It depends on what you’re testing. Much of a typical page is visual noise that is invisible to the accessibility tree but is often still something you’ll want tests for. It’s also not uncommon for accessible ui paths to differ from regular

Seems a bit harsh. There’s surely more dimensions to their market than this?

I’m not so convinced that this is a property of functional programming as much as simply good programming. I’ve seen functional programs that pass around huge data structures that couple functionality. I’ve never seen the benefit of perform

It’s hard to be disciplined about a black box though. That’s one reason why we’re all speeding off at a thousand miles per hour on transformers - the architecture works, why try other things?

By the end of the first sentence I thought “that sounds like engineering” (the real kind). I know people still dealing with this kind of thing!

Sounds like they charged by the column but you actually paid with your souls.

You’ve got a point! There was a special moment there for a while. Your description perfectly captures my experience interning on a small IT team around 2000. This was in England so the secretaries would snigger whenever I said “debugger”. T

Engineering excellence is a means to an end. Great engineers solve problems - sometimes by writing software.

In the spirit of this pedantry I’d like to point out that the NTIA is not the White House.

This is really something you only do if you have a sales team. If you’re doing sales-led growth then you’re probably not going to benefit from Show HN and Product Hunt, unfortunately (with those being product-led growth). If you’ve not deci

JSTOR is a non-profit run by academics. Indeed, they have plenty of money, but they’re no megacorp.

This fails to explain how they had such a shoddy system in the first place, only possible due to the opposite of perfectionism.

Huh? During the preceding decades the US invented the skyscraper, was home to the world’s tallest building, invented the light bulb, air conditioning, the airplane, the supermarket, and cotton candy!

It’s really nice to see data being used to back up an argument in this space. There’s too much sci-fi out there.

Their last raise was two months ago at a valuation of $12bn. Google was offering a premium to take them off the market. https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/07/wiz-raises-1b-at-12b-valua...

IDP-initiated flows are less secure, as they cannot prevent unsolicited logins. Last time I checked Google went as far as to block this flow in their Firebase Auth product. https://www.identityserver.com/articles/the-da

What do think about the number of interest being not the absolute values from the poll itself but the change over time?
