Noise from the Basement

Good news, everyone! I have some time until the end of the year to help with your software development woes. The kind of woes that still exist in this era of coding agents and other AI tools:

• Software development best practices (CI/CD, PR reviews, automated tests, test coverage, branching strategy, etc.)
• Architecture and design
• That legacy app no one wants to touch, even with a coding agent
• Feeling stuck, or needing an extra pair of hands for a while

Tell me your woe via direct message, a comment, or email at chris@saturdaymp.com. Or just reach out with a question or to say hi.

It’s fall, at least in Edmonton, where the leaves have been changing and falling for a while. I’m curious if we will get snow this year before Halloween. I give it a 75% chance based on what I remember, but my memory is faulty and I gave up on finding actual statistics after an online search or two.

Now I feel like I need to post a picture of leaves or something. Social media is hard for me. I guess I’ll take a real picture and not create an AI picture. Wait, are blogs considered social media? Well, for me they are. Anyway, behold Edmonton on a lovely fall day.

In this episode I solve the size and speed challenges for Unzip and Injection Sites 2. If you have any suggestions for improving my solutions, let me know.

In this episode I continue working through 7 Billion Humans by Tomorrow Corporation. This time I focus on the size and speed challenges for Little Exterminator 1, Collation Station, and Emergency Escapades. I don’t get all of them. If you know how to solve the ones I failed at, let me know.

P.S. - The audio was out of sync with the video in this episode. I fixed it as best I could but the previous 7 Billion Humans episode has the same problem. I wonder how many other videos have this issue? Sorry about that.

7 Billion Humans is the successor to Human Resource Machine by Tomorrow Corporation. Where Human Resource Machine is about assembly programming, 7 Billion Humans is about parallel processing. In this episode I go through the tutorial and solve a few puzzles. Then I go back to a tutorial puzzle and fail to optimize the number of steps. Do you know how to optimize it?
