I don't understand how QSBS has anything to do with interview practices. Are you saying the IRS should somehow audit any QSBS company to make sure they're not implementing any data structures or algorithms? Like, new companies m

I love the lens effect at the bottom of the viewport and design of the site overall, really cool. Do you have a post about that effect - or is the best way to learn about it in the developer tools?

I misinterpreted what you mean –– I thought what you meant was "even if your software runs in NodeJS, you can test in Bun, and mock out all the Node modules since otherwise it's not a unit test ". Agree that for testing code

My experience using built in node:test and other rapidly evolving things is frustration around getting improvements. I test one of my projects with the oldest supported NodeJS version, and simply can’t use node:test there because the old n

Tests are about catching bugs, not playing no-true-Scotsman about what is or is not “unit test-y enough” to be a valid test.

Well theres been like 3 C++ drama posts in the last 2 weeks detailing that the standards committee is definitely not heading towards a comprehensive safety solution. They have “profiles” which is a nothingburger, and they’re sticking to it.

If you have a million dollars and accrue a debt of $500,000 you are solvent. If you have $20,000 and accrue a debt of $500,000, you are bankrupt and your debtors take a big loss and everyone is sad. (Also presumably if you have a bunch of m

Well the read query has simpler syntax with MPTT but implementing the whole structure is more complicated and any re-organization like moving a folder around requires rewriting a lot of rows. Although it doesn’t apply to the Firefox use-cas

I can express my ideas well enough in various Datalog/Prolog variants w/ the horn syntax. But when it comes to translating that from several discrete simple propositions into one massive CTE-stack SQL query I get very puzzled. I w

No matter how much time I spend contemplating recursive CTE examples, I just cannot “get it” enough to write my own without a lot of trial and error and head-scratching. I would love to take a 2 hour class on “thinking in SQL for hackers” o

I was expecting this to say “S3 append is buggy” or something. But really it just is saying “my specific application cannot replace making new files with append for a very specific reason” The issue cited is that using append instead of wri

Notion has 100 million users, managing schema-per-tenant at our scale sounds like a complexity nightmare. We have 480+ identical schemas across 100+ Postgres hosts, and that already takes a lot of brainpower & engineering time to manage

I use an alternative Github front-end called Graphite that is faster and more reliable than GitHub.com, and it’s a React single-page app. I’ve always thought of GitHub’s turbolink repo tabs as flaky and their full-page navigations as slow.

Why are you comparing renaming a file inside a directory picked or created by the user to robbers picking a pocket? It's quite typical to implement "atomic writes" by writing to a temporary adjacent file, and once the write i
