Thanks. Good to see the discussion there. My friend and fellow HNer Miguel invited both of us a little while ago. I just joined too.

I actually don't have an account myself, I just read. But I may be able to get one, I'll check.

Sadly I'm not aware of an organised community around this concept. There should be one! "Intentional programming" is also a good keyword to look for.

Great to see Isomorf here. I have commented multiple times about it before in the context of the next generation of programming languages (or more generally, moving away from plaintext). Here's a relevant one just 5 days ago under &quo

I don't disagree. I don't think React+Redux is perfect or fixed every possible problem. A lot of those things are in a way a fundamental side effect of lenient languages and dynamism. Having said I think it's definitely nowhe

I'd say the elephant in the room is graduating beyond plaintext (projectional editor, model-based editor). If you think about it so many of our problems are a direct result of representing software as a bunch of files and folders with

The whole "separate HTML, JS & CSS" idea I don't believe is something that should go unchallenged. It was "best practice" back in the days for years and mostly just because it was best practice, but also because

Does anyone know if it's possible to take a screenshot of a specific DOM element? (instead of the entire page)

Yes I agree that it is sensitive. The part that annoys me is this backdrop of "machines are going to be doing everything and no one is going to have anything to do". When in reality it's going to be an assistant next to the e

One of my predictions is that the AI pendulum will swing again at the other direction and people will wake up again to the reality that AI is far from achieving the romanticised stuff that the so called experts and book authors want the pub

There we go so since people are saying "it depends" I guess you can't just go work for them on that basis. And I bet if you bring it up during the process it wont help at all.

Then you need bandwidth to download the CSS that is embedded in the page. Where as you if you cache the linked CSS file you only take the hit once but as you navigate around the site each time it'll be loaded from the cache.

Do pretty much all programmers in Microsoft get their own office? Is it as simple as that or there's more to it?

At least in those days they didn't pretend like that was a beautiful thing. Now we have these charlatans who not only want to push these concepts. But also want everyone to acknowledge just how great they are. And not to mention the pr

Sadly many young folks fall for it. It's all fake altruistic bullshit marketing/PR/corporate speak. It's just modern advertising and branding. And they try to one-up each other so you just get bombarded with this happy-l

These kinds of products are extremely hard to get right. You likely end up in an awkward position where big or serious companies don't take you seriously because they have their own ways and methods and teams and baggage and don't
