GitHub appears to have opted anyone using the CLI into sending telemetry they will use to inform product decisions. This is sneaky and should have been an opt-in decision, not opt-out. Disable it with `gh config set telemetry disabled`. cli.github.com/telemetry

Made very few changes to the latest build and was thinking maybe I'll be able to ship this one without incrementing the shame version (last number in a version number) and 2 minutes into testing, it's already getting bumped.
A graphic showing "Pride Versioning" where the first number is the Proud Version. Then second is the Default Version. And the last number is the Shame Version.

I recorded an episode of the Marco Show with Marco Behler from JetBrains. It was an absolute pleasure, thanks for having me. We talked about a lot: how I ended up on the Spring team, Project Leyden, GraalVM, AI, and so much more. Also available as a podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUFs...

AI pretending to be customer support is a pretty miserable experience. I don't need something pretending to be human regurgitating the FAQ page. It must also put a strain on the real support staff who now only get customers who are already angry from fighting a robot!

It seems to be "hate on Lombok time of the year" and "what has Lombok ever done for us"… I am tired. - Just don't use it if u think it stinks - Don't use it as library author so that you don't force it onto others - Use it the hell you want in your enterprise application, nobody cares about anyway
