QA obviously is a problem getting in the way

Tbf, QA being seen as a problem slowing things down is nothing new in development. AI just gives it a new impulse.

The same thing is happening in my work. Just as we got the higher ups convinced that yes, having QA is very valuable, we get called the bottleneck again because dev is supposedly speeding up due to AI (according to dubious metrics).

Many people shit on the EU as if it’s undemocratic, but it’s always the national govs of member states pushing for this kind of shit. It’s usually the EP that puts a stop to it.

Oh for sure, but it’d be a shame to not watch such a classic imo. It ends unfinished, but it doesn’t leave with any cliffhangers or anything.

For spice & wolf, the original is still great too

I so wish for a new season of Land of the Lustrous. It’s so good and so pretty

I don’t think that means Bocchi is a blueprint for anything.

As good as it is, I don’t see how Bocchi the Rock is a blueprint for girls band anime tbh. For one, it’s too recent to even tell and it’s not like there are newer girls band anime trying to follow Bocchi’s formula.

I also don’t think that it’s doing anything new to even function as a blueprint. K-On would be much closer.

Same for AoT.

It has a similarish vibe, but it’s way more out there

“Let me google that” no longer is actually searching for an actual article sadly (even if only the 1st), but just parroting whatever its LLM vomits out.

I wanted to watch Reincarnated as a Sword S2 (aka Sword Dad), but when I started I realized I didn’t remember anything from S1. I watched some reviews and read some recaps but for so many things I just drew a blank. Guess it’s time to rewatch S1.

Otherwise, Apothecary Diaries is getting into its stride again and I love it. Ramparts of Ice S2 is great too. I love how it’s more or less the opposite of You And I Are Polar Opposites in how the relationships work out.

Man, I did not like season 3 and its ending when it came out. The whole thing was so wishy-washy, convoluted and non-sensical at times. Such a shame, because I loved S1 and 2

I didn’t mention that, because that’s in the title

For those who don’t speak Dutch, some more details:

• driver was under the influence of drugs (cannabis), 4x the allowed amount
• driver did not maintain proper distance from the cyclist.
• the court and/or prosecutors were way too slow in collecting information and actually sending that information, leading to the driving under influence part to expire and thus no longer be able to be prosecuted. They also missed the deadline for getting/providing a report from a traffic expert.

This is quite a fucked up situation. The justice system failed them and then the gall of the driver to then sue thèm is quite… something.

A group of 31 men seems way too small to make statements like this, no?

Following Renault in reviving classic designs. I dig this trend
