I'm cutting 800x800 tiles for the first time.

I've hired a 950mm wet time cutter.

Can I cut a 100mm strip off in a single pass?

I've had problems with smaller tiles - in a cheap tile saw - cracking as I reach the end of the cut.

I've got around this previously by making a small cut at one end before flipping the tile to make the main cut.

I'm not certain if this is necessary or if it will work on the much bigger tiles?

Advice - tiles are about 14mm thick

In the words of the Highlander 'there can only be one' or perhaps more accurately 'we only need one'.

I've been programming for 40+ years in 25+ languages starting with Commodore basic, 6502 assembler, C and then many more.

I was highly sceptical when ai comes out but since about December I've have essentially stopped programming.

I see my role as BA and what I like to call a 'test curator'. I don't write tests but I make sure they have been written.

My current language expertise focuses on dart and java, but if I'm not writing code why does the language matter?

I moved from C++ to Java because of the memory saftey that Java offered. Running a team with junior C++ Devs was always hairy and java eliminated a whole class of problems and made the whole team more productive.

I've spent the last couple of years reminding people that rust is a system language and you are wasting precious Dev resource programming a web server in rust.

But llm's have changed the equation - writing code is now cheap - I 'wrote' 6000 lines of rust yesterday plus around 100 unit and system tests.

So the choice of programming language is no longer about the programmer - as they no longer exist.

So how do we choose the language?

Type safe, memory safe, fast and cross platform.

Rust seems to be almost the perfect choice.

We only need one language and rust just might be it.
