I will Tom. That comment was touching the third rail for me and I reacted where I shouldn’t have.

Didn’t call anyone stupid. I said the comment was stupid. I maintain it was.

as a positive, maybe this will make fast forward work on HBO streaming. One of the little UX pebbles in my shoe that Netflix has figured out. Jokes aside, HBO is a prestige TV brand. Netflix had a deep desire to create and run premium conte

That is not the only reason for a big car. You have to find special forward facing child seats to put 3 wide in a Tesla model 3 rear row, then do yoga to try to insert the children into them. To run the child seats facing backwards as long

Setting hooks has been super helpful for me, you can reject certain uses of tools (don’t touch my tests for this session) with just simple scripting code.

I love the model, hate the tool. I’ve taken complex stuff and given it to Gemini 3 and been impressed, but Anthropic has the killer app with Claude Code. The interplay of sonnet (a decent model) and the tools and workflow they’ve got with C

I’m sure this isn’t directed at everyone that works at GH, but it would have been more tactful to fault the people making decisions. Those frustrations are real though.

Reading the infra part of the post made me smile, I spent part of my week putting workloads on spot but this is the real spot market. Chaos monkey is running in prod if you are ready for it or not. Jokes aside, the technical depth it takes

There is no such thing as “the neighborhood kids” anymore. Having any kind of social circle for your children is going to require your facilitation and effort… a lot of it. It’ll be extra hard without the common bond of shared activity. Not

I’m not a Java dev, my preferred languages are Clojure, scala, rust, and python. I think you assumed ignorance, tried to explain something your colleagues probably don’t get to someone who understands it, and then haven’t put the effort int

Look, I understand duck typing. Go doesn’t have it, the fact you keep calling go’s dynamic dispatch duck typing is a bit of a red flag, but I can see why you would think that. It’s not my point though, you’re missing what I’m saying. You’re

Your two paragraphs give example to the exact problem. “It doesn’t matter what the name is, interfaces aren’t precious”, and “you don’t need to see the implementation to know what it does, just read the method name and type signature” right

I revile this pattern. Look at the examples and imagine these are real and everything in the system is abstracted like this, and your coworkers ran out of concise names for their interfaces. Now you have to hop to 7 other files, through abs

Congrats to the whole stytch team, I was a customer and evangelist for stytch at a previous company, and I really liked what they offered and dealing with the team. Interesting they were bought by twilio, as abstracting over two sms provide

I have dreams of being at a “Clojure shop” but I fear daily professional use might dull my love for the language. Having to realize that not everyone on my team wants to learn lisp (or FP) just to work with my code (something I find amazing

I use Clojure all the time and I haven’t noticed the gripe you’ve got, but these are built in features of (somewhat) popular programming languages. Might not be for you but functional programming isn’t for everyone.

These chains become easy to read and understand with a small language feature like the pipe operator (elixir) or threading macro (clojure) that takes the output of one line and injects it into the left or rightmost function parameter. For e

I've watched LPL videos and practiced on regular locks, I can pick something that is about 10$ or less, but these expensive locks with good tolerances (Abus) or disc detainer cores (kryptonite locks,) no amount of practice and fiddling

I’m sure there are better ways to do streams on the JVM, scala being a great example, but however imperfect the implementation is streams are such a net positive I can’t imagine the language without them. I pine for the streams API when I w

The fact that you need to take the cab off to do an oil pan gasket should set off some alarm bells for how maintainable these vehicles are.

I’m dumb about it. I don’t have a scheme, I don’t have a hidden agenda, I don’t have ulterior motives… I’ve got what I think is great engineering (divorced from what the customer or business wants in the short term) and I just diligently tr

One of my favorite quotes: “ Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternati

Clean code is over abstraction, spaghetti code. The people who are part of this cult just point to the source material and title, never critically think about why it might be bad (it’s super slow, check YouTube “clean code performance” for

Are you kidding? I pay for iCloud as a service, 30$ a month for my family. I expect it to work and not corrupt my photos.
