - just got this today:

Tweet Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

4343111 here… Usenet was great.

You know what was great about social media in the 90s? It was free and ad-free and wasn’t being abused by billionaires.

The hardware question is a big one for me as well

GREAT new resource from us:

You can now flip through the financial disclosures of Trump officials.

See what they own --and how much they're worth.

See who's worked where-- and how much they banked.

Want the folks connected to Palintir? Please enjoy.

Nice, some interesting tools here I need to try at home...

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

yesterday claude assured me a config change was only for the current session, but it had actually updated the persistent user-level config. you can't even trust that it knows how it's own shit works but they've got it suggesting bombing coordinates

We have learned - the hard way - how launching a reckless war of choice with no clear endgame can put Americans in greater danger.

I like the RICE acronym for prioritizing projects to consider taking on within an organization:

Reach
Impact
Confidence

multiplied together these are the "benefits"

and
Effort

which is the "cost"

Now you have a simple formula:

RIC
----
E

which is literally your cost/benefit ratio (inverted)

I've gone this route with my own blog as well. Very happy with Hugo over Gatsby for the speed of builds alone.

And just like that, Trump’s illegal assault on Big Law dies w/a whimper not a bang. Those who fought prevailed, while those who bent the knee still have his foot on their neck AND our collective disgust.

It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that the first/most prominent kneeler was an Epstein guy…

Just using ADRs and making sure your coding agents review them would solve the per project memory issues right?

Ok so when you say you have 6 projects it’s not like you’re relying on 6 squad members, one each. Or do you mean projects within a large repo (e.g. features)?

That’s the part that confused me I think, was the mention of juggling different projects…

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

So squad lives outside of a given project? Outside of a single source repository?
