Before 2020, vaccines referred to things like attenuated viruses - you were basically being given a small weakened dose of the actual pathogen to prime your immune system. mRNA shots are a different animal and they are quite new.

I have worked extensively with FP and non FP codebases with LLM. I find my highly type safe FP code works really really well with LLMs

sounds like a recipe for over-commenting. The code should be self-documenting. Comments are for the places where there are dragons.

my LLM does this pretty well with my coaching. i use a good model and i encourage it to make such improvements. and since the llm is trained on human maintainers it works fine.

The stuff i dreamed of doing but was smart enough to avoid in Java many years ago, is what I now use FP to do on the JVM, in scala, without any of the drawbacks of AOP. if i was stuck in java languiage on the jvm for some reason i could se

yes and the proof was the spam email phoning home to russia. or, whatever other hoaxes they cooked up along the way. strangely most of them didnt make it into the trial where he was acquitted.

" it may be hard to believe that merely a few decades ago the most convenient way to keep track of time was a mechanical watch." I guess quartz is more convenient if you often take the watch off for more than a day. But my swiss a

Large codebases are much easier to manage with type safety. Not a fan of Go but definitely much better than python in this regard.

Java has always given good performance for most of my use cases. Like backend servers where startup time is mostly irrelevant.
