As I switched my site builder to Clojure Texy! the CI build dropped by 1 minute. Most of the time is installation of PHP and Composer dependencies. But even the HTML generation is a few seconds faster. Now is time to replace Vercel-hosted Texy! Service for comments on my blog with the JS […]

All my blog articles are written in Texy! format - something like Markdown. All those years I was fighting with PHP as Texy! is a PHP library. Even though my site was historically .NET based and later Clojure generated, I always needed some way to host/run PHP. And it was PITA. So I spent some […]

It's sad because I have many support scripts written for the Deno runtime. The good thing is Node.js was pushed to implement many ideas from Deno meanwhile, so the migration should be relatively simple, as I managed to move most of my dependencies to JSR versions.

Abstract
We study the impacts of AI coding assistants and agents on software engineering work, using
a novel proprietary dataset from an engineering analytics platform, covering 300 million work
events — including GitHub coding activity, Jira issues, and Google Calendar events — across
718 firms. We use a staggered difference-in-differences design, exploiting variation in firm-
level adoption timing of AI coding assistants and agents. Both technologies increase coding
productivity. However, productivity gains do not fully pass through to changes in software output
or employment. For AI agents, this incomplete pass-through reflects a bottleneck from code
review: review times increase, a larger share of code updates require revisions, and reviews
involve more comments. We develop a model of software production to structure these results, in
which AI affects both productivity and quality of intermediate outputs, and in turn can generate
a review bottleneck and limit pass-through.

@bagder You cannot have a teams team named PRN, because each teams team also has an Office 365 space, and the space, hosted on a windows server, produces a directory for the space, named PRN-something, which was a reserved name in MS-DOS 40 years ago, and still is in current windows.

You can get macOS 27 with fewer accessibility issues right now; no need to wait till Monday. Just switch the update channel to Golden Gate Public Beta. Update to the final version that is already shipped there. After installation, disable the beta channel.
