For me it’s cause there exists already perfectly capable and better ways to do these operations. I don’t need or want to work in an environment that reinvents how to map over a list. Frameworks and libraries have their own APIs like reacts

I would never use a library that invents its own DSL. We already have JS and HTML native to every browser with all the capabilities we need. React/Solid/Preact and others build off this. Alpine, Vue, Angular and company do not (x-

No, individuals have far less market power than institutions and businesses. Especially since health care is tied to employment. It's a privileged position if you can 'just say no' to a company that has non compete clauses -

This is minor - but Spotify doesn't support Apple's home pod/home pod minis Siri integration... This is especially disappointing as this (Siri integration) is one of the few areas Apple has opened up to 3rd party platforms! P

Lots of comments on how hackathons and late night sessions were fond memories for people. The difference is those events were chosen. If you are forced to remain at your company (due to visa issues for example) being forced by your CEO to s

I think a large part of being a good engineer is similar to becoming a good writer with the key difference of being a good writer on a paper that 10 other people are also helping to write. So the challenge isn't just in developing the

Go doesn't have any .forEach, .map, .filter methods on its lists. This alone to me is mind-blowing.

Mocking a global function in a single test is not a poor solution. To your first suggestion, that requires making a private function public which I dislike. The 2nd suggestion of using dependency injection does make testing easier, but inje

In all the tests I've written mocking always sucks. It's not hard, but it becomes a rabbit whole time suck. My personal goal is to only mock the server and as low as possible or necessary. I'm fully convinced mocking is a cod

Couldn't agree more. Lots of responses about 'I only see funny comedians' or 'Tik Tok is only about dumb entertaining videos', etc. This misses the forest through the trees. The dumb videos are the mechanism through

Thank you! It’s easy to fall into this habit especially with chained methods where it looks so nice. I have to remind myself of this concept often as it’s just so easy to do things quick and dirty

I wrote something on this idea as well referring to it as Debug Driven Development[0]. Similar to TDD or Domain Driven Design (DDD) we should aim to write code that is easy to debug. Store intermediate values in a pipeline in variables, sto

Doesn’t dart/flutter do this? Render everything to a canvas. It is difficult to believe this will be the future of the web. I don’t think websites should take this approach. Seems like a bad idea

Plus go code seems to embrace as short of a name for variables as possible. Have a parameter for an array of users? Call it ‘u’. Want to have a variable for a config object? Obviously call it ‘c’. ‘Idiomatic’ go code is bad code.

Music samples are a natural parallel. You cannot sample music without permission no matter how short the sample may be. Similarly you cannot steal a snippet of someone else's code without permission or the correct licensing.
