Love this writeup. There's so much interesting stuff you can build on top of Object Storage + compare-and-swap. You learn a lot about distributed systems this way. I'd love to see a full sample implementation based on s3 + ecs - j

If you like Lee Pace, check out The Fall (2006). It's my favorite film, incredibly ambitious and funny and yet virtually unknown to the public. Lee's performance is incredible, as is his young co-star's.

Does anyone have experience transforming a typescript codebase this way? Typescript's LSP server is not powerful enough and doesn't support basic things like removing a positional argument from a function (and all call sites). Wo

We've been using tsgo for a few months in our team and it just works (10x faster). We bumped into some small differences in behavior with tsc but it was always because we were doing something weird in our code, and it was easy to fix.

I've learned more from Charity about telemetry than from anyone else. Her book is great, as are her talks and blog posts. And Honeycomb, as a tool, is frankly pretty amazing Yep, I'm a fan.

This unsoundness behavior recently caught me by surprise - and there's an unexpected fix (using object property syntax rather than method shorthand syntax). Also - what a strange behavior by the typescript compiler!

As someone who recently adopted Honeycomb, it really is an amazing tool. Especially with otel auto-instrumentation, you get insights within a few hours. The dashboard / query features are very powerful and obviously stem from a deep ph

Which ones? It seems eminently usable from the outside now, at least for greenfield work. The subset of Postgres it supports is most of good/core/essential Postgres. (But I haven't tried it)

You're right, stateful dependencies like DB handles need to be passed in manually, and that's a bit of extra legwork you need to do.

That seems too dogmatic. Does the fact that Foo has a static function that knows how to create its dependencies disqualify the class from being a case of DI? class Foo { private nowFn: () => Date; constructor(nowFn: ()

In other words, despite all the noise to the contrary, hard-coded dependencies are fine. James explains this a lot better than I can: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2023/the-problem-with-dep...

Why is it a pain to inject dependencies manually? I think this is because people assume for some reason that a class isn't allowed to instantiate its own dependencies. If you lift that assumption, the problem kind of goes away. James S

Great talk, there's a lot I can relate to in here. I find this topic difficult to navigate because of the many trade-offs. One aspect that wasn't mentioned is temporal. A lot of the time, it makes sense to start with a "datab

Yes, I think it's fair to say that nullables are a form of test doubles. But the approach is meaningfully different from other approaches as it avoids the problems that you get from using mocks in the narrow sense of the word: you&#x27

I'll give it a try. The beauty of the nullable approach is that when you're testing the system under test (SUT), you're testing it together with its dependencies. Not just that - you're running the real production code o

I can say without exaggeration that this article changed the way I write software. Many of the concepts are interesting by themselves (embedded stubs, nullables, sociable tests) but together these patterns form a strong approach for writing

Wonderful report! So now we know how long it takes to solve all of the problems: 729 hrs. SICP is hard to work through even if you're just reading but wow, the exercises are on another level! I wonder how it compares to, say, a physics
