In #Ruby, the HTTP class is called Net::HTTP and is required with `require 'net/http'`
I'm curious if there were other `net/???` classes in the past? Did they go away? What else could/should be in `net/…`?
This change of framing doesn't magically erase any of the concerns, problems, trade offs of these things in our industry
But IMO, it would result conversation about this moment
IMO, the framing of an LLM/agent as a "junior" developer is wrong
A more accurate framing is a developer brand new to a team/project with no historical context or experience *in this project*. And only a short term memory
Because frankly, some LLM/agent generated code is well above "junior" level

XCode and Panic (following XCode's lead) uses ⇧⌘O (Shift+Command+O) for "Open Quickly" (their fuzzy file finder)
AFAIK, thanks to VS Code. For XCode and Panic (following XCode'sd ⌘T for the file fuzzy finder.
TextMate, Sublime, Atom (?)
Not to mention ⌘P becoming the default fuzzy find for a file in the [P]roject. 😡
What's the deal with text editors/IDEs not having a way to print?

If I could see things in my mind, I imagine that I'd see Schoolhouse Rock!/Ratatouille animation animation to the sound of that lyric.
🎶 So, people think you're funny?
How do we get those people's money? 🎶
The shape and scansion of that lyric does it for me!
Very audio stim. (2:02)

Forever somehow equals "up to 1 month"

Gods I love Ruby:

def free? = trial? || demo?
def billable? = !free?
We could/would:
1. create a temp free account in our system for you
2. setup your integration with you (screenshare)
3. run a sync job
4. rinse and repeat, if bugs
5. delete all of your imported employee data and your temp account, after beta testing

*Beta testers wanted*
Do you use ADP, Paycom, Workday, UKG, Oracle Taleo?
On a client project with integration from user's HRIS system to bulk import employees
I've tested lots with sandbox synthetic data, but not a real org's real world integration.
Could you beta test it with me?
Command-R in my text editor is: toggle the [R]ight sidebar of tools
Command-R in Slack is: refresh the world (just like a web browser)
Command-. in Slack is: hide the right sidebar (thread/profile/etc)

…the number of times I refresh Slack instead of hiding sidebar 😡
#lazyweb naming advice— a home server; vision statement is roughly… what the HomePod should've been
indieweb values, own all of your data, self host your services, private on local network by default, optional public sharing/hosting, access control, peer to peer messaging (LoRa), …
name ideas?
Brace yourself. It’s really beautiful. I’ll let image search lead you.

For non-programmer friends, `NaN` means "not a number"
Soooo many things that people want "agents" to do or are marketing agents as being able to do, could just be a script.
And optionally a cron job for scheduled or recurring.

Jokes aside. I do agree. I think this could/should exist. And I'm entirely not the right person to make it. 😬
That's how easy it is to trick our simple monkey brains with sycophantic flattery! 🙈 🙃 It's no wonder that people get so sucked into these things
What are we calling the "gas pedal" in EVs?
#Skeuomorphism
You're absolutely right. That's a great idea and really fun project! This *needs* to exist. If you want, I can write a comprehensive plan to research, implement, and test your idea. Do you have any other requirements for it? Should I start building? This will be fun—maybe you'll win an award.

Certainly possible. This was a website I was using, not building myself. So I can't know, of course. But certainly possible. More and more so every year.
