The amount of tap dancing and philosophizing some developers are willing to do to dodge estimates is hilarious. It’s a skill… a basic part and critical part of engineering. IME the common thread between objectors is that they haven’t made a

With poor abstractions I can improve abstractions and ensure holistic impact because of the reuse. Then I’m left with well factored reusable code full of increasingly powerful abstractions. Productivity increases over time. Abstractions im

Looking at that unwrap as a Result<T> handler, the arguable issue with the code was the lack of informative explanation in the unexpected case. Panicking from the ill-defined state was desired behaviour, but explicit is always better

I’m reminded, by the ascii art d’s, about a metric used in game dev where users can shape content, something to the effect of time to penis (TTP): defined as the time from tool availability to when users abuse said tool to craft dong. Suppo

I see profits and outsourcing. Selling an on-premise service requires customer support, engineering, and duplication of effort if you’re pushing to the cloud as well. Then you get the temptations and lock in of cloud-only tooling and an ar

OOP without inheritance is exactly what VB6 had… now its cool again, I guess.

Alternatively: had MS Embraced and Extended harder instead of trying to extinguish ASAP we’d have a much better internet owned to a much higher degree by MS. A few decades back Microsoft were first to the prize with asynchronous JavaScript

That’s not at all the issue. You’re talking about individuals paying high personal taxes, high VAT, and high local taxes for a lifetime without complaint. Also Scandinavia has some meaningful issues of immigration & welfare. The issue

It also serves as a proxy for a punishment. They are, from one perspective, paying a voluntary fine based on their own assessment of their security failings. For customers it signals sincerity and may help dampen outrage in their follow up

If they hadn’t fumbled the UI framework, and to a lesser extent the language design, you’re effectively describing .Net’s original role in the MS ecosystem and their play for web dominance. JIT compiling, native graphics, quick and easy onl

Speech to text makes it feel more futuristic. As does reflecting that Picard had to explain to Computer every, single, time that he wanted his Earl Grey tea ‘hot’. We knew what was coming.

As programmers I think we can extend some professional empathy and understanding: copy-and-pasting all day is a lot harder than you’d think.

C# has incomplete and often compromised versions of the constructs F# mostly took from OCaml, and as you extend those exhaustive guarantees towards formal verification you bump into F*. C#s adoption of language features shows their utility

F# is less popular, but it’s a first class .Net language with full MS support and integration onto .Net (VM and ecosystem). C# has been tracking F# and aiming for language parity for years (ie all your modern C# devs should be learning the

Well summarized, and just as shocking today as it was every minute while it developed. Someone needs to remind those cats that they own the platform. Being able to sanely develop apps for and on that platform should be possible, and UI kind

Hard truths about outsourcing: you’re always dealing with a cultural, political, and legal gap. Stuff that’s hella-illegal, that not even the remotest WFH citizen would ever try to pull, might look very tasty from another perspective. Econ

Kafka also provides early architectural scaffolding for multiple teams to build in parallel with predictable outcomes (in addition to the categorical answers to hard/error-prone patterns). It’s been adopted in principle by the services

Sounds like a fully functioning feature to me: “make up a task to force the project managers eyes to glaze over” ;) “ Quick, Claude, what have I supposedly been WorkingOn all morning? … ‘Blockchain Token Configuration Update’, perfect! ”

Compare those air ‘purifiers’ with the activated charcoal setups they use on cannabis grow operations, and you’ll get a sense of what volume of charcoal and air circulation is necessary to combat those small particulates. Purifiers help in

Yeah, but if you use F# that then you’ll have all the features C# has been working on for years, only in complete and mature versions, and also an opinionated language encouraging similar styles between teams instead of wild dialects of kin
