The community split is what makes Scala better in my opinion. The fact that you can have the split between functional first and better java people is a nice thing to see over Java where if you want to do functional programming, you are a se

If you are serious about using the JVM, I would suggest Kotlin or Scala as a better alternative to Java as they have all the libraries and greatness of the JVM but they have less of the historical baggage that Java brings with it. Both can

Parity yes, but documentation and support not so much. Using Java on Azure always felt like being Microsoft's red headed step child when compared to C#, and for good reason since C# is of course a Microsoft Language. I don't fault

To add to this, The whole TDD approach as described in the original book by Kent Beck advocated for throwing away your smaller unit tests after a certain point while keeping the higher level ones. This way you can still be confident in your

Speaking from my experience at my former eployer (a F500) we used all HP laptops across the entire org and our help desk staff were HP certified repair people. So, when we had issues with our hardware we would drop it off at the help desk a

It's a good side effect that a large manufacturer is considering building an easy-to-repair laptop, but don't wait with baited breath for it to be a reality. I feel that the average consumer doesn't care about things being re

It depends....if the mobbing is what my former agile consultants were pushing (having everyone from dev's to business analysts do it) then no, it doesn't work. The few places that I have seen it work sort of well is when there is

The same could be said about all trades people (and yes I consider most software engineering a trade), there are those who care deeply about the quality of their work and improving that. Then there are those who get really comfortable and a

To add to this, when we are reading/writing python source code there are types involved. The question becomes do we want the types to exist only in our heads or also denoted in the source. To me even though the type annotations don&#x2

You may have a misunderstanding here. Neovim, while it is a ground up rewrite of vim, didn't break people's configs. The team made it a point to maintain backwards compatibility while positioning themselves to be able to move towa

I like that the author decided to take a different approach to thinking about electron, but his argument that everything is fine for him on his macbook that has 16gb of ram seems rather weak. Many users may have more economic laptops that h
