> Java ... because it's an enterprise language I'm not sure that's the main factor. Compared to C# & C++? I don't think "enterprise" has much to do with it.

I'd love to see an age distribution of Java develops vs the other languages. My impression is more experienced developers test their code more often. My other impression is some other developers have large egos and think "I don&#x

To echo this: When I was in college at NJIT I had access to a building, with roof access, 10G networking, head of networking was a friend, battery backup, and staff members on site at all times [0] and attempted to figure out what we'd

What if you had a pool of anonymous employee-contributed data about title + pay + benefits that showed you where you were on the distribution? Would you contribute to, and view, that.

A great example of this is Jane Street. They write "all" of their software in OCaml. They have a 2 week up-to-speed course about their tools and language. I don't expect it to take too much effort to get up to speed in any la

People with that much money are no longer subject to the influences of capitalism. Their own irrational behavior will eventually bring them down but that's, in most cases, going to take longer than they're going to be alive for.

Is diffblue AI based or is it just property based testing? I assume that since it's limited to Java that they just decompile the opcodes and find what branches each method has and writes a test that calls each method with all possible

I've spoken to some who say they need real time stream processing off of MQTT backed by a Spark cluster..... To store ~10 messages/second. I've reduced infra costs and improved perf by just turning it into an API with a retry

Something that has always puzzled me: how do so many incompetent CTOs get into the ground floor of startups? I've met more than one and I just don't understand it. There's readily many extremely competent technical people I k

You can dynamically turn on and off things with MaaS and monitor power though most UPSs.

Do you plan on having some support for hermetic and reproducability? That's the main thing Bazel brings to the table and I'd like to see some solutions that can scale to hundreds of services like that

And, in general, adding a source file can automatically insert a record into the build system if you follow a convention.

It will be interesting to see how things shake out. I haven't used Nix much so I don't know how easy it is to do iterative development (change, build, run, repeat) for apps (web, Android, iOS) or services (binaries, containers)

(Opinion is my own) It's very different between teams. My personal experience: everyone I've worked with is trying really hard to put me in a position where I can succeed. I've been put on very visible projects (from day one)

Don't use services that lock you in. Instead use a layer that abstracts that. In the past I think I have heard of people using Presto for similar operations and that can be self hosted. I would never build a company on top of tech I ca

In my experience I haven't bought into anything like that. The most I've done is paid for a hosted DB which is a complexity I could offload to many different companies. I haven't used any services that have lock in, I've

Kube gives you portability. You can move away if you need to. Very difficult to do that with AWS Fargate.

Kuma is probably fine but I haven't used it so I'd probably use other tools I had used in the past. For example: cilium & stuff by weave.

Blaze and Cider are really amazing though. Consistently my favorite tools I use by and large. I wish the OSS world adopted bazel more so "what language do we use" is less of a problem.

> The generated code is no longer source code. Giving it an appearance of source code and even distributed as source code, is wrong. Yes, exactly.

by gravypod 5y ago
The reason this is a pain is the projects doing that were already starting from a broken position. The code gen should be entirely managed by the build system. You should never need to modify or look at the generated code. If you need to c

GitLab ultimate is a Jira competitor, not a GitHub competitor. GitLab Premium is ($19/month + runners + [optional] self hosting) vs ($21/month + possibly leaking your code/secrets in copilot). And, in my opinion, GitLab CI ha
