If you want to run SQL, write SQL. The majority of your SQL will not require building dynamic where clauses or (dog forbid) dynamic joins. Having your SQL as plain statements with simple placeholders (to create safe prepared statements) is

It's stunning to me how little people like the author of this piece know about the economics of running large scale sites like reddit or twitter. Nothing is free, including providing and maintaining APIs. Someone's gotta pay for t

If I would summarize the majority of this article it is: The Go libraries are not working as I was expecting and I can't figure out how to treat JSON data as data because of the type system. Also, "entire JavaScript ecosystem is g

Oh, a nature reserve... Never mind the 200,000 people that had to be relocated... It doesn't matter how we perceive as nature coping with this disaster. The fact that it shouldn't have happened, the fact that there are still othe

10 years and we are still building custom forms from the same primitive building blocks. And with react having to fudge with the state of DOM input components, it's been a messy ride. And yet, the idea of describing your UI and have a

Another benchmark of the "I don't know what I'm actually measuring" flavor. I don't even know where to start: from the lack of env settings, system settings, compiler settings to the fact that no concurrent work was

Every single day I wish the architects at my current job had chosen Datomic instead of Postgresql. It would have saved us so so much time and trouble. The time traveling ability alone would have been so useful so many times. Also the abilit

It was heartbreaking to see the control room during the first few minutes after the landing. Imagine a project you've worked on for years going kaput and you won't even know why. None of these engineers will find sleep tonight. I

Nowadays, we have both. Use GraalVM if you care about smaller memory footprint and faster startup time. For the immediate, REPL-based development flow, a VM is a great host platform.

Architectures need to be judged by their difficulty to make code and data changes. Changes in a stratified architecture are much simpler than in a layered design. (Changes in a layered design almost always mean changes to all the layers)

Lovely page layout. Feels like an overly long game though :) I was scared by "50 custom hooks": why is that a good thing? (honest question). It seems daunting to have to learn when and why you'd use them.

"general thinking" - this algorithm can't "think". It is still a nifty text completion engine with some bells and whistles added. So many people are falling for this parlor trick. It is sad.
