I think part of the reason C# has changed so much as far as the language goes, not the CLR is actually because they took so many good things from Typescript and mixed them into the language. I think part of the reason Typescript has become

This is where the less than premium options come into play isn’t it? You can present product with a plan of what they want, and the consequences and cost. You should also present them with other options, which could be an extra toilet or si

This is not what I said at all. I completely agree with the article on how you should present options to product and the customer, and then let them decide. In your example product and the customer comes with the solution on how to build it

The dollar sign isn’t a prefix in many EU countries. It’s so weird to learn that currencies go first. Then again, I still don’t understand a single American measurement either so why wouldn’t it be weird? Seriously, I have no idea what a mi

Plumbers do have the advantage of being third parties though. As a side note, I have no idea what you mean by /r/plumbing. Is that something that I should know?

We agree, but we’ve come to different conclusions. Probably based on our experiences. Which is why I wanted to convey that I think you should do these things in moderation. I almost never do classes, and much rarer inheritance, as an exampl

What often happens, however, is that when a customer asks for a new bathroom. Engineering will point out that they won’t need it in a year because the customers children at moving out age. Not considering that both the customer and product

What makes you think you know more about customer needs than the people working directly with the customers? I think we sort of agree though. I think presenting product with various options and letting them decide includes a lot of what you

I disagree with this take. It’s software engineerings job to figure out, how, to do it, not if it should be done. A plumber isn’t going to refuse adding another bathroom to your house, they’re going to tell you how it can be done and tell y

I find that it’s typically the other way around as things like DRY, SOLID and most things “clean code” are hopeless anti-patterns peddled by people like Uncle Bob who haven’t actually worked in software development since Fortran was the mos

What I dislike about single databases is that it’s too easy for people to build unnecessary relationships. You obviously don’t have to do it and there are a lot of great tools to separate data. That’s not what people are going to do on a Th

Well, I guess the side of my argument which is missing by my anecdotal experiences is that monoliths is what I work on because it was the trend. It’s probably easier to fix the complicated mess of a monolith than a complicated mess of micro

If your goal is to use just one language then why wouldn’t you pick JavaScript (likely Typescript), C# with Blazor, Go with templates or basically anything on the JVM? Rust is a bad general purpose language in my opinion, and its performanc

I disagree rather strongly with this advice. Mostly because I’ve spent almost a decade earning rather lucrative money on cleaning up after companies and organisations which did it. Part of what you say is really good advice, if you’re not F

It’s kind of hard to really calculate the P/E for OpenAI as there are more factors in it than usual. Companies like Microsoft and Nvidia likely don’t care too much about their returns considering huge parts of their investments go dire

I think that there are a lot of issues with the way Duolingo motives people through unhealthy incentives, but research does show that it works. Though it will need to be used in conjunction with other methods of learning to be truly helpful

This is only true to an extend. We have a lot of digitally inclined workers who’re developing programs or scripts to handle a lot of things for them. It’s imperfect and often wildly insecure and inefficient, but unlike any previous no-code

I think the difference between development for a “real” OS is that windows is still mainly owned by its customers. Similar to how MacOS is. On MacOS people can still install your applications even if you don’t pay the Apple tax to avoid the
