The iteration has already been done . Safety rules exist because somebody has died and had it written in their blood. Failure to read the literature gets people killed. This is reckless and it is stupid and excusemaking for it has no moral

Maybe, sure. TBH, the case I am more worried than most about is that the actual, biggest use of this will be , not might but will , addiction-mongers in the games space suckering people into downloading apps that are uninhibited by even t

Loners Georg are outliers and, if you are caring about and optimizing for attention and growth, should not be counted. For every one person who's never used those, I can throw a rock and bounce it off a dozen who have.

As I mentioned in a sibling, I quite like Zulip. But its problem is pretty simply that people have limited attention span, willingness to change, and most people in the tech space already have Slack on the brain and Discord is probably at l

I'm OK with it being difficult because that weeds out people who lack the technical capacity to do it, and thus also almost certainly lack the understanding to critically evaluate the safety of it. A below-average software developer is

Don't take this as an endorsement of BDUF practices and the like, they're as fraught as anything, but it's important to also recognize what modern development practices trend hard towards themselves: the trapping of oneself

As much as I do think that software architecture does matter (though it should probably be somebody with a staff or principal hat, not a specific job title) I recently took a job at a place that really does like architect titles. Mine'

Absolutely true. That said, in practice, if you can hit a high score (usually extremely high anyway), you can hit the next one. It doesn't get harder to do, you just have to be consistent.

I've seen `!!` and I've seen `!`, but what would `!!!` get you here that the other two don't?

This is true, but FWIW (it probably wouldn't save you here, too much is changing too fast) something like a SQL materialized view can very often give you both the chocolate and the peanut butter.

No, that one is true. JS automatic semicolon insertion is dumb. return <p> A JSX paragraph </p> is a common mistake from novices; it'll return void/undefined. In TypeScript, at least, you

This is a Good Post, and honestly your last point includes one of the things that I (as an American, and generally critical of our own foreign adventurism) am most astonished by. We have culturally never expected much of NATO to stand up to

For making new stuff, I agree with you that it's pretty nutty. I'd never ask it to try to invent something novel, the way this does, because it's pretty high-noise. I do think it has significant programming advantages insof

Ideally, but now you're trusting the edge. It can be done. It's also a lot harder, and requires a lot more investment in places that were not considered things to care about when those old systems were created. Some things have
