I wanted to point out to you that there are other reasons for people choosing different choices to you which don't involve them being "tired of learning" and "not being very good". You described yourself as being &q

Somehow I suspect this isn't the first time you've ignored other people's points of view and felt righteous about it. But, the way you act, must give the people around you a lot of entertainment so I'd certainly not want

You wrote a lot of words about how others were "tired of learning" and "not being very good" and "kicking out the DB guy who'd stop their bad ideas" and then finished it off by congratulating yourself on k

It's been used as a general purpose programming language for over a decade. It is a 'boring technology' nowadays and hardly exotic. Of course, you could decide to do something exotic with it (edge rendering, data programming,

It doesn't seem possible to me that "role separation" could be more efficient. If you wait until code is merged into `master` before doing further testing, you're saving yourself 15 minutes of time, but when a problem is

In my estimation, most places have the opposite problem: everybody approves the code without looking through it, and the only comments that are left are stylistic problems. Good code reviews spot real bugs and provide solutions and explana

I think it feels slightly different when you're doing it, because internal politics is mostly stuff like "team C has created a new service to do something you'll be doing" and you're trying to work out whether it ex

It would be mediocre if I suggested that all changes are breaking changes and didn't know about additive changes, deprecations, or (kelvin) versioning. If an API turns out to be insecure and has to be removed or a mitigation put in pl

I wonder if they could use some kind of magic to create synchronous versions of all async APIs (e.g. https://giuseppegurgone.com/synchronizing-async-functions/ ) Although this would be fighting the language...

But if you want Software Engineers that will take up DevOps skills and responsibilities, surely you'd want to advertise this DevOps culture instead of a role? Advertising this as culture is likely to attract people that want to work in

There's nothing stopping you from running `npm` or `yarn` offline and committing the cache. In fact, both of these package managers have had direct support for this workflow since 2016 ( https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v

I tried to introduce `zod` ( https://github.com/colinhacks/zod ) to achieve the same thing within my current team. The idea was that API responses that weren't reflected in the types would cause hard errors that we

Interesting, RE: Google. Though, even if no other large-scale company is doing this, it seems on face value to be an easier and safer way to develop software up to perhaps a medium scale system/problem (and assuming that you're no

That's not a conditioned response! I also once believed the same as you, and I have friends that are endlessly bootstrapping and spending 60+ hours a week on their startups. They are renters, that don't have much money or a family

If you scrape using accessible parts of the page (e.g. `aria-` attributes) it is less likely to be brittle, since if it were it would mean their site had stopped being accessible to screen readers, etc.

People disliked it when the religious right used to do it and they still dislike it when it's done by the "radical antifa left". I don't understand what is surprising about this?

You'd presumably be fired or PIPed if you often held back releases for security reasons so the liability seems poorly placed.
