I'm not a full-time Gopher but I had a similar thought a few weeks ago, this idea of just having template partials for components and maybe a function constructor. Templ has a similar feeling but you can get most of what you want with

That's a rather reductionist view of it. Companies don't exist in a vacuum, they have a social contract. It seems in your view there's nothing we can complain about them as we can always just not buy the drugs, freeing them o

I’d also go as far as saying most of the value added to these open core projects is contributed by employees of the companies themselves. The fact that they do it out in the open with the possibility of someone else forking it is a plus, we

In the app I work on a huge percentage (60% in the timeframe I analyzed) of the errors are errors a type system would catch. Nil references, long method chains where the middle call returns a different object than expected, bad refactorings

I'm becoming interested in comparative mythology and religious historiography, it seems you have some pointers in this area. Do you have any books to recommend? I'm very interested in a materialistic explanation of religion, the r

Do you have some idea of how many jobs per minute or hour do you have? Just want to compare with what we have on Redis at work. Do you also have any idea on the concurrency? How many workers you have pulling from Postgres. I’ve used this ap

Set theory might seem almost mundane in many cases, but it's really powerful to express certain solutions in a very concise way. I've refactored code into much simpler code by just thinking about it in terms of set manipulation, v

Since you mentioned them I think it's worth telling people to take those benchmarks with a larger grain of salt. They've become such a pissing contest that I don't know if they can be called "real-world". There does

Companies should devote actual work time for studying, because relying on personal time is not just unethical, but inefficient. It's way cheaper to pay people to study in-house than paying for outside training or bootcamps. Not everyon

There should be a lot more focus on "total cost of ownership" of Ruby/Python/JavaScript. Yes, it is faster to develop initially, but after N years and an established product that development speed gets outweighed by othe

One reason would be reliability. Almost all of the errors on the application I work on are nil references or errors that were expected, but just weren't handled. Rust forces you to handle those at compile time, ending with a better all

Although I agree in part, usually new languages are brought in not just because they’re hyped, but because they provide better abstractions to deal with the complexity that made the original codebase unmaintainable. That’s certainly the cas

Can’t you “vendor” the crate and compile it yourself? Much like cargo does with workspaces, setting the local path to it. I’m still learning the Rust environment but usually vendoring is what you do when you want full control.

I have the opposite experience, though in a different country than yours. Most people I've met in the industry that did not have a formal education (or an interest in one) would end up scratching the surface and not really dig deeper.

Vultr has some very cheap offerings and maybe worth a look. I can't speak to their reliability or service, but they have DCs everywhere even in South America and Africa where there are few cloud options outside of AWS. They're mor

Similarly, but on the opposite spectrum, I also wonder how far you can go on vertical scaling nowadays. For 200 EUR/month on Hetzner you get a dedicated 80-core ARM CPU, 128GB ECC RAM, 2TB SSD...using a good performance multi-threaded

To be fair you can learn outside your job. I wouldn't call him lazy just because he stuck with a company for a long time. Most jobs will only require a small percentage of a programmers' knowledge, so people supply their urges wit

I learned about computer architecture in my CS curriculum. It seems there’s great variance to these courses, so it’s hard to assume your experience is the same everywhere. Mine had a good deal of practical applications, prefaced by theory.

That’s not a great way to look at it. You can be passionate about the craft and not passionate about the product. You can usually find interesting problems relating to craftsmanship even when doing things you’re not thrilled to do. Let’s be
