There might be, but I think the real question should be closer to: "Are there no other avenues for securing capital that are close to your ARR with costs as low as you'd get during a new funding round?" I don't have an a

My parents pushed me away from programming because they thought there was no future and I’d hate it. I didn’t listen and it turns out they were wrong on both counts. Now I can provide for my family, live comfortably, and I love the work I d

Thats exactly the type of code that should be unit tested. The unit tests are trivially easy to write, and a very naive solution is easy to code up. The tests should take up a negligible overhead in your overall test suite runtime. Then whe

If the unit tests are tautologies then they aren't testing the right things, and if they are integration tests then they aren't actually unit tests. I personally run my unit tests every time to confirm my assumptions that the unit

In more recent times I've seen some growth in interest around contract testing. Unit tests are immensely more useful when paired with contract tests, but unfortunately without them they tend to be more of a hassle. At its essence integ

Unit tests are a side effect of TDD, they don't have to be the goal. I'd find value out of TDD even if I deleted all of my tests after. It sounds like your problems are around unit tests, and that is neither something required to

I'm confused by your comment. Your premise is that TDD should die, and your support is comparing it to a "great tool". Should TDD really die, or should people just stop treating things as a silver bullet? I personally love TD

It isn’t that contradictory. You can have data in a functional language. One of the common features of a functional language that separates it from imperative is data immutability. In this case it’s a database of immutable data. I personall

> But better bicycles are OK UCI has lots of rules around the size, geometry, and weight of equipment that can limit how much better you can make a bike. They even explicitly don't allow new innovations without their prior approval.

The only thing worse than an employee calling in sick is an employee not calling in sick when they are sick. Nothing good is going to come of doing a half assed job and infecting the rest of the office.

Bitcoin specifically avoids loops and recursion. The codes you included allow basic contracts, but bitcoin scripts are guaranteed to halt. Its a conscious decision, and I'm not sure its a bad choice for the project.

Running code on the Ethereum network is pretty expensive, so I imagine a private network would be much cheaper. Of course, just running your apps in a more centralized fashion is significantly cheaper. There may be some edge cases where you

I have yet to use chunkwm, but I have tried a few of the precursors. They were all nice, but super glitchy, especially when it comes to multiple monitors. Does any of that seem better with chunkwm?
