That would be terrible. I'm definitely presuming that the author definitely needed to make the cuts. If that's not the case, and I got laid off, I'd be pissed.

I'm not familiar with the author, but doing one layoff seems much kinder to everyone than multiple over time. And the company not surviving doesn't help anyone. Being laid off is horrible, but if I'm one of the lucky ones tha

Curious how the author got better at communication. What are good resources or books for doing so?
124.

That's fair. However, it is pretty straightforward to extract these to something reusable using Sass, css-modules, or templating (Handlebars, Nunjucks, React, etc). So you can move really fast and experiment when you need to, and then

This is a good point. I'm working on moving some functionality out of a system - not replacing the system. And it's still extremely challenging to actually figure out everything that's going on with just the thing I'm mo

True. Guess I meant that educational background doesn’t seem like an important thing for someone’s “hackerness”. Having the skill/knowledge/experience/taste is more important than how you got it.

I don’t know. This seems overly harsh, and a pretty classic case of othering people who are different than the author. For example, I’m pretty sure a “hacker” could learn at Khan Academy. In fact, considering anything other than someone’s s

TL;DR - the authors of this paper ( http://janvitek.org/pubs/toplas19.pdf ) tried for 6 months to replicate the results of previous research that showed certain programming languages were associated with fewer defects. T

The same thing stuck out to me, and definitely seemed presumptuous. However, I'm not a physicist, so what do I know? Maybe one way of looking at it is that despite the fact that gravitons are hypothetical, we can still do the math and

Very interesting, and I'd never heard of Curry-Howard correspondence. I've also always wondered how dependent types worked conceptually (as in, what's going on there, what are we proving, etc). Thanks for the insights and the

The idea of a type hole sounds really nice! Also, I hadn’t thought of Idris, but it makes sense that the more advanced a type system, the more they can take over for tests.

Author here. I do practice TDD, which is where I think this thought came from. Types aren't exactly like tests, but we can use them for some of the same goals, such as constraining and influencing our implementations. The example here

Maybe this is for the better, though. I totally understand why they'd want to restrict membership and keep things focused and civil. But there is also something that feels off about excluding people who are probably qualified to be the

Maybe. Another explanation could be that defying the social norms of the situation starts you at a higher level of status.

It's not that silly. Just making the point that I've met plenty of people without degrees who are absolutely great engineers. And my company somehow comes up with plenty of badly engineered systems, despite being full of people wi

You’re quite right, but one thing to note here is that Haskell Stack refers to a specific build tool for Haskell. Not its “stack”. But your point still stands.

Yeah, someone knew something. But also, maybe a lesson for all of us is to keep company messaging to company stuff and leave out the jokes.
