I echo most of these sentiments, but it might be possible to solve it once and for all with an approach similar to Jane Street's Iron. https://blog.janestreet.com/ironing-out-your-development-sty...

Thanks for the low-level perspective and the references! I used the wrong term though - I was looking for plain old statistical profiling on a function-level for running applications. This is available for Node, but the tooling doesn't

Couple of things I found interesting: > 2: Time.now is an expensive function that takes a while to execute and typically requires control transfer to a VDSO. (On my older laptop this takes 800+ nanos to run. On more expensive server clas

Searchlores at the time was a disappointing pivot from Fravia's pages of reverse engineering. Searchlores was all about advanced search techniques and finding the unfindable; reverse engineering was about decoding binaries and knowing

_variables.sass works if you're using BEM. But now you have two component-like things: BEM classes, and the components themselves. BEM solves the issues inherent in nested CSS (cascade, inheritance, multiple selectors, specificity) by

In my experience design revamps of this magnitude has always needed fresh markup, CSS, Javascript - aka an entirely new front-end. But in case it is just the color of all buttons, then you'd change them in the components. 700 component

Overrides are special cases. Usually you start with one, but before you know the CSS file has bloated to thousands of lines with hundreds of overrides depending on context. With enough of them you can't comprehend the CSS anymore, whic

Tailwind is the best thing that has happened to CSS Frameworks in the last 10 years. * Define the essence of your design in a JSON - typography, colors, spacings, shadows, borders et al. * Anyone in the team including backend developers can

Tailwind takes care of this. You just need to define your spacings, colors, typography, and a few other details like borders and shadows, and all the classes you'll need are all there. You can use PurgeCSS to trim down the final CSS si

Functional CSS changes a mistaken way of thinking about CSS classes: as a unit of visual abstraction. When you have a "ProfileCard" class, you expect it to encapsulate the profile card without leaks, and with perfection. But that

This will fall in deaf ears, and maybe rightly so, if computing history is any guide. In 1954, the biggest issue John Backus had to overcome for FORTRAN was performance: "it is difficult to convey to a reader in the late seventies the

The type system is a lot more expressive than the ones found in Java/C#/C++, thanks to Algebraic Data Types. Yaron Minsky (Jane Street, largest OCaml user) coined the term "make invalid states unrepresentable" to explain
