got any more criticisms, font choice, perhaps there's some duplication in their css? I think 12k could be fine given how much it might have cost them if nobody had noticed.

> Also there can be multiple possible non-error responses from an endpoint you need to differentiate between Yeah, I'm mildly sold on this use-case to be fair. But I think I'll keep the unexpected errors as exceptions.

its not your job to comment spitty replies either but yet you volunteer that time, when you could have been productive instead of whatever the fuck this shit is. My primary concern with this pattern versus exceptions is calling code can sim

by Quarrelsome 5mo ago
the result pattern doesn't force you to handle the exception though. You can just discard the result.

I can already do functional programming like map/reduce in C# tho. Not sure what the LISP argument is. Spolsky was saying there's a perf benefit in there somewhere but I'm not seeing how unions give me that.

I think I get it but I'm not really sure what I'm gaining over exception types. With an intelligent use of exceptions I can easily specify the happy path and all the error paths separately which seems really nice to me, because us

none of that applies to my position. I have an appreciation for almost all of C# and am comfortable in the framework. I just want to know what situations would be better suited to using them than traditional approaches. I get there's a

Ok. I'm just trying to understand what code I'm replacing with them. Like I wanna see the before and after in order to gain the same level of excitment as other people seem to have for them. Often the explanations just seem rather

Isn't that just Func<int> ?

by Quarrelsome 5mo ago
ok, so what problems do they help me solve that I can't already solve? Is it just that we can make code more concise or am I missing a trick somewhere?
103.
by Quarrelsome 5mo ago
yeah this is the one I've considered as being mildly compelling. But don't we lose the fun of having exception handling as separate to the happy path?

thanks for helping.

I mean yes, but also: uh-oh. I'm looking forward to reading some code that is even more confusing than the code I'm already reading. Not entirely convinced that I see the usecase that makes up for the potential madness.

you could probably already fake that to some extent with the latest video models.

they battered if you put it in your pocket. The idea of paper looking guilty chimes with the idea that you're reading it in the back of the classroom when you're not supposed to be. I mean seriously? We're so cooked if this i

maybe but its not like people don't also do these things (erroneous sentences, weird fluff). I mean editors exist specifically to slap that shit out of writers. That said, it's mildly compelling. I just fear that our future is gon

is this just slander or are you basing this on something? I feel like the only way to make an AI slop universe worse is to accuse people of using AI when they're not. So I worry we might be doing that is all...

Sure, that's why we probably shouldn't start with vibe coding. Or otherwise at least learn formal methods to test against assumptions and doubly triply check vibe coded output.
