Ahoy! I'm Morris, I work as a senior service delivery engineer at GitHub.

Previously, I consulted as a platform engineer at LEGO, served as a technical design lead at British Airways, worked as a software engineer at Vitsœ, and later as a platform engineer at Tumelo.

I live in Mid Wales with my two orange cats, David and Norman.

I've spent some time thinking about it, and I respectfully disagree.

I don't think a `--sort` flag is a failure of composability, the producer understands image size semantics better than the sort command, you can either bake everything into sort, making it an all encompassing command or you can simplify the previous step with a sort flag.

Your original powershell command is way more verbose and complicated, and maybe that's the price to pay for composability, but I'd rather just use the `--sort` flag and not spend hours or days coming up with some other undocumented and undiscovered way of doing it, the answer is right there ready to be used.

I think my point is that it's a violation of the UNIX principle of doing one thing really well, but I don't think that is a violation of composability.

I tried running a simple security review on a Terraform module I made and after some thinking, it responded:

● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

Blocked? We are performing a defensive security review on a Terraform module I made, what's blocked by content filtering? This is a legitimate use-case.

● The model returned no content because the response was blocked by content filtering.

A waste of money. I'm not going to just hope that the model returns a response, I'm already for paying for wrong responses, I'm not going to pay for no response, especially when I'm paying per token.

I'll never forget the disgust amongst me and my friends when we found out that American television had replaced Attenborough's documentary voice with Oprah fucking Winfrey. Cultural vandalism.

I'm saying people at NASA may want to skew the results for Space Force, not Trump.

I think it's called NASA Force to screw with the search results for Space Force, similar to Boris Johnson saying his hobby was building toy buses, in order to try and reduce the relevancy of the Brexit bus.

If it was a joke (the test suite issue), then it was a really shit joke. It reads more like backtracking, I don't think _you_ should feel any embarrassment.

…and more from Backdrop.

    Hi Daniel, I found your GitHub profile while searching for anthropic projects, and got your email from your profile.

    I'm part of an online program for builders called Backdrop Build, and I think that program would be a great fit given what you are building. We have a track for builders in AI like you, it's fully online/remote and costs nothing to participate. It also works if you have a day job, it's light on time and perfect for side projects!
And then another after I marked the first one as spam and ignored it.
    Checking in one last time to see if you have any questions about the program or the application. If it's not for you, all good - just ignore the email because I won't be pinging you again :)

Both companies have guaranteed that I won't use their services nor procure them for any organisation I work for.

I also had unsolicited spam from Vincent Jiang of Aden, another YC company.

    Hi Daniel,

    I just came across your profile on social media and wondered if you'd be interested in joining our Discord community for AI agent development. Currently, we see that agents break, loop, get lost, hallucinate, and cost a fortune, and therefore built a space where developers can share challenges and insights.

People with very little to no skill in software development are spending hundreds of dollars on tokens to fix things for clout, will an extra dollar barrier really slow things down noticeably?

JetBrains are shoving it down our throats though, I have to uninstall their AI plugin after every IDE update, CoPilot suddenly stopped working? Oh, it's because JetBrains has enabled their AI auto-completion feature and it's broken CoPilot.
