> domain-specific services are superior to task-specific microservices Can you elaborate on that? Isn't "messaging" or "image processing" a task?

Sounds like modules to me.

When you want to view (or display) all possible combinations. It doesn't make much sense for example with relations that describe things that happened or are (facts). For example you wouldn't cross join a users and addresses table

If the author is reading this: The first (oldest) post on the blog index is still a Moogle tutorial/example post. I suggest to delete/unpublish it.

All good! English is not my first language, plus if we all had these conversations face to face, we wouldn’t have to guess the tone.

Poor choice of words on my part I guess. To clarify, I didn't mean suspicious in the sense of expecting malicious behavior, rather than in the sense of not being overly optimistic about this type of progress, because I think it is very

It's interesting to me that there is not as much push back against Rust from the kernel. Linus (I guess everyone addresses him with his first name), has been very critical, even dismissive of systems programming languages other than C.

Just to be sure: GPL doesn’t prevent anyone from selling.

I agree. I‘m guilty of doing so, because I found them bizarre and impudent. They are like a window into another grotesque and worrisome world, but I still had to look.

The deal is that he is a comedian first but also gives advice that is often superficial but serious enough so there is some value to it for beginner developers. It’s both satire and seemingly genuine encouragement. Most importantly he seems

I like the term "design damage" in regards to programming. Reminds me of my father telling me to take care of my things, when I was a child. It is much easier to clean up and order things if we do it continuously, because the impl

It's less of an analogy on financial debt than it is just using the word more generally as in "I'm forever in your debt!" or "You owe me!". It is not always a financial statement. The implication is that someth

It would have to be in the same range of what is suggested, small patches and opt in. If snippets are a legal problem, then Copilot is problematic by default, since it suggests code that may or may not be sourced from free software.

Those are layman’s concerns. Programmers love to learn new things and are typically good at it. If a given tech has merit and some unique advantages. Edit: I didn’t read the comment right. Productivity and being able to solve precise proble

There is a significant, qualitative difference between using a language that designed for REPL use and one that isn’t. Those boundaries you talk of are the crux of the issue. A highly dynamic, completely expression based language is going t

You can use a REPL powered debugger. You can interact with the debugger to a higher degree than with most mainstream languages. It’s not quite as powerful as CL though, from what I’ve read. Or you pull out expressions and test them in isola

Some Clojure frameworks and libs do provide REPL support for things that we would otherwise expect to be CLIs, such as running migrations, (re-)starting services and so on. The startup time criticism is valid, but in context of development

Yes, they can only logically deduce correctness based on our assumptions of a given system boundary. But I think it is typically a good idea to write them down formally if you need the guarantees. They are also typically smaller and more

Maybe some bosses think of themselves as warriors. They act fast and self assured to assert dominance. The one who speaks loudest first wins. This behavior can be observed in chimps too, often the most dominant male performs the most amazin

Given a programming context we are always writing code on an abstraction layer, such a layer (which can be as granular as a language construct or a function) can accommodate features. We essentially encode our feature in terms of the given

That looks pretty cool! But I meant papers and essays from the likes of Edsger Dijsktra, Gerald Sussman, Alan Kay, Joe Armstrong, Daniel Ingalls, Peter Naur, Tony Hoare, Niklaus Wirth, Betrand Meyer, John McCarthy... and many, many others[0

On the other hand it is different for collecting interesting and influential papers and essays. You read them in an afternoon and ponder over them for quite a while! Then you revisit them way, maybe years, later again. But yes, you don‘t ne

I’ve seen macro heavy code that is very semantic and declarative. It’s a powerful tool, so it is natural that people need to learn and fail until they use it well.

Damn that’s the best objection I read so far. Writing readable code is already hard and something I aspire to.

by dgb23 5y ago
Maybe I reacted optimistically because your objections are reasonable and relatable. But I‘m still very interested in how this will actually play out. I want to see and feel it in action.

by dgb23 5y ago
No, of course not. I meant understanding what you write, while you write it. Also to add a bit of nuance: I typically spend much more time reading and thinking rather than writing. But I read REPL output, logs, test output just as much, som

Your resonse is valid and interesting, even moreso without the first sentence! I think one thing that could be added is that the metric of success is not necessarily monetary. Financial success often depends more on socioeconomic conditions

This is discussed in the article closer to the end, when it explains the balancing act of continuously recognizing the difference of productive, interesting work and tired, harmful work for the sake of work and showing off. PG also uses h

Github sources suggestions from OS projects. There have been AI completion tools that upload your code, basically spyware. Definitely check thoroughly if that’s the case!
