A comment of appreciation which I think a lot of OSS devs don't get due to threads being filled with criticism or pessimism. Sorbet is great - chuck it on your core entity's and core methods and boom it feels great. Thank you team

I also think people forget that Robinhood was made with Python, Reddit used Python, Github/Gitlab use Ruby. Stripe AKA payments that need to be processed fast within SLA's use Ruby. Ruby and Python can only ever have one thread ru

May I ask what your path to where you are now was? What programming languages and areas did you focus on while job searching? Is leetcode + system design the ultimate way to get these interviews like TeamBlind says?

> the comparison is more complex Is it though? $150k+ salary seems to very much make up for all that in my mind.

Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Nike, Adidas... As far as I'm concerned you want to use a SPA when you have dynamic interlinked state. None of these sites have that. You give up so much simplicity going to SPA its kinda crazy and again I s

Interesting, it seems like the big three are New York Times, Financial Times and The Economist. Would love a curated weekly service for the best articles from all of these papers.

Personal opinions inbound... I agree with this but I really would have 0 use cases for Rust. I am not a systems programmer or really want to be. I prefer product focus and user interfaces. I would not want to do typical web back end program

I'm keeping watch on Crystal and Zig personally. Crystal looks like a near perfect language for my style with one major caveat being compilation speeds. I'm a sucker for a dynamic language feedback loop, I'm curious how Nim i

Do you setup a company for IR35? How bad is the hit of the new tax rules for yourself? Also any disadvantages that you have found yourself from going to contracting? Is it more high pressure/stress compared to permanent roles if you ha

Very interesting. This sounds like a response to the Mighty [0] launch which Paul Graham has been defending on twitter recently after an outcry from some of the 'hardcore' developers such as Jonathan Blow [1] and Casey [2]. [0]

This is an interesting take so here is my small input. Sometimes I wonder if the language matters or the community/ecosystem for the domain is more important. I like Java myself but is it ever used for a small SaaS startup? Does it hav

I'm on the same boat as you. I'm envious of game devs, I do not know what went wrong in web land that we can not have great smooth user interfaces and smooth animations. I'm sorry but the DOM is not it and is holding us so fa

I wish wish wish I could move over to Linux but its font rendering situation is terrible [1] I've tried Manjaro and Ubuntu to no avail. I have no idea what causes it or if people on Linux are not as sensitive to it or its a specific ha

Sadly, my plan is to pick up the new MacBook with new M1X chips this year whenever it releases in Q3/4 to combat the slowness. Wirth's law is making me sad

I'm not sure its FUD, your main page takes 63.5KB + 38.7KB for the gatsby reactified framework? + an extra 39.8KB in some js bundle and another 51.7KB in some other js bundle. Also you end up thrashing 5MB of browser storage when I hov

Kotlin feels to me to be in an odd spot. Java really has the incredible last mover advantage and it keeps making the right decisions in my eyes. All thanks to Brian Gotez and the team, they have incredible write ups about the language every

This might be an odd question but how often does garbage collection run and whats the usual time taken over a period of time? Say I'm doing a drawing/game app and creating a few hundred heap objects a second that need to get garba

Checkout Crystal lang one (Ruby but fast), https://github.com/benhoyt/countwords/pull/21/files seems to keep readability intact and committer is saying it outperforms Go which is interesting.

I personally think that the 2015 MBP was the last best value MacBook that would of been the one to last you plenty of years and looks like it has for you. The MacBooks since then have not had much of an noticeable improvement (other than ne

Excited for Q3/4 release of the new MacBook this year. I believe a nice screen redesign is in the works which will get rid of the outdated bezels and I'm hoping I can connect two displays. Throw in a possible few more cores for th

Does anyone know of any raw stats at what one beefy server can handle with a typical HTTP CRUD app? <10k doesn't seem right?

Crystal is a really nice language to me. If it had some large ecosystem behind it and wasn't boring I'd be able to use it to replace my other preferred boring languages of Java (strong engineering focus and long standing systems)

I really agree with this statement. I've never seen anything like Rails in Java/JavaScript land. In Java there's SpringBoot but its nowhere near a cohesive package with a strong online community behind it like Rails. It'

Any advice for someone looking to do the same as yourself? Looking to do a similar move to the US from UK but not sure how to even start. I wonder if FAANG type companies are the only viable options for the move over to get a VISA. As for t
