Why wouldn’t you just bundle your shared dependencies in libraries so you would only have to update them in one location anyway? We put all our shared utilities into service libraries which are injected into our microservices when they are

I think that most of what Microsoft does today on the developer front is focused on getting enterprise developers ever more integrated into azure. I live in a very Microsoft heavy part of Denmark, and the result is that virtually everyone u

I wouldn’t worry about using FastAPI. Not that your point is wrong but the code base isn’t exactly large and it’s entirely open source. If the project goes off road or something you can always continue on your own fork. I’m not sure why you

Many of us in software development work in companies/organisations of sufficient size that IT-operations will enforce a Windows policy because it fits with their entire infrastructure. I don’t mind too much, these days windows doesn’t

I’m too unfamiliar with Xcode to know much about it. Do you need it to release software for macs? I’m not sure how Apple gets away with forcing people to pay $99/yr to be able to let people install software without getting a warning. I

Don’t you need an Apple developer account to get certificates to sign your stuff? If so that might explain it since that would be… what $300 a year? On top of likely having to go through the whole Apple Store acceptance process.

In my experience it depends a lot more on what you prompt it with rather than the language itself. As soon as you task it with something where your prompt doesn’t hit the right marks, I’ll go into its “inventive” mode and simply make stuff

I use LLMs quite a lot to help me in my work, but they are wrong so often that it’s ridiculous. This isn’t a major issue when you’re an expert using the tools to be more efficient, because you’ll spot and laugh at the errors it makes. Somet

It was also the inspirational name behind a multitude of “hacker” (really more like tinker) communities back around the millennium. I’m not sure where these went, maybe they were killed by social media, but there used to be a lot of 2600 na

I’m not sure exactly why this is being downvoted. It seems pretty fair to want your container builds to not fail because of the “chaos” with docker images and how they change quite a lot. This isn’t about the freedom to build how you want,

The phone networks and basic infrastructure for the internet in many countries wouldn’t work without Erlang. Which is functional… but maybe that doesn’t count?

Techs often maintain their position because of their spread which causes a self-sustaining environment . In my region of the world C# was very popular in the early 00’s and most companies who used it then still use it today. As a result the

I think the easiest way to think of it is having a single word mantra that you repeat while you meditate to keep your focus on meditation and not let your mind wander in different directions. If you try the single word mantra thing you’ll p

In my experience people read the JSON output of things more often than anything else in both development and in maintenance. You can certainly make a point about that being stupid, and it certainly also is stupid. It just seems to be what h

As horrible as this is, I suspect this will be far worse in enterprise companies. We’ve already seen issues with email impersonation where top managers or CEOs order money transfers, and since this works better than it should, we now use co

Have you changed an organisation from the bottom up? In two decades I’ve never seen it happen in organisations larger than 50 people. You can change something, like how an engineering team works and how an organisation does DevOps and other

I think the word “open” is sort of a misrepresentation of what the company is today. I don’t mind personally but I can also see why people in the OSS community would. Now, I’m not too concerned with any of the large LLM companies and their

I’m not quite sure what it is that you’re asking. When you want to show something in a browser, you go through this process: JavaScript -> style -> layout -> paint -> composite. The browser will construct a render tree and then

We use a lot of typescript with a very opinionated setup on coding style and conventions, but that only goes so far when you’re dealing directly with the dom. Because the dom is notoriously hard to work with. The internet is full of blog po

They are just employees on some level, but they are also typically owners with a lot of risk on the table themselves. Even if they come in with what would be “a lot” of money to most of us, it can’t compete with investment capital. We build

Legislation has always been extremely slow when it concerns major corporations. Partly because there isn’t a great public incentive to really care about Apple vs Spotify, which means there is less political focus and in term less allocated

I think what they meant was that you can build home offices which can sort of be “folded” away once you’re done with them. I have an office space in the living room which is what you wouldn’t want, we’ve sort of hidden it with some book she

> The funny thing is that being quickly opinionated is highly valued in tech I don’t really agree with this in the context you seem to put it. It’s not that it’s completely wrong, it’s just that engineers who rub non-engineers the wrong

I’d recommend getting into role playing and paying attention to how good game masters get their players to elaborate on what sort of actions they want to take.

I think your question is a very hard one to answer because you bundle a bunch of rather complicated things together in it. Europeans in general are probably more privacy concerned than Americans. Well, sort of. Where Americans, really, real

I’m primarily a backend developer these days, because that’s just how it’s played out where I work. But we’ve made the choice to do most things with Typescript since it lets us share resources, libraries and cooperate better with code reuse

I worked in the Danish public sector for a decade and we didn’t really adhere to this. That being said, the more pricing tiers you have and the more complicated it is to buy your product the less likely we will even try it. Aside from that

Isn’t it always hallucinating though? We just don’t care when it gets it “right”. As I understand it, it’s still just probability based on what is likely to be a good set of words to answer the prompt tasking it. It doesn’t actually know an

To many Danes (everyone I’ve ever discussed it with) Americans are simply “ridiculous” in the way you keep electing people who hurt you. It’s like you’re in a continuous abusive relationship with your own democracy. My wife and I just had t
