David Njoku<p>Question for any software developers who use AI code generation tools (Cursor, Github Copilot etc). I know that some devs like it, while some find it irritating. That's fine.</p><p>However, I'm curious: what - if any - rules has your organisation put around the usage of these tools - more testing, stricter code reviews, more documentation? Something else? Nothing at all (since ultimately the developer is responsible)?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/softwaredevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>softwaredevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"API documentation writers don’t just write content. We’re liaisons between client developers and in-house developers. I often say “we’re paid by the company but work for our clients.” Many think that in-house developers automatically empathize with the client developers. After all, they’re all developers, right? Right? Well, no. A surprising number of times, in-house developers are actually out of touch with clients. Why else would we be talking about having clear field names? They get tunnel vision or become myopic while in the code. This is not unique to developers. All professions have this risk. That’s our job to make sure that clarity is there for the clients. We can’t do it completely by ourselves. We need developer’s buy in. That means, one of two things.</p><p>We can push back on the in-house developers. When we see a meaningless, poor, or bad field names, for example, we have the right, if not obligation, to get it changed. Some developers may disagree. That’s OK. The truth is, the code doesn’t belong exclusively to in-house developers. It’s the client’s code. They’re the ones intended to run the code, to know which fields to pass in, with which values, and to read the response JSON. That makes it our code, too. We not only have to run the code but also to explain this to clients. We have a say in the matter."</p><p><a href="https://robertdelwood.medium.com/writing-for-humans-an-api-documentation-writer-writes-3c51a6ea87a5" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">robertdelwood.medium.com/writi</span><span class="invisible">ng-for-humans-an-api-documentation-writer-writes-3c51a6ea87a5</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalWriting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/APIs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APIs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/API" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>API</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/APIDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APIDocumentation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/APIs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>APIs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalCommunication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalCommunication</span></a></p>

Lukas Rotermund<p>I've been working with Go's `sync.WaitGroup` for quite some time. Today, I stumbled across the `WaitGroup.Go()` function, introduced in version 1.25. I'm excited about it! Then, there's the `golang.org/x/sync/errgroup` implementation, which returns any errors that occur.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Documentation is not trivial and AI-generated documentation sucks. As a technical writer, I find somewhat offensive this kind of pretentiousness from software developers. Documentation needs context, intentions, AND real-life use cases. And why the hell would you want to "synthesize documentation"? When you have great information architecture as well as supporting videos, there's no need to synthesize anything at all for the users.</p><p>"Clearly LLMs are useful to software engineers. They can quickly generate code, and they are excellent at synthesizing requirements and documentation. For some tasks this is enough: the requirements are clear enough, and the problems are simple enough, that they can one-shot the whole thing.</p><p>That said, for anything non-trivial, they are not capable of maintaining enough context accurately enough to iterate to a working solution.

qjerome<p>🚀 Porting libmagic to Rust: Safer File Identification 🚀</p><p>A little while ago (maybe a month or two), I started porting a great project to Rust: libmagic, the library behind the `file` command utility.</p><p>🤔 Why did I do that?<br>For years, I've faced the same issue with file identification: embedding a C library that does intensive parsing into my memory-safe code (Rust, Go, Python, etc.). While I trust the file/libmagic developer community's code quality, I know there are skilled people capable of finding and exploiting bugs—especially in C/C++ parsers. So I've always been reluctant to run libmagic on untrusted input, which creates a tricky situation that kind of defeats its original purpose: categorizing files you know nothing about.</p><p>🦀 Why Rust?<br>Rust is the perfect fit for this port. It provides strong safety guarantees while maintaining high performance and easy bindings to other languages (C/C++, Python, Go, Elixir, etc.). Bonus: the library and tool will be portable to all Rust-supported targets.</p><p>💻 Show me the code!<br>Here it is: <a href="https://github.com/qjerome/magic-rs/pull/1" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/qjerome/magic-rs/pu</span><span class="invisible">ll/1</span></a><br>⚠️ Note: This isn't a full implementation yet—it's still a work in progress and needs more work for a usable, clean version (see PR description). That said, if you're feeling adventurous, you can test it out. It already successfully identifies several file types: MS-DOS executables, ELF binaries, scripts, and more.</p><p>🔄 Compatibility with C libmagic file format?<br>This project aims for 99% compatibility with libmagic's rule file format. A few rules (such as those using ternary notations in messages) may need adjustments, but the goal is to stay true to the existing specification.</p><p>📌 What's next?<br>- Finalize the library implementation and publish a Rust crate<br>- Complete the CLI tool (a `file`-equivalent implementation)<br>- Create bindings for other languages</p><p>If you're interested in this work, don't hesitate to follow along or reach out!</p><p>Special thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@adulau" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>adulau</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.circl.lu/@circl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>circl</span></a></span> for supporting this work! 🙏</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rust</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Libmagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libmagic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Programming</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a></p>
