Обсудил я с одним российским издательством возможность публикации Angry Tests на русском языке. Они согласились и перевести и опубликовать, однако, настаивают на публикации электронной версии тоже. Я пока отказываюсь, мотивируя тем, что книги свои никогда ранее электронными не делал — украдут ведь. Как посоветуете поступить?

Want to show your appreciation for my work? Today is the perfect day! The best gift you could give is a review of one of my books, posted on Amazon and/or GoodReads. Reviews help attract more readers and keep me motivated to write. Thanks in advance!

Every time I ask Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to write some code for me, they keep making very similar mistakes. Then, I have to provide a series of refinements for my request to make them understand that I, for example, don't appreciate "Manager" or "Controller" class names and my methods don't return NULL. I'm sick of repeating it over and over again. Here is a full-size prompt for them, to make them understand what elegant coding and testing truly are: yegor256/prompt. Feel free to reuse and contribute: we definitely need more rules into this list.

I put this text into the ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (not always helps, by the way).

You don’t need to watch the entire interview with Peter Thiel—a multi-billionaire, PayPal co-founder, Elon Musk’s friend, and Trump supporter—but this thought is important. He seems to believe that the human race must not endure “as is.” Our future selves should be able not only to swap penis for vagina, but to replace our entire bodies—and perhaps even our souls—with something completely different. WTF?!

I've just found an interesting document declassified by CIA a few years ago: Simple Sabotage Field Manual. The document was published in 1944. It was teaching people how to sabotage, in order to harm their companies. These instructions are brilliant:

Be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work. When possible, refer all matters to committees for "further study and consideration." Attempt to make the committees as large and bureaucratic as possible.

A more detailed analysis was published by Corporate Rebels. You may also watch me interviewing their co-founder in 2021: Pim de Moree.
