When you make speed and “moving fast” the biggest priority on a project or in an organization, the first thing to breakdown is talking to each other. Talking takes time. Consensus is expensive and slow. In a pressurized environment there’s no time to schedule calls, get input from subject matter experts, or resolve key differences of opinion. ASAP makes a big assumption that all relevant parties are already in the room.

Article quoted from another one. With the following quote:

I ended 2007 with a blog post which I was told was quite widely read within Amazon: Amazon, Web Services, and Sesame Street. In that post, I complained about the problem of Eventual Consistency and argued for a marginally stronger model: Eventually Known Consistency, which still takes the "A" route out of the CAP theorem, but exposes enough internal state that users can also get "C" in the happy path.

(...) when you are typing at a prompt and waiting for each command to run, the shell is interactive; in the other case, when the shell is reading commands from a file, it is, consequently, non-interactive.

Interactive = has a prompt waiting to read commands from input, instead of reading from a file

(...) the programme that logs you in after you type your password (called, predictably, login), actually sticks a - in front of the name of the shell, which zsh recognises. The other way of making a shell a login shell is to run it yourself with the option -l; typing `zsh -l' will start a zsh that also thinks it's a login shell

So, if it looks like -zsh then it’s a login shell.

  if [[ -o login ]]; then
    print yes
  else
    print no
  fi

Keep as something to reuse next time I want to experiment with Go

I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

I do not want to let go, but I recognize the power of this pull. Feeling this for myself has only reinforced my belief that these models constitute an addictive substance. They alter cognition in ways deleterious to human prosperity. In other words, for as much output as they provide, they take something important from us.

Sounds like a deal with the devil to me
