annoyance, trying my luck here in the fediverse.

My `~/.gitconfig` includes another config file which specifies `core.filemode=false`.

But every time I clone a repository, a config file gets generated in the project's `.git/config` path which overrides the value to true.

I can't seem to find out where these defaults come from and how to fix it.
I've also tried adding the config to the system-wide `/etc/gitconfig` file but still no luck.

As takes over, tools like ChatGPT will be generating more and more code without any quality assurance in place. I firmly believe tools like codewarden.ai are very important to add to your tool chain. Basically, AI peer reviewing itself, you need to take a look at this thing.

My own approach to candidates in recent years has been giving them a real world skeleton class. It's meant to simulate real day to day work, which to be honest, is pretty easy and boring. The goal isn't to test skills, it's really to understand how a person communicates. Unless you're a real outlier, most people improve at any given skill if they do it every day, so accepting good dev skills and great communication is more valuable to me.

A great podcast episode. Jodie Burchell helps explain the directions between software developers and data scientists. Both professions have overlapping tools, like Python, but use them to achieve different goals.

Every time I code software, I think of this brilliant scene by Stanley Tucci from a dumb transformers movie (start at 16s):
youtu.be/yNJbAJcVCGc

"Simple coding...
Algorithms!
Math!
Why can't we make...
What we want to make...
The way we want to make it?!
Why?!?!"

I think of it doubly so when I'm trying to wrangle machine learning into consistent practical applications.

Thank Zeus the "sprint" tracking meeting is over. I am "glad" to find out we are 61% done with our tickets - phew! Of course, that number just means we have "charged" 61% of the hours "estimated" in each ticket. And if you think that's how close we are to finishing, I have a bridge somewhere around here you can buy.

The release cycles in are so long, I barely remember what we are deploying because I designed it over a year ago. Today as we deploy, I’m currently thinking about what we need to be doing in 2025, because what we are doing in 2024 is already well underway. That said, happy today’s release went well. 🙂

Looking for an offline java compiler/IDE to run on an old Samsung tablet (Android). JStudio looks useful. Any other recommendations?

As a long term professional software developer, I have a healthy scepticism for the capabilities of the new waves of AI systems (if you know how the sausage is made, etc ..)

But if there is one domain they are perfect for - albeit very niche - it's generating regular expression patterns from natural language descriptions of the intended match.

They're explicit, not open to interpretation (unlike, apparently, the explicit laws of cricket) and immediately verifiable.

even gives a little explanation of the generated expression. Although it could turn down the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation perkiness a bit!

hallo! I'm a software dev at a bank based in Regina SK with degrees in CS (my thesis was on ESG portfolio optimization using genetic algos) and propaganda film analysis (my thesis was on food representation in DPRK state sponsored media). I also used to play bass in a bunch of really awful bands and I love to cook

you can ask me anything about any of those things ~!
