Experimenting with LLMs for Developer Productivity
This article describes an experiment that sought to determine if no-cost LLM-based code generation tools can improve developer productivity. The experiment evaluated several LLMs by generating unit tests for some open-source code and measuring the code coverage as well as the manual rework necessary to make the tests work.

You Don’t Need a CSS Framework
Developers use CSS frameworks to reduce boilerplate, increase quality, and drive consistency. However, these gains are hard to maintain as an application’s codebase matures. Developers must configure and override the framework to accommodate changes. Instead of using a CSS framework, developers should write their own custom CSS. CSS has evolved enough that this became the best option.

Getting Technical Decision Buy-In Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process
Making large, important technical decisions is a critical aspect of a senior individual contributor's role. This article examines how Comcast has employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a decision-making framework developed in the 1970s, and adapted it for making technical and non-technical decisions both large and small.

How to Use Rust Procedural Macros to Replace Panic with syn’s Fold
In this article, we show how you can write advanced macros to step through Rust code and modify it. Using the standard tooling available in the syn crate, we first show how to change the occurrence of a panic into an Err. Then we go a step beyond and use the Fold trait to recursively step through the entire function, automatically executing a change in every applicable location.

Testing Machine Learning: Insight and Experience from Using Simulators to Test Trained Functionality
When testing machine learning systems, we must apply existing test processes and methods differently. Machine Learning applications consist of a few lines of code, with complex networks of weighted data points that form the implementation. The data used in training is where the functionality is ultimately defined, and that is where you will find your issues and bugs.
