Indeed, just the new nested record update syntax is huge. But there is so much more. Well worth watching the video.

I can definitely recommend Bart. Among other things he handled our integration and certification into SEPA (INST & SCT) as well as connectivity to numerous bespoke banking systems.

@bitfield Ah, no. It’s Grandmas cookie recipe that matters, not any given batch.

No code is sacred. It’s not the recipe that matters, but the cake.

@keppla @xaviation Regulations define a flight envelope, max speeds, maneuvers etc. For example non-aerobatic craft are required to be able safely up to 3g, something you might see pulling out of a dive. That gets translated into loads.

@xaviation Video of the test on the 777 wing. Breaks at 154% of max load ever to be expected. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai2Hmv…

@devlead @david_whitney RESTClient extension for VSCode is better in all ways - more transparent, request is just text - easier to translate to code - easier request chaining - simple text file you can commit - optional cURL syntax - free marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

@david_whitney I'm guess it'll be http files in vscode for many in the future🤔

Postman truly jumping the shark by disabling local only execution. Vastly overrated and misused tool, that takes an entire category of verification away from your codebase in a bad way. Never trust a tool that wants to take over your entire workflow. That's a walled garden.

@SoVeryBritish Must be a Canada Goose.

Good lord. Never seen a goose warning reach level 5 before.

@k_cieslak Indeed key skills will be understanding a new domain, being able to describe it in semi-formal terms and validation of generated output. A layer of drudgery is disappearing.

@_cartermp @k_cieslak My poorly made point is that even after the AI landslide buries current process the fundamental 3 step will remain: 1. figure out what is needed 2. describe that to a machine 3. ensure we got it right I've always believed in "programmers" doing 1 so am delighted to offload 2&3.

@dzoukr That is a great layout for entering a few digits and letters. Even as a touch typist I think I could peck out FG4 5K9 faster on it than on a QWERTY layout.

@AdamRackis Just use the RESTClient in VS Code marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

Uhhhh what happened to Postman? I just want to send, and inspect http requests? What is all this shit?

@_cartermp @k_cieslak Ok, but in that case what is that “abstract manner” if not a new kind of programming language. And the instrumentation sounds like tests. Fundamentally we are still describing what we want and then checking it is correct.

@k_cieslak Won’t the ability to quickly understand and vet the AI output become important?

@urbandata Also leads to larger parking lots.

More hospital charges too

Should large vehicles like SUVs be taxed at 100 times the rate of small cars?

@k_cieslak @GitHubNext Congratulations!

@ChShersh Still has the best tooling for debugging and refactoring.

The unexplainable urge to play with SmallTalk 😬 Even if it's old, it looks really different from modern mainstream programming languages and, in some ways, feels innovative. Does anyone have any experience? Any thoughts to share? pharo.org

@_cartermp Or as someone put it “the answer to the problem of 2 ton ICVs is not to replace them all with 2 ton EVs”.

Looking more like a boat!
