Extra to editing in IDEs and commit/push/pull. Stuff that's magically leveraging CPU/RAM elsewhere but feels collaborative with what you're doing re your tasked feature or bug.

Any Googler devs/QEs want to share what "extras" are available to the FUSE-mounted working copy on dev workstations and laptops?.

Key advances of RubyGems over Maven-Central and influence on following package managers: - collective understanding, I think, unless your too close to one particular language, build system and package manager.

Phantom touchpad/mouse taps. Does anyone else get them? There's always the allegation from others that you did, in fact, palm the touchpad. I just had one cursoring down some txt. Only finger on the kbd (the down-arrow in 'repeat' mode) . Cursor jumped up 10 rows as I watched!.

Hey @NotebookLM - it would be great if "Add sources" allowed:. 1. Paste-RICH-text.2. Pick Gmail (threads) by URL. 3. GoogleDocs docs by URL (we have thumbnails and list presently).

Caveat a question to ClaudeCode with "no need to puff my ego re _____ so tell me what you really think"

Stepping away from the "car doppler" React app, and back toward the credit card form and address of the original blog entry: the same test harness ideas for a MacOS app using #SwiftUI and #Appium (via node & JavaScript) to test automate it.

And hello NightWatchJS branch and experience :)

I may need to update if I have it wrong re the NetFlix way.

Google's way with Piper, was to do lockstep upgrades of libs (3rd party and in-house) while allowing independent releases of apps/services. Y'all doing an build-cloud alerting system ("upstream change to Xxxxx would break your build were you to upgrade that dep") is different.

Hey @NetflixEng mentions "We have started by issuing pull requests en masse to all Git repositories containing a consumer of a particular Java API. We’ve run some early experiments and expect to invest more in this area going forward." Did that stick?.

And a Selenium branch discussed for the same React app and same component-centric tests

Continuing the series - a Cypress branch of the same thing (Cypress instead of Playwright for component testing) ->

Oops .

Revisiting an previous "UI component testing" blog entry for a 2025 update with a React/TypeScript example. Also features a wildly inaccurate app that calculates car speeds based on mic-recorded doppler shift.

Watching Person of Interest again. Finch's AI, "TheMachine" is running Root around on some self survival agenda (long arc). As I watch, GoogleJules is telling me to make a branch in my local-repo from a hash, and to paste a chg into it, given it can't push for some reason.

The 1st was longer, but 2nd time shows the build tech can skip steps it doesn't need to do, even for a three-language situation. All this app does is print <M>(O)<N>(O)R(E)P(O)SR(U)L(E) to stdout. <M> and <N> are from Go, the vowels in ( ) are from Rust, and others from Java.

now contains a Go component/module too. Sure, it's gratuitous, but the two Java apps depend on Java, Rust and Go modules now. DAG build scripts in bash for education purposes (under 1 sec for second-time build of app with those three languages)
