I think you should be asking about their work, and try to understand their business processes rather than what they want from your software. Then you can spot their pain points and develop features for those. I know this is easier when you’

I use the MS app for work, as it’s required as you say. I’m not sure our first-line support really minds though, as if people weren’t using this then they would be supporting a range of apps. It’s obviously unfortunate that it sort of sucks

Having nullability has its own set of issues. I prefer explicit error handling to null checks. That being said, I don’t think there is really that much of a difference in that you might use Interface as a JS Any sort of thing in Go (it’s ob

We incorporated all the different ways they wanted as feature flagged options. Then it was very easy to remove them when they asked us to do that. I get where you come from though. What we tend to do is to stage/gate things so that dif

Technically there is only one. Our tax agency happened to actually audit one city, and then all the others after it was revealed that the first one did indeed break the law.

Just wait till you learn that law isn’t really law. I once worked on an OSS project for 8 municipalities to handle employee work related driving. The Danish tax law on the area is short and the simplest law text I’ve ever read, and we imple

Should they care? I’ve come into organisations that had spent entire years worth of man hours on setting things up correctly so that they could potentially scale to millions of concurrent users. Organisations which would never reach more th

I think that one of the biggest issues is that a lot of training is flat out horrible. The author preaches simplicity and working directly with the business, but mean while you have entire teams of developers being taught something like Cle

After three decades in software development I can happily say that I can’t remember the last time I was stuck chasing data in some abstraction hellhole. It’ll never seize to amaze me just how much self-flagellation OOP enjoyers are willing

I’d go with puppeteer for your use case as it’s the easier option to set up browser automation with. But it’s not like you can really go wrong with playwright or selenium either. Playwright only really gets better than puppeteer if you’re d

In Denmark there often is, things like localised sales the 4-8 times a year a specific store celebrates its birthday or similar. You can scan their PDF brochures but you would need image recognition for most of them, and some well trained r

I think a major source of the problem is academia. I’m an external examiner for CS students in Denmark, and they are basically still taught the OOP and onion architecture way of building abstractions up front. Which is basically one of the

It depends a lot on what you work on and how you program. Virtually none of our software has actual coding errors, and when developers write new parts or change them, it’s always very obvious if something breaks. Partly because of how few a

I think this is a fairly valid point. From my own anecdotal perspective I don’t much like “gardening” but when we wanted to grow vegetables we did research enough to know that this product is basically a waste of money. If you want a self-w

I used to write for one of the bigger Danish gaming sites back near 2000. Some of my articles even made it to some of our national news papers which contracted particularly well written reviews back then. One of the first thing I was told b

Gotta give the hemorrhoid doctors some work. Ideally you should finish your business rather fast, but I think a lot of people simply find a nice break on the toilet. Obviously food has an impact but if any type of *vore has long shits it’s

It’s been like that since August 2000 when they launched their premium sponsorship program, which was replaced by AdWords later that year. I’m not sure you can fully blame Google for what the web became though. Part of the reason search eng

In some ways I think you can make the argument that we never really moved away from slavery as such. Not really. I’m typing this on an iPhone which is full of components that were mined/created/packaged/shipped by a lot of pe

As someone who has worked in non-tech startup transitioning into enterprise, or enterprise organisarions for decades… I can tell you that non of these companies or organisations are capable of making meaningful interactions with operations.

I’m not going to discourage your move to svelte, but we do solar data from over a thousand plants and over a million inverter datapoints supplying literal fuckton of data every minute. We combine this with financial data from over 20 countr

I used to sort of like the Azure GUI (yes I’m a total psychopath), but then they changed it 9 billion times and now I just use the CLI. It’s frankly often experiences like this which drives me back to the cli. I like Gitkraken, but the it d

This is the “enterprise” approach and it’s a solid one in my book. I do think drop-ins like Bun and PNPM are always great, however, and we’ve adopted both where it has made sense. I don’t think Bun will make sense very often as it’s only wh

I’m Danish so this might not apply to an American context, or even a non-Danish context. I’ve been on the hiring side of things a few times, and I’ve worked in a lot of different organisations, and what I personally look for these days is c

It’s rarely that sinister on the political level in my experience. Having worked a decade in the Danish public sector with access to the higher echelons of decision making I’ve never really witnessed influence or blatant corruption amongst

I didn’t mean the EU being regulatory as negative, I was just giving examples of how the cyberpunk I read in the 90ies is basically reality now.

Cyberpunk was always the “real sci-fi” in terms of what was actually going to happen wasn’t it? Murder drones, corporations having more power than nation states, the EU block becoming regulatory, climate havoc, the gig economy and a continu

I disagree with this take because LLMs are, always, hallucinating. When they get things right it’s because they are lucky. Yes, yes, it’s more complicated than that, but the essence of LLMs is that they are very good at being lucky. So good

It’s not really an article is it? It’s more like a long twitter post about how having to use react and tailwind sucks. Which is weird because as you point out, you don’t have to use either. I’d also argue that you’ll still need to know how
