The fire at Notre Dame cathedral in 2019 was first discovered by a security guard. .. the fire might have been quickly extinguished, saving $760 million in damages. By the Pino logic, it would be perfectly reasonable to pay the security guard a share of the savings, say $76 million, or 10 percent.

In Sweden there is a law that says that if you’ve been waiting for an answer from the administration for more than six months (for instance when applying for citizenship), you can send them a “request to conclude”, forcing them to process and answer within four weeks.

L'Ifop a additionné les 15% des sondé·es ayant répondu positivement et les 31% ayant répondu « on peut l'adapter aux règles du pays » (manifestant ainsi plutôt une volonté de respecter les lois de la république). Cela donne un 46% artificiel, choquant, et que quasiment personne n'est allé vérifier.

I often here that LLMs are great for writing tests, but I’m not fully on board with that. It’s very easy to miss cases when writing bigger test suite, or to write tests that are not correct (let’s not lie, we don’t always follow the red-green approach).

Strong advice! And I also found it efficient to focus and loop on the transitions between parts, those can feel less natural and might require some extra love.
Pro tip: if you’re giving a long conference talk or presentation and you dread run-throughs, you can just do them in chunks.
I give you permission 🙏
