My whole heart agrees. I’ve often chalked this up to founders following the money. If everything is secondary to that — if it’s not for the love of software — you become bedfellows with technical debt and flashy bloatware. But you have some

I have had plenty of problems making cross platform apps — and that’s my specialty and my niche, I do it every day. Not just cross platform, but across embedded devices, browsers, servers; truly cross platform. I have, instead, found the pl

I hate the whole javascript ecosystem to the core. Hey I just finished my progressive web app with these 10 cool react components I found on NPM which fit surprisingly well into our startup’s cloud-native Vue interface. I tried to put the c

I am fundamentally skeptical of anything that needs a runtime for anything other than security and profiling. I am extra skeptical of any framework that needs 50mb memory baseline. I am triple skeptical of anything that uses brand-new packa

I often feel like my primary language, c++, is somewhere between niche and mainstream. It leaves ample opportunities to do something in a niche way. I am often disenchanted after reading many open-source, ostensibly high-quality c++ librari

Agreed. I think there’s a way to support the FSF’s mission while disapproving of and pushing against the leadership. What compounds this is that there are no direct alternatives to the FSF. The EFF comes close, but it’s different. It’s a cl

I checked this link about a month show. I hoped they’d have reached their goal by now. As programmers, it is important to field support for Free Software.

As of writing there is no disclosure of any particular license on their website for sublime text. I must have overlooked this. While most of my programming is over ssh with vim, I’ve very much enjoyed Sublime on my own systems. Minimalism a

Luckily, because my clients postpone my bills for months and try to settle for less I don’t have to worry about things like being “over invested” or “in a bubble.”

Honest answer: of course it is, and no serious developer is arguing otherwise. I just finished shipping an industrial lighting unit for “smart farms.” I worked extensively on embedded hardware. The most advanced processor I used was armv6,

The purpose of C was to be an optimizable low-level language. If programmers wanted those things, the sense was always one of “ok, do it yourself and use it as a library.” There are definite pros and cons to that particular standards method

I agree with everything you raise here. C is a dinosaur that should be left to museums. But I’m really, really tired of people comparing c interchangeably with c++ — and, more than anything else, if you have a good idea please just make a p

This thought has been churning around in my mind for some years now — we focus too much on processing speed and reductions in time complexity and not enough on increasing the size and efficiency of our cache and stack . MM (especially MM o

I see some rust, c, c++ arguments in these comments. It’s getting tired. This is the second time this morning that I’ve stumbled across that particular flame war. I understand that security and memory safety are important and necessary ar
