Well, the most basic pro is to avoid indentation and have pure function which are clear and have less assumption to take into account; if I know that my pipes always return me a result such as the one I want, and the "bad path" is

Can't you 'compose' together the various errors inside the `Failure` and inspect it at the end of the pipe?

Good luck checking for `None` equality and indent your code like 5 times... a sort of railway programming[0] avoids the awkward checks for values, making functions work with higher order types. 0: https://www.greenbird.com/n

A similar "framework", very robust and used in production systems, is dry-python's one[0][1]. The approach taken is a bit different I think, since they rely heavily on `mypy` plugins to reach type safety and functional constr

+1. As software engineers I think we should explore more the part of our skills that can create things that are not useful per-se, but creative and funny, such as the best gifts (at least for me) are

Love FastAPI for lot of concepts that it helped to make mainstream, such as typing-based-validation, but its documentation is lacking. I love the tutorials, but an API reference is just as important; I may not want to check out long tutoria

Are those alternatives faster according to benchmark? In my experience, the bottleneck is either: - JSON parsing and dumping; the solution for me is ORJSON, fantastic wrapper to use fast JSON serialisation for most common fields, and also d

Well, I strongly believe in testing all the queries/transactions (for example the repository pattern is super helpful to separate concerns and allow you to test only what concern your queries and the DB); but those are tested separatel

Great article, not the first time I read this argument against the usage of mocks; I never understood though how to solve the problem of the explosion of the path that must be tested (usually exponential). As an example, consider a single A

I may be an average corporate backend dev, but if anyone I work with would react in this way after any kind of mistake I did, I would report the situation / leave immediately. Honest feedback is surely key to keep quality, innovation,

Very interesting, thanks for the clear answer! Love the fact that you make it easier for the customer to get a refund through your process, than through the refund one; I do not work in this space and offering free refunds for my product co

Kudos for the donation to charity! I wonder how the other for-profit in this space keep their business running, considering the amount of disputes that must come from users. For example, I know that Stripe is very strict on the disputes per

After ~2y of professional experience, I don't think that there is huge hard skill gap between non-professional and professional devs. The biggest thing is understanding that you may work on a single tool in ~10/100 people, so you

100% agree on this and that's my point. Was that code merged without any review? If so, that is a recipe for disaster. Why no unit tests, integration tests, QA? What was the speed at which the outage was resolved? If a sane deployment

The fact that an individual can bring production down is 1000% a problem in the process; outages should not attributed to single commits but to a series of problems in the process. Just saying this since the number of times someone being pr

Did not know it existed, extremely cool indeed! By skimming it I still think Pulumi might have a better Dev UX, but surely Terraform is still catching up

Any performance benchmark? I know it is hard to compare, but I do wonder if it is actually already faster than MongoDB.

Any suggestions to learn and go deep in PostgreSQL for someone who worked mostly on NoSQL (MongoDB)? From the few days I have explored it, it is absolutely incredible, so congratulations for the work done and good luck on keeping the qualit

I had a similar experience, with 10-12 days of mild symptoms (up to 40°C fever), but the general feeling of tiredness and the infamous "brain fog" stayed for 3-4 weeks (it's not completely gone yet). Definitely one of the wor

This is so true and my experience completely checks out with it. I started trying out Linux with the usual Ubuntu / Linux Mint distros, but I got so confused by the lack of structure and understanding of what is the correct way to do t

I skimmed the contents, but I don't get any alternative to the standard calories counting. It's the only way to quantify the intake without revolutionising the food industry packaging, or am I missing something?

Some fast implementations in C++? In particular, I tried in the last weeks to work on a OpenMP / MPI driven CSV parser, but surely accounting for new lines inside quotes can be a pain the ass, I'm wondering if there's a go-to

I think productivity enhancements are really tightly coupled with the domain and type of activity you are doing. For example, as a university student, I noticed that timing the number of hours I pass on each topic is useful for 1. understan
