> But there are obviously work around solutions in the Go ecosystem. It uses the Context ctx, which we pass around functions in order to juggle data around in the application.
Man. This works. The context API allows/enables it. But I’d really recommend against passing data to functions via context. The biggest selling point of Go to me is that I can usually just look at anyone’s code and know what it’s doing, but this breaks down when data is hidden inside a context. Dependency injection is entirely possible without using the context package at all, interfaces are great for it.

Does Uber still use Docstore? I'd imagine having built an effectively custom DB on top of MySQL made this upgrade somewhat inconsequential for most apps.
Yes

I wish there's a standard for short UUID, like `73WakrfVbNJBaAmhQtEeDv` or `bK7nP9xM`. I mean, it's not UUID cause it can be duplicated somewhere, I just want an ID standart combination of random and short enough to remember.
Git uses SHA and then dynamically set the number of characters to use based on repository size. You could do something like this.

> Microsoft says 2009 law made cloudstrife outage happen
Or, an alternative interpretation: Microsoft had 15 years to fix any issues.
You can’t “fix issues” if the software is running at the kernel level

Do the swe/people actually doing the implementation of this really think llms are ready to be used like this and won't just piss off and turn people against "ai"
What chat gpt did was interesting, in hindsight I think it was a mistake calling it ai.
At least google will still walk back on things when they truly suck. Recent example is where they replaced the default Shopping, Images, Videos tabs when you search for something with autogenerated suggestions. It was awful. But, even though it took them a few months, that entire change seems to be reverted.

Work is equivalent to worth. We are not biologically or sociologically prepared to differentiate the two.
Plus, like, isn’t that kinda depressing? What are disabled people “worth”? If I choose to be an unpopular niche artist, am I “worth” less?
There is worth in the spiritual sense in that all living things are worthy and all of man are created as equals.
There is worth in a sociological sense in that a disabled person may be a positive contributor to the society in one way, but because of their disability cannot be in another. Similarly a niche artist is a positive contributor in their niche, where an unpopular artist indicates they may be considered less of a contributor than others.
In the sociological sense I would argue yes it is possible to compare “worth”.
I use AI as a smart auto complete - I’ve tried multiple tools on multiple models and I still _regularlt_ have it dump absolute nonsense into my editor - in thr best case it’s gone on a tangent, but in the most common case it’s assumed something (often times directly contradicting what I’ve asked it to do), gone with it, and lost the plot along the way. Of course when I correct it it says “you’re right, X doesn’t exist so we need to do X”…
Has it made me faster? Yes. Had it changed engineering - not even close. There’s absolutely no world where I would trust what I’ve seen out of these tools to run in the real world even with supervision.
