Nice, your example is cleaner than mine for sure. My example was copied from some code I'd written but looking at it again it's more verbose than necessary. Re: compile time vs runtime errors, it is a valid point. In Scala (which

I've also found std::get_if to be halfway decent in terms of readability. You end up with a if/else-if block that looks a bit like an ugly verbose pattern match: if (const auto sPtr (std::get_if<std::string>(&myVari

There’s a little up-arrow for sharing on the top right next to the real domain name, clicking that gives a Copy option with the actual URL. Annoying but handy once you find it.

For sure, the compilation times can get pretty bad with Scala, although I haven't found it too terrible on smaller prototype projects (I agree its still quite slow compared to some other languages though). These day's I've be

Scala also shines for this style of development. Sealed traits and case classes (algebraic data types) are a nice way to express many different types of data models, including polymorphic types and state machines (its surprising how many &

If you’ve been looking for a while I think it’s totally normal to get some deep depression regardless of how you identify. Interviewing is stressful and draining and feels incredibly arbitrary. Also, at least in the US, your employment is a

Glad to see this here. I used to work at Kontena, the original creators of Lens, and it’s nice to see some of their products live on. The quality of code and UX was top notch, the container orchestration / k8s space is just rough to co

Strongly recommend “Rant” by Chuck Palahniuk. It takes a little effort to get into the testimonial style writing but unfolds into an epic tale of dystopia, time travel and traffic.

Right, I was thinking the same thing, that you can easily just upload the file. The reason I thought of it is I showed this to my wife (who absolutely loves this btw!) and she immediately seemed confused when I explained the need to export

Really love this, nice job! Curious, do you have any interest in having the ability to import/export from the various cloud storage vendors (Dropbox, GDrive, possibly even Github Gist), or do you feel like it would go against the offli

I don’t know, I think most of the high level points made in the article (caching, know your SQL/ORM, memory management and algorithm complexity) apply to almost any web application and framework once you hit some level of scale.

I guess this line of thinking might be reasonable when hiring young people, where college is still a recent memory. I dropped out of college. There were a number of reasons, but really it just boiled down to the fact that I was not a mature

Serious question: why does starting a company equate to changing the world? The vast majority of companies sell some good or service for a fee, which is of course super important for society but not exactly world changing. I guess the hope
