The role of CEOs is to receive praise for every achievement, but also blame when things go wrong. It's a high risk, high reward position that most people can't handle. Since it's not possible to blame AI, no ChatGPT can'

Confused about this decision. Why not take the money and then do only DEI activities that don't break the law?

> TO be fair there are lots of other things that require a response from an API before responding to the request and therefore async reduces resource usage over threads or multi-process. Agreed. However, these are rare and many people ha

A lot of people moved from Flask to FastAPI because the latter is built for async workloads by default. So, people expected massive performance improvements because the word async was associated with performance. In reality, people ended up

I didn't get anything apart from a bunch of spam emails. I stopped putting my email address in the post, now I don't get any emails. Could also mean that I don't have the right skills though.

True, it does seem like Rails introduced configuration-free token based CSRF protection, which "solved" CSRF for traditional server rendered apps. I believe the new technique is easier to use for SPA architectures because you no l

I agree with this post, but how do we convince decision makers to use simpler solutions? Here's what happened to me not long ago: A person contacted me to build a tool that will have a single user. After some questioning, the person sa

I used to love the Django ORM when I didn't know any SQL. Then I had to learn SQL so that I could model data properly, and optimize access patterns. These days I hate working with the ORM because it uses weird abstractions that make yo

I see, so the rendering logic is performed mostly on the back-end when using Datastar. It makes sense now, thanks.

I mostly agree with this. TS works great in large enterprises where developers don't trust each other. But if you're working on your own, or in a small team where you can easily agree with each other, TS just becomes unnecessary o

Any diet book can help you lose weight, but keeping the weight off is the real challenge. Most people gain back more weight than they lose after ending a diet. As someone who went from 100kg to 85kg, I know how challenging it is to maintain

One bug that comes to mind is when you edit your profile in Konsole and click Apply, then close Konsole, the setting is lost. But if you click Ok instead of Apply, the setting is saved. However, sometimes the setting is saved when you click

This is a quirk that could cause data loss in rare scenarios but basically, in most cases, you'll have a single instance of your application because your load balancer will only send traffic to the other instances if the main instance

One reason I use SQLite in production is because of Litestream. I can setup 2 or more VPSes hosting my Django app backed by the same SQLite database behind a load balancer for redundancy. Thanks to Litestream, it's easier to scale hori

I don't get it. The title says "What makes Claude Code so damn good", which implies that they will show how Claude Code is better than other tools, or just better in general. But they go about repeating the Claude Code docume

Many people are confused about the usefulness of 1M tokens because LLMs often start to get confused after about 100k. But this is big for Claude 4 because it uses automatic RAG when the context becomes large. With optimized retrieval thanks

These tricks are a little too much for me. I'd rather just write the code myself instead of opening 20 tabs with different LLM chats each. However, I'd like to mention a tool called repomix ( https://repomix.com/ ),

I'm not a fan of SQLAlchemy because of the Data Mapper pattern, and abstractions that force you to still think in terms of SQL tables and expressions. For example, in Django I can have a User object. I want a update the user's fir
