Welcome to issue 123 of Hacker Bits!
We have a fantastic lineup this month spanning AI-assisted development and its limits, the human side of technical leadership, time handling in JavaScript, a rogue AI security incident and some honest reflection on what it means to build software in the age of LLMs!
As always, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any suggestions or feedback! 🙂
– Ray and Maureen
