So someone let a bot edit a PR unsupervised, or accepted its suggestion without even reading it, and now blames “Copilot” for editing the PR. Going public with that is hilarious. Hopefully they learn something from it.

Regarding "to sound intelligent," I've recently begun distinguishing between two forms:

1) Saying something correctly but unnecessarily complicated - for example, when a project manager says, "We do not have financial resources for that," instead of simply, "We don't have money for that," when declining a team dinner (a CFO's report is another story).

2) Saying something incorrectly - for instance, "It is really flustrating."

I've started to dislike the latter more. The former involves people who at least use correct phrases, even if they're trying too hard to impress others. The latter indicates people who simply don't read.

Two joysticks ruled.

For more generic web indexing you need to use a browser. You do not index pages served by a server anymore, you index pages rendered by javascript apps in the browser. So as a part of the "fetch" stage I usually let parsing of title and other page metadata to a javascript script running inside the browser (using https://www.browserless.io/) and then as part of the "parse" phase I use cheerio to extract links and such. It is very tempting to do everything in the browser, but architecturally it does not belong there. So you need to find the balance that works best for you.

The versionings are not mutually exclusive. In our company we use calver, it is used mainly for planning and business purposes and works well. During the quarter or whatever period there can be multiple semantically versioned releases made. The only problematic is the YY format choice. Lots of people confuse 19.3 with March 19th in our country.
