A language is just as much about what it can't do, then what it can do.

Isn't 95% of it just blocking every port except the service you want to expose, and then making sure everything is up to date and the service is built in a secure way. WAF's etc just hide the fact the code in your service is full

If you want to get paid more, then don't engage the company for "career progression". 90% of that stuff is designed by HR for "engagement" to keep you on the hamster wheel. A lot of that stuff at my company is kept

Errm. Don't start an "agency". It's literally outsourcing, and cost is most often the focus for most companies.

No screenshots, and not obvious what platform it runs on.

It's just a learning tool to see how docker works. Docker is just a combination of kernel tech that already exists. Namespaces, cgroups, and union file systems and probably few others.

Most ml based languages feel like that. It feels like typed lisp with the brackets omitted.

Honestly I think rigorous proofs, and using sets to prove things would useful thinking skills for cs.

Ryanair is stupidly cheap. They probably don't make any money on the basic flight.

I use that architecture. You still use mocks at the edges.

It's boring tech. They're quietly being used everywhere in big companies doing the heavy lifting.

You have to mock/fake when modules call dependencies. Your way means you only ever have siblings. With an orchestrator pulling results out of one module and pushing it into another.

Could you just run some behaviour tests against the gateway? You can get the best of both.

Companies that want to maintain the ability to outsource or hire cheap developers if push comes to shove is actually pretty common. They want commodity labour.

I'm not saying people interested in OCaml are the best. I'm saying you don't have to worry about smart people being incapable of understanding OCaml. You got the direction the wrong way around. Ask to introduce OCaml at any c

by UK-Al05 2y ago
I think OCaml is more of symptom of the people who they hire. Most companies don't want to hire OCaml and Haskellers. They fear they would be too expensive, and requires clear thinking so you can't hire bottom of the bucket devs.

Ambiguity in requirements is where the majority of bugs come from now. So I don't think AI would improve things.
79.
by UK-Al05 3y ago
Something close to that.

by UK-Al05 3y ago
It's shitty for the same reasons why AI will be bad at it. It involves talking to people, and trying to resolve ambiguous requirements.

by UK-Al05 3y ago
It's more about defining outcomes exactly rather than a sequence of exact steps.

You have describe tests in a way doesn't use example based testing. Think property based testing. That way it can't overfit.

by UK-Al05 3y ago
I think software engineering will just go up the stack to requirements engineering. Those requirements will be specified as tests or in a very high level language that doesn't allow for ambiguous meanings. Which is essentially another

Mainly get good at describing what you want. I think tests are good way of doing that, or some special requirements language will emerge that AI agents can use. I don't think English is particularly good way of describing things exactl
85.
by UK-Al05 3y ago
Because test define the behaviour. The hardest part of requirements is describing exactly what you want. Tests are great way of doing that. I think AI software development is going to involve writing tests, which the AI agents then get pass

The problem is domain experts aren't actually that good specifications either. Do you know who is trained to be good at spec'ing software? Software engineers.

Self employed Plumbers can earn about the same as developers in the UK.

Normally all breaking changes can be broken up into 2. First add the additions to the db, then the new version of the software can work with the db. Then once all software is updated, remove the old fields.

The people who ultimately pay for you, couldn't give a crap about any of that. Only what they use from you. I.e The companies customers.

Explanation literally doesn't make sense.
