Average _per review_? Insane costs, that's potentially thousands per developer. Am I missing something?

I haven't used it so just spit balling, but surely it depends on the quality of the review? If it picks up lots of issues and prevents downtime then it could work out as worthwhile. What would it cost an engineer with deep knowledge of the codebase to do a similar job? You could spend an hour really digging into a PR, poking around, testing stuff out etc. Im guessing most engineers are paid more than $15-25/hr, not to mention the opportunity cost.

Now imagine what it will be when they actually need to make money

This slop so annoying to see, and tiring – but worth it here – to call out.

Drop the "test". Just "stress" – it's cleaner.

Thank you, ChatGPT

An echo of Popcorn Time can he heard bouncing around the software cathedral… The takedown notices will start coming in if CineCLI is too easy to use! Though looks like it doesn't play anything itself – _might_ be safe

RIP Popcorn Time. It was fucking amazing.

Is it actually gone? I found official looking sites on a quick Google.

could we not bring back popcorn time if it goes over to decentralized github : https://radicle.xyz/

its strange how we can't just build software that then works for ever. The emulation boys got something going but netowkred software unlikley

Halfway the this post, I realized checking the HN front page was merely a thin desire – so I'm off to read a book. Farewell!

Like relationships I don't think it's either/or but rather prioritize. Make the book a priority, and make sure you do it, then go ahead and read/comment on HN. The extra knowledge/perspectives/experiences will make your contributions more valuable for everyone.

Just thought this as i glanced your post. See you later!

I have bad news for you - you're not even just "checking" HN, you're simulating social interaction by writing comments for no one in particular.

jokes on you I read this and am replying. But yeah it is an unhealthy way to scratch the itch.

Is there a better way to achieve engineering excellence?

Oh, welp - now here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45236517

Digital Audio Workstation, which is a fancy name for a kind of app where you can make a song on your computer. Whether that's a recording of an instrument or voice, or a digital instrument playing from MIDI signal (piano, synth, anything), or recorded samples from various sources, you can put all that together however you want, including all sorts of effects (lotta plugins).

Sneaky and smooth! Reminds me so much of my side project from a couple years back: https://hubmeter.io/ – basically GitHub Detective that charts the events instead of showing them directly!

nice! looks cool.
