What do you think the `tools/call` MCP flow is between the LLM and an MCP server? For example, if I had the GitHub MCP server configured on Claude Code and prompted "Show me the most recent pull requests on the torvalds/linux repository".
Look there are two options on the table so it's 50/50. Ipso facto.
I don't see any blame assigned in the previous comment.
Aye aye aye I got more and more confused reading this wondering how this was going to relate to the Elves.
Sure. In terms of steps taken it's not particularly different though. Stash at the start and pop at the end vs commit at the start and reset at the end, right?
I mean, if it's not a problem to do that (and I don't find either option a problem personally) then fine, but it doesn't seem like it's a "better" option except in some small cases (like forgetting you stashed).
I don't particularly care either way but how is that meaningfully different from option 2? You need to do something with your WIP in either case before switching to the new branch.
I think some of your job posts still say Terraform by the way, which I think maybe was an old name for the company?
At my primary school there were twin boys, with 3 older brothers, 1 younger and no other siblings so they were damn close!
In the Netherlands, for the 8 days after you give birth, someone comes to your house for some number of hours per day (in our case 8) to teach you these things, maybe do some tidying and cooking but most importantly, take the baby so you can sleep! This is called kraamzorg.
It also has some similar pitfalls, as they are not necessarily specialists and it's still hard to disagree or do something else even if in your own home in the face of the supposed expert.
Less Pivotal and more VMWare post acquisition dismantling I'd say. There was a lot of love internally for Concourse (I left before the acquisition though).
SSH debugging and one off tasks absolutely dreamy.
Vito is at dagger.io now so hopefully we can expect some good stuff in the CI space there.
I was one of the lucky 2,000 players to receive 500,000 neopoints as part of the billion neopoints giveaway in 2000. I was 11 and some time later gave my password away to someone claiming they would make me a moderator so you know... important lessons were learnt.
I had an interview for a large well-known bank software internship maybe 15 years ago. One interview was a role-play in which I was attending a meeting in lieu of my boss with someone from another division of the bank to discuss a behind-schedule project.
Role-play starts and this guy storms in, slams the door and starts shouting about how the software department are useless and how are we going to proceed. At one point he yelled that without his department we wouldn't have money to keep the lights on.
In retrospect, I'm sure this was a lot of fun for him and it might have been a good filter but I also am more than happy that I did not proceed to the next round if this is what they wanted to show me about their culture.
Just in support of your position, the Google Style Guide says the following:
If a function returns an error, callers must treat all non-error return values as unspecified unless explicitly documented otherwise
It is absolutely not idiomatic to give any meaning to non-error values under error conditions in the usual case. That is extremely unusual and would be generally confusing.

A few years ago I realised I left my laptop in the car some distance away in London. I hadn't skated for maybe a decade but my roommate had a skateboard. I texted him telling him I was taking it and was going to do "so many kickflips". Next text was from the hospital with bruised / cracked after I caught a lip and supermanned the pavement.
I _think_ the color changing implementation could result in the dvd logo changing color when the window is resized. That may be fine of course but I'm just curious what you would do to avoid that, if it were required not to.
Some interesting approaches that companies are taking around this are described in Matt Parker's book, "A Radical Enterprise" for example, companies being made up of many microenterprises.
Once you can break away from many traditional imaginations of what a business is and how it should run there are some interesting possibilities.
Very challenging and easy to get wrong though I'd guess.

Otherwise it's just sparkling government overthrow.
Neat project. For what it's worth I want to poke around at it to discover "what kind of places might you recommend near me" to find out if I'm interested but I don't want to sign up without any sense of its value so I just closed the page.
In my opinion the series starting with https://medium.com/@teddyking/linux-namespaces-850489d3ccf is the gold standard for introducing namespaces.
Are you using "sprint pointing" to refer specifically to the kind of pointing that you might discover in Scrum, or generally the idea of story pointing?
For the latter, my experiences and expectations seem so different from yours that it's hard to know where to start. I haven't experienced much full on Scrum to disagree.
Agile isn't about requirements in the sense of "all behaviour of this project must be specified up front" but that doesn't mean for small slices of validated or to be validated behaviour we can't say "this is what it should do" (otherwise nothing sensible would ever get written?)
From that point of view, a developer has what they need to move forward with TDD (or any other process of their choosing).
I believe they are maintainers of the dependencies that GitHub uses.
In the Netherlands I have been repeatedly told I should get my wisdom teeth out despite no complaints.
Just for my own clarification, this is true as long as they don't also ship their server as a compiled binary right? If these servers were to distribute their programs they would have to release the source as GPL as well, right?
You can be right without the other person being wrong if you aren't addressing something they said.
Can you talk a little bit more about tactic vs strategic development?
What do you find ridiculous about doing the simplest thing to make a test go green first?

I agree. I would be extremely surprised and look for refactoring opportunities if I came across a function that returned a success case that was expected to be used in combination with an error value.
If anyone has an example of this being a pattern used somewhere that they think is good I'd love for them to share it.
