The biggest issue with PR reviews in my experience is not how long they take, but the justifications people provide for their feedback. I don't think you should ever leave a comment if you don't have a convincing answer to "w

I completely disagree. By writing the code, the author gains understanding of the hidden details of the problem. The reviewer gets to explore a full solution that accounts for those details, and provides tests. With the context still fresh,

It's probably a version of that. But since data is assumed sorted, memory requirements almost never grow beyond one item per stream.

by hakunin 2y ago
I don’t think that can happen because all those functions assume the streams are consistently sorted.

Lazy enumeration can also save memory, because you aren’t storing entire collections during intermediate steps, and it works with infinite/unknown size collections. Such as streaming data. Some examples: I wrote a utility gem a while a

I think you don't really know what you want if you don't know why you want it. Learning to understand oneself is a huge part of one's personal growth. When you don't know the "why", it's easy to be mistake

Only issue is that when you get what you want, you might be convincing your partner(s) to settle for something they want less. Perhaps the mindset of "best I can get" and finding an acceptable compromise is the way to go.

I remember reading this jwz post[1] in 2012 where he said he never uses tabs at all, and realizing that I can use a combination of windows and tabs. So now I just have each window contain a bunch of tabs for one topic. If it's WIP, the

Weirdly, I like ligatures only in Elixir, and no other language (Ruby, Go, Javascript, etc).

Prospective and retrospective analysis are fundamentally different. It’s easy to point to successes and failures of the past, but that’s not how we predict the concrete future potential of one specific thing.

Here’s my anecdote. I built 3 production projects in elixir around 2015-2018, and it was a blast to learn and work with. Those were interesting projects that were a great fit for the stack. One was March Madness bracket game which required

That's not at all my experience. There's a one-line integration between almost everything under the sun and Rails (business/traffic analytics, performance/profilers, error notifications, logging, object storage integrati

Correction: you mean 2014, not 2024. Do you think there is no criteria worth considering besides the size of the hiring pool? What if 2 hiring pools are sufficiently big, do you still pick the bigger one every time?

You vastly underestimate what a 6yo can do. Case in point, one can understand the entire content of a book like Little Prince or Secret Garden, an entire plot of Marvel or Harry Potter movie, build 18+ yo lego sets, and play Theme Hospital

Having read the article, the team just seems more experienced with frontend than backend dev. As somewhat an old school dev, I've been noticing these small fears and misunderstandings in the way FE devs think. Honestly, I believe it on

It's really hard to be a good architect, because their job is not supposed to be to leave their mark. An architect is doing a great job when the codebase is boring, and everybody talks about business. That doesn't help the archite

I agree that this article is just a naive conversation trigger, and that complex front-ends will lead you down this path. However, there's another path, which is where you keep things on the backend. Unless you're talking about ve

In our current project it's Stimulus/Turbo on the admin side (maintained by the backend devs), React on the end-user side (maintained by the front-end devs). I haven't met a single front-end dev who prefers the Rails approach
