I completely agree. The fact that there are so many abstractions that compile/transpile into javascript is also a big red flag. What other languages do you see that in? And then of course there is the horrible standard library, where t

Sounds to me like you don't understand how git works. If GitHub shuts down, people will just use a different server to host their repository, such as gitlab. The guy in charge of making the decision weighed the fact that it's clo

Are you suggesting that all functional code is readable/more readable? It has its merits for sure, but I have seen many functional monstrosities... some that have even caused plenty of negative work themselves!

Why was this downvoted? It's a reasonable concern when "LWN subscriber-only content" is in bold at the top.

I never said humans should read it, just that it's human readable. And of course requirements.txt is technically human readable, but the problem is that it breaks scripts if you do anything other than pip freeze to it. This is obviou

While we're on the topic... the name requirements.txt is so generic and undescriptive. It breaks the principle of least astonishment. Something like packages.pip would make more sense.

by cx1000 10y ago
I agree that working at a startup for equity is akin to the lottery, but the perks of startups are so much better than big companies. Catered lunch, free food in the kitchen, kegs onsite, etc. I could never go back to a cubicle with no wind
