A lot of my power in my career as a software engineer has derived simply from ruthlessly testing my own shit.

Ideally you have all of this testing happening in specs, but manual testing is still better than just throwing shit over the wall to someone else.

* Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
* People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves

It is hard to grasp for some engineers early in their careers what took them here won't take them there. Shipping features will probably can take you to senior, shipping 10x more features is not how you'll become a principal.

I'm always surprised that nearly all religious liberty cases seem to focus on denying LGBTQ people things that most other people can get: a website designed, a cake baked, a job offered. Moreover, few cases focus on far more basic religious beliefs that could be offended. Viz....
