I was thinking the same thing. The word that I would be more inclined to use is used multiple times throughout the article. Discovery.

I would categorize these all as grunt work, but definitely not busywork or even a lack of business value. Improving SEO has direct business value. And the fact that it's unglamorous and laborious feels like a really good reason to have agents do it.
Re:Code duplication is far cheaper than the wrong abstraction
on Sunday June 21, 2026 @01:27PM (#48620769)
It sounds to me like you are describing a good abstraction. This article does not claim that code duplication is better than any abstraction. It claims that code duplication is better than the wrong abstraction. I'm sure this author would agree that a good abstraction is better than code duplication.

Don't get stuck in the either/or scenario. It's possible to be direct AND kind without being an asshole. Not giving someone critical feedback isn't kind, it's just being a coward. Giving someone critical feedback without regard to the human receiving it, is just lazy.

This title is misleading to what the article is actually talking about and judging by the responses, that was all that was read.
Re:Git Query Language
on Saturday February 03, 2024 @08:13AM (#39240056)
Isn't it's purpose merely to provide a way to query a git repo's commit history? It helps answer questions like "who has the most commits in the codebase?" and "what times of the day are commits most active?". I don't think it's meant to be anything more than that.
Re:US judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlines
on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @09:00PM (#39022193)
I find it amusing that in the same article it talks about how Spirit is struggling to turn a profit, and the reasoning for the justice department saying it a merger is anticompetitive is because it would remove the pressure that Spirit places upon the other airlines because of its lower prices.
Here's a thought. Maybe there's a reason Spirit is struggling to turn a profit. Maybe their prices are too low.
Sounds to me like the pressure from Spirit on the other airlines to lower prices won't last long anyway. If not a merger they probably can't survive as a business with their low prices.

They specifically say they will scrub any personal data before training the model. The title is disingenuous and misleading.
Re:Microsoft Is Eating the World
on Monday November 20, 2023 @11:43AM (#38350273)
This article seems to be coming from a perspective that Microsoft somehow poached Sam and team. After looking at the events of the weekend, it's clear to me that the OpenAI board is solely responsible for the events that conspired. I imagine the timeline of events will be studied in the future as an example of how not to fire your CEO.

Besides the obvious difference in execution engine which is explained in the link, I noticed the same thing and after doing some research, I found out that Temporal cofounder Samar Abbas was the creator of Amazon Flow Framework in 2009 and then the creator of the Azure Durable Task Framework in 2014, then moved on to Uber and co-created Candence with Maxim Fateev before they both eventually founded Temporal in 2019. https://www.temporal.io/about

This is getting interesting! Samar from Temporal was the creator of the Azure Durable Task Framework at Microsoft.

Seeing mentions of Temporal and Erlang. Got some research to do.

This deterministic execution pattern reminds me a lot of the approach with Azure Durable Functions and I know I've seen it in other places as well. Curious if anyone knows where that pattern originated.
Re:If You’ve Got a New Car, It’s a Data Privacy Nightmare

Yeah, that's interesting and it seems the report contradicts itself. They are indeed last on the list referenced, but when diving into their details for Tesla it says "So, how is Tesla at privacy? Well, they aren't the worst car company we reviewed"

The report specifically says Tesla is not the worst btw

Re:The IKEA Effect – Why managers fall in love with their own ideas

This is less of a critique and more of an additional thought to this study.
We tend to place higher value on things where we have at least a partial understanding of the creation process.
Thought. Are we also undervaluing things where we have no understanding of the process at which it was created?
Re:Will Bun JavaScript Take Node's Crown
on Sunday August 14, 2022 @09:20AM (#32459019)
We should also talk about why this is the case. JavascriptCore. The reason Bun is so fast is mostly due to the fact that it is using Apple's JavascriptCore and what all of the benchmark comparisons are really doing are comparing Google's V8 engine to Apple's JavascriptCore engine.
So basically, there will never be Windows support until JavascriptCore is able to be used on Windows and I'm not entirely sure on the state of that. My guess is that it has limited to no support for that scenario.

Really? Not sure you've been paying attention. That may have been true in the past and I'm not saying Apple isn't OSS friendly, but the sheer amount of Microsoft code on Github would beg to differ.
