I think many devs are guarding their secrets, but the last few decades have shown us that an open foundation can net huge benefits for everyone (and then you can put your secret sauce in the last mile.)

Generally the reason we think of Eugenicists as "bad guys" is because they've been characterized by being happy to sterilize or kill people to prevent their "subhuman genes" from being passed down to the next gener

An index is one thing (and important and good), but an FK allows you to completely eschew IO if done right. In other words "I guarantee that all values in this list exist in that list" is a great simple optimization path and some

Correct, most archeology digs take decades because A) its hard work and you have to do it very precisely (and also we're always inventing new tech and wondering how to keep stuff in the ground) and B) There's very little money fun

No they would confidently assert they need the dumb thing you keep saying.

Yeah, some instances also have all the shards maintain all the state and just accept writes in your partition of values, merge replication in sql server works like this.

Because convincing the owners of the house they have a shaky foundation and you have a cheap fix matters more than the actual integrity and the fix. There's no question that the predictions around LLMs are shaking up the industry - see

One part of the code generation tools is that they devalue code at the same time as produce low quality code (without a lot of human intervention.) So a project that mostly is maintained by people who care about their problem/code (OSS

It has an external editor option (which I havent tried) the cli interface by default is pretty bad for medium to large code changes.

Dang yeah you are right libraries are a hotbed of evil and we should look at them more critically.

You just fantasized an entire line of reasoning to hate a library for checks notes winning a best library award. Use more critical thinking.

I really counsel everyone to stop thinking like this. The appealing to authority doesn't work when you are talking about different sized businesses. All the best banks and tech firms do a lot of things that could be categorized as wast

Right, but are you going to fix it by yourself? No. Is the point correct that most people wont remember half of the arcane rituals we're expected to perform on command only in an interview or in very specific parts of the job? Yes. Can

That old canard? If you pay people in a way that incentivizes them to stay, they will. If you train people and treat them right and pay them right, they wont leave. If they are, try to fix one of those things, stop blaming the juniors for t
