I wanted to try Smalltalk earlier and discovered Pharo, but I found it to be just one huge antipattern as everything involved a single combined toolchain/IDE/runtime virtual machine image. Amber's documentation seems to have

Didn't ask. My original code was not tied to any specific hosted environment (assuming that Microsoft's POSIX C standard library implementation is more or less correct) but I never made it clear I tested and intended it to be used

When I see someone violating cycling traffic code, nine times out of ten it's an electric skateboard, rental city bike or a food delivery guy on an electric moped (legally bicycles when limited to 25 km/h). And those spandex-weari

Conversely, I've seen way too many designed-by-designers GUIs and UX flows that can be best characterized as a glittery, polished turd. They sure look nice in Figma but often only have one well-specified happy path from which the end u

Luckily there is no regulation in this industry, just demanding customers. The main issue is that we support way too many different workflows based on customer requirements and actual hardware configuration, and even a slight change to a co
