has anyone tried using opentelemetry for local debugging instead of prod monitoring?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qw9d5u/has_anyone_tried_using_opentelemetry_for_local/
<!-- SC_OFF -->i've been going down this rabbit hole with ai coding agents lately. they're great for boilerplate but kinda fall apart when you ask them to debug something non-trivial. my theory is that it's not a reasoning problem, it's an input problem. the ai only sees static code, so it's just guessing about what's happening at runtime. which branch of an if/else ran? what was the value of that variable? it has no idea.this leads to this stupid loop where it suggests a fix, it's wrong, you tell it it's wrong, and it just guesses again, burning through your tokens.so i had this idea, what if you could just give the ai the runtime context? like a flight recorder for your code. and then i thought about opentelemetry. we all use it for distributed tracing in prod, but the core tech is just instrumenting code and collecting data.i've been messing around with it for local dev. i built this thing that uses a custom otel exporter to write all the trace data to an in-memory ring buffer. it's always on but has a tiny footprint since it just overwrites old data. When any bug is triggered, it freezes the buffer and snapshots the last few seconds of execution history—stack traces, variables, the whole deal.Then it injects that data directly into the ai agent's context through a local server. So now, instead of my manual console.log dance, you just copy the Agent Skill into your Agent and ask "hey, debug this" like you normally would . the results are kinda wild. instead of guessing, the ai can say "ok, according to the runtime trace, this variable was null on line 42, which caused the crash." it's way more effective.I packaged it up into a tool called Syncause and open-sourced the Agent Skill part to make it easier to use. it feels like a much better approach than just dumping more source code into the context window. i'm still working on it, it's only been like 5 days lol <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/NightRider06134 (https://www.reddit.com/user/NightRider06134)

Microsoft Has Killed Widgets Six Times. Here's Why They Keep Coming Back.

<!-- SC_OFF -->If you think Microsoft breaking Windows is a new thing - they've killed their own widget platform 6 times in 30 years. Each one died from a different spectacular failure. I dug through the full history from Active Desktop crashing explorer.exe in 1997 to the EU forcing a complete rebuild in 2024. The latest iteration might actually be done right - or might be killed by Microsoft's desire to shove ads and AI into every surface.

Why I am switching from Arch (Manjaro) to Debian

<!-- SC_OFF -->Arch is a rolling release distro with the latest release of each package always available. It has one of the largest no. of packages. However, as I grew from a tech enthusiast to a seasoned developer, I am starting to value stability over latest tech. Hence, I am planning to switch to Debian. Debian is the opposite of Arch. It does not have latest software, but it is stable. It does not break as much, and it is a one time setup. Which Linux distro do you use? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/access2content (https://www.reddit.com/user/access2content)

Testing Code When the Output Isn’t Predictable
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1qv5vsj/testing_code_when_the_output_isnt_predictable/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Your test passed. Run it again. Now, it fails. Run it five more times, and it passes four of them. Is that a bug? When an LLM becomes part of the unit you're testing, a single test run stops being meaningful. The same test, same input, different results. After a recent discussion my collegues, I think the question we should be asking isn't "did this test pass?" but "how reliable is this behavior?" If something passes 80% of the time, that might be perfectly acceptable. After a recent discussion with my colleagues, I think the question we should be asking isn't "did this test pass?" but "how reliable is this behavior?" I believe our test frameworks need to evolve. Run the same test multiple times, evaluate against a minimum pass rate, with sensible defaults (runs = 1, minPassRate = 1.0) so existing tests don't break. //@test:Config { runs: 10, minPassRate: 0.8 }
function testLLMAgent() {
// Your Ballerina code here :)
