If postgres were worse than the alternatives I wouldn't use it. And React is worse than the alternatives. All it has going for it is the huge ecosystem.

No bootcamp, university, albeit only a BSc, because I didn't feel like academia afterwards with a full time job and now I've moved on. 9 years of professional experience. Having worked and paid to do so with Java, Scala, Kotlin, P

My tip: you start by avoiding React altogether. It sounds bad, but if you can, do oldschool SSR with HTMX or the like. It's sooooo much better. I was paid to develop frontends in React for 4 years, I wrote my first website in 2005... I

Htmx works on all browsers I want to support. I don't use any prefixed CSS and haven't for many years. Last time I did knowingly and voluntarily was about a decade ago.

It's just the hype moving on. Every generation has to make similar mistakes again and again. I am sure if we had the opportunity and the hype was there we would've used k8s in 2005 as well. The same thing is true for e.g. JavaScri

Right. Depending on my client's needs we do it oldschool and just rent a beefy server. Using your brain to actually assess a situation and decide without any emotional or monetary attachment to a specific solution actually works like a

That's why in sane countries there is jurisdiction to deal with that. If you leave capitalism unchecked it will fuck you as hard as any other system.

No! I mean, yes, but not an official one. The stdlib is where good ideas go to die. Waiting for "pub struct RDBMSInferfaceV17ThisTimeWeGotItRightForSure"

Subjectively, not baked by any science, the Linking step is the worst, even with mold.

About my only gripe with the language. But it's getting better.

in the stdlib, yes. In 3rd party crates? Depends!

Totally agreed, but as the previous poster wrote: an exception is meant for EXCEPTIONAL behavior. So it may be that the file access throws an exception but generally, I wouldn't agree.

As said, I don't like the wrapping of about everything with try/catch Sure, you can only do it way up the stack, but that's not enough quite often. If you can only do it all the way up, I find it ergonomic. Maybe I should exp

Bah, no, I hated that you had to wrap basically every code block in a try/catch in Java, because the underlying lib could change and suddenly throw a Runtime-Exception. At the same time Checked Exceptions were a nightmare as well, beca

Abort on the other hand is used WAY to liberally in Rust. How I hate it, that every second function call can break my program when it's clearly not a "halt the world, it's totally unrecoverable that the user sent us nonsense&

But with Exceptions you can easily implement multiple return types in e.g. Java ;) I shocked my Professor at university with that statement. After I started laughing, he asked me more questions... still went away with a straight A ;D

Here, you've found me. I don't LIKE it, but it's acceptable. I have been working with Rust since 2015 (albeit not professionally, but a lot of side projects) and love it. But I also dabbled into go the last couple of months a

It simply depends on what you need. I am gladly writing my own left-pad. I am gladly using something like three.js if I need it. The problem are the extreme stances. Don't add any dependency is as stupid as pulling in dependencies for

I decide on a case by case basis. I've been bitten by both decisions in the past. Prematurely abstracting and "what's 4 copies gonna do, that's totally manageable" until it cost quite some time to fix bugs (multiple

Because of I/O. Without any kind of async (this includes green threads) you run out of (OS) threads very fast. This is not a black/white decision whether Async makes sense for every API all the time or never. It's a solution

I would've gone home, every day. And then I would've read, after I played hours of World of Warcraft ;-) Oh wait, that's what actually happened! But I agree and I don't want to bd young these days anymore.

I am not using Nvidia since 2011. Last nvidia device was bought in 2007. Back then I migrated to Archlinux and in all these years I only had problems with nvidia. Since then they are dead to me :)
