I wish we can have immutable runtime objects (e.g. final in Java or const in C++). Go has constant (`const`) type that can be evaluated at compile-time but no const type for something that can only be evaluated at Run time.

How many startups/small companies that uses next.js do any static verification?

by ashishb 2y ago
Next.js is based on a fundamentally flawed premise that one can write code that runs in the browser as well as the backend. The security posture for the code running in the browser is very different from the code running on a trusted backen

GitHub Actions, at least at that time, had a lot more coverage than circle CI. Anda a lot more flexibility in terms of what can you do.

Will it last another 2 years? Several CI systems have come and gone.

I used to use circle CI earlier. GitHub Actions was an upgrade for me.

It definitely will. Whether it will make a noticable difference depends on how much non-cuda work happens in model training.

The article did talk about maintainability issues with Python as well.

Why do I have to restrict myself to interpreted languages only?

Which tools would you recommend for that?

by ashishb 2y ago
Indeed. Pure data manipulation, especially, when it being done for a batch job, is a good use case for Python.

Yeah, you can write Python in production. I, myself, have done that a lot. I don't think it is my preferred choice in 2025 though.
