I’m rewriting our integration test suite to run tests in parallel. I have the changes split across 7 branches, and each needs to be fixed to have no flaky tests. I told it I want 3 consecutive CI runs with no flakes and no artificial fixes / assert removals etc. We’ll see what comes out; it’s almost a side project so there’s not much to lose other than some of my weekly limit that resets soon.

Basically the entire token-maxxing AI hype train in a nutshell. Lovely!

wdym? Nobody's paying me or rewarding me for using these tokens. I had some spare in my subscription limit (we're not on token pricing), so I decided to try an ambitious task that may reduce our CI times and improve our DX significantly. That's hardly "the entire token-maxxing AI hype train in a nutshell".
I’m curious when folks will tire of lighting money on fire. Companies are already starting to scale back a bit, but the AI companies are still nowhere near profitability.
