When the users/buyers of software don't actually want (sometimes for legal reasons!) agile development, then shoehorning them in results in what you describe?

You seem to be right in large parts, however other econsystems and package managers don't have the same kinds of problems to that degree, since their package names are namespaced. I'm not sure if this would solve this particular i

It’s useful to talk about representation though. Especially in a language that nudges you away from absolute references towards relative, self managed ones. A quite clever representation of a tree that I read about is to store nodes in DFS

I remember Microsoft Works better! I had it on the first computer that I owned and could do all kinds of stuff with it. Aside from Works I also got some version of Visual Basic. I still remember playing around with those programs. https:&#

When someone doesn’t have anything to say, I very much prefer that they say nothing at all. Especially in meetings.

I used sqlc with sqlite. The support seems fine there. In general, sqlc is very nice to use. It works well out of the box with a standard config. You can also override a lot of things. One of the nice extras about sqlc is that it doesn&#x27

It's interesting that people are re-inventing parts of PHP in different ecosystems around this time. There is also the astro framework for example. PHP has some properties that make it very suited for certain kinds of web development:

Roughly understanding that there is a loop that is doing work on a queue and calling your code is useful insofar that you have a mental model for the IoC that is happening. I've seen smart and capable programmers who are not used to UI

Conceptually yes. Practically speaking it’s easier to grasp. The article in question makes a good point of playing around with the concepts to dispel the magic. Asnyc/await is just syntactic sugar for promises. Promises are just wrappe

As a web developer I’m impressed by the consistency, practical beauty and the respect of users. We as technical nerds often forget how people actually interact with technology and assume way too much attention, familiarity and ability to un

> But it does always cost you something. Developer time isn't free, after all. According to the rest of the comment we seem to largely agree. But this statement is what I want to challenge a bit. Basically it comes down to this: We&

What if runtime performance and developer performance aren’t inversely proportional? It might just be to a certain degree, we’re not actually getting any business efficiency from creating bloated and slow software? A lot of things, especial

The point that I wanted to make above is that DRY has a precise meaning and we seem to talk past each other because you use a much looser definition of DRY than I. With that loose definition we think in terms of arbitrary similarity and dup

Clojure you can express arbitrary data constraints and pre/post conditions (design by contract), with spec or malli. Clojure is also strongly typed, has (optional) type hints, which are understood by linting during dev time and helps t

> Conscious duplication (often called “forking”) allows people who depend on a piece of code to change it without breaking anyone else. Then that code is DRY by definition and simpler. It can’t be Non-DRY because that would imply you’d n

The most important underlying issue isn't discussed in the article: DRY must be understood and applied correctly. "Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system" The ke

Both of the largest grocery chains in Switzerland are coops, there is also a prevalent bank and a large agricultural federation and more. But most of these are primarily consumer coops not worker coops.

by dgb23 3y ago
You are joking, but that's not untypical for worker owned businesses. There are studies about coops that show that workers are more engaged in the business and will decide to suffer temporary wage cuts in hard times (opposed to layoffs

I would have assumed that the best engineers are not afraid of being “trapped” by a specific technology. That seems like a very surface level concern to me.

A browser also has the baked in expectation of you interacting with hypertext. A video game of this caliber you are discussing is typically entitled to: - have a dowload and installation process that might span over say 20min or more - load

Semantic drift is of course a very natural thing that can’t be stopped. A very fun thing is to look up word origins of words and terms I care about. There’s often a revealing or thought provoking history. One of my favorites is the German w

Getting 38k now is very different from getting 38k over a 100years. It’s worth exactly as much as it states. Investing this money now might be beaten by inflation, competition or happenstance. But it could also grow the business and turn in

The actually ridiculous part is not that. It’s the fact that our browsers don’t solve this issue in a standardized way. Everyone who serves HTTP in the Eu and includes third party tracking, shows you an idiosyncratic consent banner. Often t
