I have to question the decision that the @SonarQube extension for Visual Studio made to display a modal popup about SonarQube errors on every build. E.g., before each test runs is made. Does anyone _not_ turn that off?

If your app can't work without a package, API, database, identity provider, or cloud service, that's part of your architecture.
Even if it isn't on the diagram.
Know who owns it, how it fails, and what happens when it changes.

Saving a new file in Microsoft @Office with multiple @onedrive accounts has no way of differentiating which account it will save to:

When your team doesn't understand the code that they've accepted in a pull request, is there a point to doing pull requests? With little point to pull requests, why have revision control? If you trust AI, why not trust it to "revert" and be done with revision control?
I noticed rant about how airports don't have "tarmac" anymore. He wasn't wrong, it's obsolete. But it really ignores how English speakers/writers evolve words by usage not just by definition. Like "dialing" and "hanging up" a phone, and "carbon copy". Know of any others?

With AI, it’s tempting to create big tickets because AI can handle big tasks, and it generates code so quickly.
But the benefits of small, focused tickets remain relevant in the AI era.
- Get feedback quicker.
- Avoids context bloat / compacting.
- Less chance of spending a bunch of time going in the wrong direction.
- Leads to small PRs, which are easier to review.
- I’m more likely to understand a small ticket, and to notice gaps, inconsistencies, and logical issues in the requirements.
- Small tickets lead to smaller releases, which reduces risk.

It is what the AI marketing says it can do. It will be interesting how this plays out: great software or not, legal or not.
