Congratulations to Martin Fowler on inventing reader monads with context objects! Lets hope next time it doesn't take him 2 decades of ignoring Haskell inventions to actually find out if it is a good invention! /s in case it'

Can I suggest making it a torrent? Good Internet relics deserve to live duplicated in random computers all over the place, just like the Internet itself.

When I researched it(around 2017), most microservices sucess stories began with "our monolith couldn't scale beyond our 200 devs, 300000 clients and 150 millions of revenue per year, so we had to do something". So, how did yo

Believe it or not, there are REST APIs and frontend frameworks for almost every programming language under the sun. And I mean EVERY. Example: this Prolog works in your browser https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/swish , and

Adversarial take: if your company says it does Elm, then hires people (who took Elm as part of the decision of joining) and then decides to stop using Elm, why should we push the guilt of leaving to the employee? I mean, it looks a bit like

I have been a full stack dev for a while as well. Some time ago, I lead a project based on C#/ASP.net/SQL server. The SQL server instance would lock up/use 100% CPU for days every other week, even after restarting and with no

I recently pushed back on discussing if an already-completed ticket was really a bug, or a feature to work around a limitation in the browser. I mean, that ticket was messing so hard the tech debt statistics! Or so that claimed the PM.

HTMX definitely chips at some of the use cases of SPAs. What percent of cases? I don't have that answer. And yes, Phoenix is a very interesting thing, but it's most likely only viable because of it being Erlang under the hood (nee

SPAs exist because of the developer experience and user experience, the support for complexity is an added bonus. Everything can be done with SSR, but some things are terrible with SSR (oh, you need real-time updates? have some meta http-eq

You return a tuple, which first element is the value the function would return (I/E "return jsx stuff") and the second value is a list of operations (effects) you intend to perform I/E "I intend to change this varia

No. The point of FP is "minimize state and effects so that the code is easier to understand", not "write it in FP style so that by magic is correct". For exactly the same reason OO is "put the code that manages the

If you are having trouble testing context, you are _definitely_ doing context wrong. To test the context itself: pass as children of the context components to render the context state. To test the components within the context: create a con

Now we are startung to talk serious. Yes, I'd like Java's ability to use and tune different GCs to be available in other places. Async is pretty much the colored vs non-colored function discussion, for which there are good argumen

Wow! Big differences! Ocaml has a VM which is included by default (70kb), and can also compile to native (skip the VM altogether). It has been like that since at least 2002 (the first time I checked it, probably before that). Haskell has HK
