I found a very nice use-case for Copilot agent: make a map of code for high level view of the engine.

Now I can look at this and think about any optimizations or refactors. Remember, this is a pure assembly code base!

What could possibly go wrong? #DOGE to rapidly rebuild #SocialSecurity #codebase.

Under any circumstances, a migration of this size and scale would be a massive undertaking, experts tell WIRED, but the expedited deadline runs the risk of obstructing payments to the more than 65 million people in the US currently receiving Social Security benefits.

What a bunch of morons...

#DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA #Codebase in Months, #Risking Benefits and System #Collapse

"Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in #COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Musk pointed to data he allegedly pulled from the system that showed 150-year-olds in the US were receiving benefits, something that isn’t actually happening..."

“If you've ever maintained the same piece of software for more than a couple years, you'll understand how hard it is to pivot already-finished #tools to learn from #ParadigmShifts in the industry. Even if you try your hardest, it's very easy for the old way of doing things to be woven throughout your #codebase as assumptions.

As #JessFrazlle mentioned in her first post, this is why most #CAD software is not extensible. Most of them have assumptions about software that were true in 1990 but aren't anymore: that the #internet doesn't exist; that #GPUs don't exist; that clicking is easier than typing for most user interactions”

#software / #engineering / #API <https://zoo.dev/blog/api-first-approach>

Over the weekend I started #prototyping an idea for #visualization and exploration of a large #codebase. This is an early idea built around visualizing a project's #git tree and associated code in a browser.

The initial prototype will focus on #python code. The image shows an exploration of the #Flask framework. (I needed an example of reasonable size to play with. The project is not specific to flask)

PHPStan 2.0 Released: Enhanced Analysis and New Features

After three years of development, #PHPStan 2.0 is now available, introducing over 180 improvements to #StaticAnalysis for #PHP developers.

Highlights:

Level 10 Analysis

Provides stricter checks by treating all mixed types strictly.
Helps catch more potential issues in your #Codebase by enforcing stricter #TypeSafety.
List Type Support

Introduces the list type for arrays with sequential integer keys starting at 0.
Enhances #TypeSafety and clarity when working with lists in #PHP.
Lower Memory Consumption

Optimizations reduce memory usage by 50–70%.
Leads to faster #Performance and less strain on your system during analysis.
Validation of Inline @var Tags

#PHPStan now validates inline @var #PHPDoc tags against the native type of the assigned expression.
Helps maintain accurate type annotations and catch inconsistencies, improving #CodeQuality.
Reduced Caching and Disk Space Cleanup

Less reliance on caching without sacrificing performance.
Frees up disk space by cleaning up old cache items, aiding in #DiskSpaceManagement.
For a detailed list of changes and a step-by-step upgrade guide, read the full release notes.
