One coworker -- who I'll call Xavier -- does everything through LLMs. He's the kind of developer that managers who have never been programmers _adore_ : 3000 lines of code per day.
I just realized that Xavier cannot read code, even code that he submits for review. He "understands" code by […]

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.

Ask "stupid questions" where your juniors can see you asking them and getting answers from other people. Don't make juniors feel alone in not knowing something and being the only ones asking for help.
