I actually like "dumb" service classes with 1 method. Usually that method may require tens of dependencies to function (db connection, authorization logic, etc.), which in turn have their own dependencies recursively, and your cho

I like that Zoom allows to provide a developer email so as a developer, I only receive emails about API changes. I've never missed an email from them.

The article basically describes the Entity-Component-System architecture and it makes sense when your app is essentially a stateful simulation with many independent subsystems (rendering, physics, etc.) managing lots of similar objects in

With LLMs hallucinating and being generally unreliable, I'm coming to the conclusion that LLMs should only be used to transform natural language to structured data (specific to your application), and knowledge about the world should be

Can a LiveView process migrate to a different machine/VM? For example, there's a scheduled maintenance and I need to shut down one of the machines/containers. The main advantage of stateless architectures for me is that state

I've seen the classic examples of AOP being used to log or authorize, but you can easily do that without "cluttering your code" by using the decorator pattern? Decorators are also nestable (when you want to both log and autho

For Russian text, it degrades to, basically, 1 character = 1 token, due to the tokenization issues discussed in the article, yet it produces absolutely coherent text, almost same as in English. In my tests, its Russian output is worse than

At our previous project we were trying to implement our own sagas and I remember that compensating actions are the hardest to get right. For example, we had a saga which added participants to a meeting as one of the steps. If the saga faile

We have a lot of Go services in production and errors have never been a performance issue. In the happy path, when there're no errors, errors are basically no-op. We don't use errors for control flow, though; only for exceptional

As far as I remember, there's a lot of machinery involved to make a C call because C doesn't know anything about Go's goroutines and their resizable stacks. So the runtime has to prepare the stack accordingly every time you m

In our team we have this rule that you should'nt even think about introducing an abstraction unless there's at least 3 real use cases to consider. You're most likely to create a wrong abstraction if there's only 1 use ca

I wish Go also had this: for v := range vs {} instead of this: for _, v := range vs {} How often do you need to have both the element and its index? I'd say it's not the majority of cases. And now you have to type &

I agree, the main problem with PHP in my experience so far has been that it's very memory-hungry and slow (even PHP7/8), especially when coupled with frameworks/ORM magic. I remember after spending some time with Go, I got us
