7 分钟We're making some big Changelog changes in 2025, the previously featured Stanford study on ghost engineers doesn't live up to the hype, Git ingest is a simple service that turns any GitHub repository into a simple text ingest of its codebase, Simon Willison dishes out some hard-earned wisdom he acquired by working at Lanyrd / Eventbrite & Matheus Lima warns us about six mistakes that new managers make.
Foreign what up nerds?
I'm Jared and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, December 9, 2024.
For the fifth time in the last nine years, a page about deaths in the given year got more visits than any other page on Wikipedia.
The list of deaths in 2024 page garnered over 44 million views.
We're a morbidly curious bunch, aren't we?
Okay, let's get into this week's news.
A new era for the Changelog Podcast universe.
Let's start off with some literally Changelog News.
Here's my co host, Adam.
Quote we are kicking off 2025 with some big changes.
Starting in January, we'll be focusing all of our efforts on producing the Changelog News interviews and Friends as the single best developer podcast experience.
In order to do this, we are stopping production of GoTime, JS Party, ShipIt, and Practical AI.
But don't worry, there's continuation and spin offs in motion.
End quote this was a really hard decision to make, but we needed to create space for experiments, explorations, and more coding.
We love all of our pods.
Thankfully, each one has a continuation story.
Oh, and CPU FM is coming soon.
Ghost Engineers More like Ghost Researchers it appears the Stanford study about ghost engineers that I chose to headline episode 122, wasn't worthy of our coverage.
A few of our community members pointed that out in our discussion thread, and Amelia posted on Mastodon summarizing many of its issues.
Quote what flawed methodology did this study use?
