I'm lukewarm on GraphQL myself, but good tooling can definitely go a long way here. https://hotchocolate.io/ , in the Dotnet ecosystem, is one of the better versions of handling some of those longer tail items out of th

One good reason is that HAProxy doesn't payment gate a bunch of the baseline features. I'm still surprised that NGINX doesn't come with active healthchecks in the free version - baseline feature for a load balancer in the wo

The notion of a public API is really more fluid in the context of internal codebases as well. It's important to maintain your contract for forwards/backwards compatibility when publishing a library for a world. When you can reliab

Interactions with your DB are often the most fragile piece of your code, because there's an impedance mismatch between the language you're writing and SQL. Some languages/frameworks abstract this more safely than others, thou

I agree. I fundamentally don't enjoy working in my home. Making the best of it while I can, and my productivity is fine, but it's taxing. I worked for a year and a half remotely a few years prior to the pandemic, and decided I did

I used to be very gungho on text editors (started my career with Sublime, moved to VSCode later), but I've turned the other way and use Jetbrains products now. LSP is decent, but I've yet to see any languages with the depth and qu

When the original iPhone came out, bandwidth on Edge was so slow that Bash was just about the only site I could load with a good ratio of load time to enjoyment. I read a lot of bash, then.

Ann Arbor is an amazing town, but I'm surprised to see it on the same level as much larger metros. Is tech that much deeper there than when I was in school a handful of years ago? Who are the big players these days?

Very much still in progress, but making something akin to active_storage / carrierwave but for Dotnet (getting familiar with the dotnet core ecosystem). I think by the end of the month it'll be pretty darn usable, but want to add

Selling to restaurants to convince them to onboard to your platform is a slow, expensive process that's neither easy nor guaranteed. GrubHub has acquired many other companies (e.g. Eat24) in the past purely for the relationships/b

Yeah, I'm thinking higher level, for sure, rather than limitations of the language - fair to call out. You can specify UTF-8 as the default charset (unless you mean for identifiers?) and Grall does exist for AOT.

The ecosystem of supporting libraries for Java is bigger than any other ecosystem. There's a mature library for every concept in existence. The Node ecosystem has a lot, but for server-side libs it still doesn't reach the coverage

I think this is pretty natural. When it's fresh and you're learning a lot, programming is easy to keep fixated on. It's very instant-gratification early on. As you progress, the low hanging fruit dries up and goals have longe
