I don’t work on the frontend very often, I think the last time I did so was when bootstrap was “the tailwind”, but when I recently had to cover for one of our react developers I got to work with it. I genuinely didn’t think there was a diff

I’ve never seen any actual metrics on it that weren’t pseudoscience at best. If you have some I would genuinely like to see them. From my anecdotal experience YAGNI and making sure it’s easy to delete everything is the only way to build las

XP is almost the opposite or shift right, similar to how every other “agile” development form pushes the necessary work forward. I think it’s telling that none of the modern software design systems seem to have given us a world where our in

Cool thanks, I was thinking a “temp” might be more like an intern or something.

This is how it is in Denmark as well. Here the general rule of thumb is that any non-managing employee is 70-100k in expense a year. For some specialist workers it’a a little higher, but that is the general cost when you include sick days,

The only absolute rule that you’ll ever need is that you probably won’t need the abstraction you’re thinking about. To be frank though, it started with putting a function into a new module or class. I think the list is rather bad as a whole

Well… any form of serious organisation should frankly house their own Mastodon instance so that they are not moderated by a big tech company. I’m Danish, I’m not a fan of right wing politics but at the same time I find it absolutely insane

HN is a social media and was designed as such back when it was a smaller group of tech founders an angel investors sharing knowledge and opportunities. That it has since grown into what is essentially a mix of various Reddit STEM subsides o

I think boring is mostly a bad terminology for stable in these sort of arguments. Which means you get to actually focus on doing work. This author is apparently a fan of Go as an example of what they probably consider a “boring” technology

Our internal metrics show a decrease in productivity when more inexperienced developers use AI, and an increase when experienced developers with 10+ years use it. We see a decrease in code quality across experience levels which needs to be

I worked in digitalisation for a Danish city during Covid. Since I was the HR “data guy” I worked on every sort of metrics for them and sometimes had to sit through meetings just in case someone needed a technical explanation. I think that

The market is consolidating in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the challenges with the global supply lines and the increased interest rates. A lot of the smaller projects backed by semiprofessional investors will be picked up b

It depends on how you regulate the market. Part of the reason solar is still expensive on the market in Europe is because of regulations. To counter this to not kill growth you have various forms of economic incentives like tariffs for sola

It’s two decades of experience speaking. I didn’t speak about managers though. I was a manager for a couple of years before my undiagnosed ADHD made itself know when I had my first baby. Management has nothing to do with project management.

I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a project manager who wasn’t a total pseudo jobber. That is to say, I have worked with some wonderful project managers, but they got things done rather than “manage projects”. They’d be hands deep in Acti

The ethical dilemma here is probably based around “individual vs community”, but it’s hard to say when there is no knowledge of how it actually affects the “community” in the long term. The risk is that inspiring people to self-treat might

We’ve been a pretty solid TS, C#, C and C# shop which was in the process of moving some TS and all of our C# to Go to make our language package smaller. Go was a good choice for us, it’s not better than C# in any way. Then we had some organ

As I interpret this thread people aren’t so much worried about Trump as they are about the Republican leadership. Particularly the American justice system will get packed with powerful conservative judges. The US is likely going to have a S

I’m considering it for future purchases. I doubt anything will happen, but if it does it’ll be better to have something that can run GrapheneOS or similar rather than being stuck with something they can only run iOS. As far as computers go,

I never heard of any reasonable uses for Crypto or Blockchain in general. A lot of people tried to sell us various things at the time but it was very obvious that it had no real value. AI is already implemented into businesses in various wa

Oh, fair enough. It’ll depend on the situation of course. We didn’t have they much of an issue as we already had the CI/CD pipelines for the single projects which mean we could merge multiple of them into a single project fairly easily

In document recognition they’re going to replace everything that came before. A couple of years ago you needed a couple of ML experts to setup, train and refine models that could parse through things like contracts, budgets, invoices and wh

Which CI/CD pipelines have you had issues with? Because that isn’t my experience at all. With both GitHub (also Azure DevOps) and gitlab you can separate your pipelines with configurations like .gitlab-ci.yml. I guess it can be non-tri

by devjab 2y ago
I don’t think CI/CD should really be a big worry as far as mono-repositories go as you can setup different pipelines and different flows with different configurations. Something you’re probably already doing if you have multiple repos.

It’s a little hard for me to talk about Python setups which don’t use Poetry as that is basically the standard around here. I would argue that not controlling your packages regardless of the package manager you use is very poor practice. Ho

You should really add that Python is also a very good tool for people who know more performant languages. I think one of the sides which often gets forgotten is that a lot of software will never actually need to be very performant and often

I’m curious as to which packages you are unable to find older versions for. You mention snakemake, but that doesn’t seem to have any sort of issues. https://pypi.org/project/snakemake/#history

We don’t have any sort of metrics which are that personalised. I’m not sure you’re arguing against who you think you’re arguing against. I’m not defending it, I’m simply sharing how it is at our place. There are a lot of issues, if you took
