My son informs me that Slack 'looks like a boomer discord'.

Ever Decreasing Circles is one of the greatest sitcoms ever made. I will die on that hill.

It would be very ironic if AI is the trigger for us, as an industry, to sort out documentation and useful error messages.

We couldn't do it for ourselves, but now that there's a measurable token cost, we are encouraged by management to do it properly.

Just published a post: 'Reinventing the Wheel, Now At A Bargain Price!'

It tries to answer the question: has the rising cost of using third party libraries, and the lower cost of cutting code, changed the economics of writing your own libraries?

Enjoy!
