I'm assuming it was hyperbole, not literal.

Out of curiosity, do you consider the sentence below to be a direct incitement to actionable violence?

"It would be patriotic if someone were to stop Person X from enacting their agenda, even if they used force."

If yes, what exactly qualifies it as a "direct incitement"?

Additionally, would you say it makes a difference whether the sentence above is said by Joe Shmoe vs televised and said by a powerful person with many followers hanging at their every word?

Are you complaining that older versions of Java don't have the features of newer versions of Java...?

FYI there's a fully playable unofficial port for Jak 1 and 2, and they're working on the 3rd one: https://opengoal.dev/

Is it possible that you just chose the wrong abstractions?

Comments should never be about what is being done. They should only ever be about why it is being done.

If you write your code like suggested in the book, you won't need to rely on possibly outdated comments to tell you what's going on.

Any comment about "what is being done" can be replaced with extracting the code in question to a separate, well-named method.

Are the petabytes of training data included in the repo? No? Then how could it ever be called open source?

At best, some of the current AI can be called freeware.

If you're just including the trained AI itself, it's more like including a binary, rather than source.

You can't really modify Llama in a significant way, can you? You can't fork it and continue improving that fork.

I'm fairly sure the crouch jump is part of the Half-Life 1 tutorial level.

I think that would depend on the skill of the developers and the resources they are given.

A lot of us are only ever taught to be code monkeys and those would probably not naturally gravitate towards true agile practices (which most, I would argue, have never actually seen in a real project).

Another problem is a lack of access to domain experts, which is also crucial.

However, my current project doesn't have any managers, or even business analysts, there's only the developers and the Product Owner. We have access to some domain experts and we work with them to build the right thing.

It's going great and the only problems we are facing are a lack of access to the right domain experts sometimes, as well as some mismanagement in the company around things we can't do ourselves (like the company Sonarqube not working and us not being allowed to host our own due to budget constraints).

In conclusion, I think part of the problem is educating software developers - what true agile is and what the industry best practices are (some mentioned in my previous comment). Then you give them full access to domain experts. Then you let them self-organize. Basically, make sure you have great devs, then follow the 12 Principles of the Agile Manifesto to the letter and you've got a recipe for success.

Otherwise, results may vary a bit, as I think many would tend to continue doing the Fake Agile they were taught and continue producing the poor quality, untested code they were taught to produce.

On the one hand, mutation testing is an important concept that more people should know about and use.

On the other, I fail to see how AI is helpful here, as mutation testing is an issue completely solvable by algorithms.

The need to use external LLMs like OpenAI is also a big no from me.

I think I'll stick to Pitest for my Java code.
