What do you mean? It implements the Future/Task interface and you can definitely use that. In fact you can’t tell the difference from a virtual thread vs a platform one, and it’s available everywhere. I for one thinks it’s much easier to use than the async/await pattern as I don’t need any special syntax to use it.

My rough understanding is that this is similar to async/await in .NET?

The biggest difference is that C# async/await code is rewritten by the compiler to be able to be async. This means that you see artifacts in the stack that weren’t there when you wrote the code.

There are no rewrites with virtual threads and the code is presented on the stack just as you write it.

They solve the same problem but in very different ways.

When talking to LLMs their responses are always a bit off. The best way I can describe it, it’s like they are speaking a specific dialect but you know they are using expressions that wouldn’t be used in that dialect. Or, it’s like they are way over their head in the specific matter and reiterate things they really don’t understand. Like there’s no substance in what they are saying.

And if they do this for a simple or a matter that you know of, how can you trust their answers in a matter if you can’t evaluate their answer?

It doesn’t get better when they are totally mixing things up but say it with certainty, instead of just saying that they don’t know or admit that they have gaps in what they know. They don’t just get it wrong like humans do, it’s just weirdly wrong. Humans usually get it consistently wrong. Perhaps it’s about what they are not saying.

Would I always be able to tell it’s not a human I talk with, probably not. But chances are that I will know, the longer I talk to them.

Jira tries to solve everyone’s problem. It tries to incorporate everyone’s idea of how and what’s needed to be tracked.

I can just say from my own experience that the one that created the workflow and what fields that they absolutely must have to do some sort of follow up, have never worked as a developer or anything near a software project, and yet enforces all this garbage for their illusion of control. And yet they have none. Just because they are higher up in the hierarchy than the people that works with the actual product.

And then there is all these managers that think that everything should be a ticket and all changes can absolutely map to a ticket. Or that everything is actually done by the guy on the ticket.

I bet when I die and go to hell, my punishment will be to fill out Jira tickets and push them through the workflow.

Edit: formatting and spelling

My experience is that too many doesn’t even know what this problem actually is, and yet it exists in many places, but in different shapes.

We recently converted from Jenkins to GitHub Actions (complete rewrite) build pipeline. Jenkins had its issues and warts, but holy Beelzebub what a monster GitHub Actions is. It pure downright evil and creates all sort of headaches. Opaque, zero clues on what broke. Glacial slow even if you throw the biggest instance at it. It’s all enterprise and 1000s of repositories big company.

I’m spending more time finding bugs in the build pipeline than the time I spend doing other things. And it’s all GitHub actions fault. I hate it with a passion.
