Awesome post — particular love the evidence of, “the first actual bug” found in a system. ROFL. It’s a great article that gives an interesting historical view into debugging and (briefly) how we ended up where we are. Good explanations of shotgun debugging, assertions and less common test practices like fuzzing, time-travel debugging. Love the detail around Antithesis and what they are trying to do, the complexity of “historical” debugging (and having a solid evidence trail, facts about simple assumptions, like “timestamps are meaningless”). Really well written, thank you @Gergely Orosz!

Build your personal technology radar to manage your research, projects, and investigations. My own radar helps me stay focused, keeping my research in one place and my day-to-day work in another. At the end of the day, I close my browser. It’s part of my end-of-day work ritual, setting me up for success the following day. And it feels good. No clutter and pure focus on what I’m doing next.

“GitHub Copilot, is not here to replace our jobs. It's a co-pilot, … allowing us to focus on the bigger picture, the architecture, the interaction design, and the real-world problems.” – totally agree, Adrian (SnackableCTO). What’s more it can be an accelerator if we use it judiciously. But also carefully. What scares me is hearing juniors using it to replace their own coding or companies thinking AI (LLMs really) can do the job. Apple tells us LLMs cannot reason, cannot think, cannot solve complex problems (for more: https://bit.ly/4fs6DFA). All prerequisites for building reliable software. AIs are not coming for our jobs. 🤣 Which is why we need to focus on fundamentals: think for ourselves, learn architecture and programming and how to design complex systems. Great advice from Adrian's article.

Excellent article from GREGOR OJSTERSEK. “Anyone can make a subject complicated but only someone who understands it can make it simple.” (Richard Feynman) You’re right, Gregor, simplicity is hard — but it’s “worth its weight in gold.” Great article. It’s hard to value what you don’t see. All that effort (of making something simple) translates into reduced effort, lesser barriers to understanding, lower maintenance cost… in other words, you work hard to take away all that visible evidence. So why do it? Because not many engineers try hard enough. So stand out from the crowd, deliver a better product, be exceptional. That excellence will shine through.
