This article made me feel good. Ever since I started doing TDD, I refactor a lot more and my code looks nicer. Hopefully, I'm not falling into the other trap he mentions and getting into design that would be worse than 15 minutes up-fr

"Functional core, imperative shell" sounds quite dogmatic and not "getting it" is no reason to fear for anyone's code. Just like the OP article argued that TDD can become an all-solving hammer in the eyes of people,

Same with: * Vim vs emacs * Tabs vs spaces * Static vs dynamic * Monolith vs microservices * Functional vs imperative And a long etc. We're dogmatic folks. I fall in the multirepo camp.

Apples and oranges for me. I use Facebook to keep up with friends and family. I use HN, among others, to keep up with technology. I see no reason for dropping one or the other, they don't even intersect for me.

This is interesting work. But I think I'll continue relying on at least once and idempotency. Exactly once is impossible anyway. > In Python (aka pseudo-pseudocode) This annoyed probably more than it should have.

I've used several. Liked some, hated some. My favorite is SQAlchemy, can't say I have any real complaints about it. The few times I've had to strain the object model, SQAlchemy has degraded nicely and lets me use raw SQL. It&

Amazing how perception works, everything you said about Hibernate and SQAlchemy is what I think about them, only switching them around. At least for the one time I had to use Hibernate, which was two years ago. And not just because Java is

A mostly good thought experiment, IMO, if pointless since it's never going to happen.

This was a great read, the conclusion of always monitoring, no matter what technologies one is using, should be obvious, but I've noticed that it really isn't, unfortunately. Even I fall into the trap and sometimes I wish I knew a

Something that I added to my bash profile is this simple `cd` override that triggers `workon` from `virtualenvwrapper` if the folder I'm accessing has a `virtualenv` with the same name. cd() { command cd "$@"

I stopped using Google news because too often the same news piece appeared several times in the RSS feed. If these features address that, particularly labels, maybe I can get back to getting news from there, but the comments here aren'

As usual, an anti-trust regulation puts on display the shortcomings of both capitalism and socialism. Stifling competition is bad, and it's bad that Google did it. Trying to meddle in someone's private property and stifling innova

All three criticisms are entirely based on opinion: • One either likes, doesn't care about or doesn't like encapsulation. I fall in the second camp so... meh. • One either likes, doesn't care about or doesn't like functi

While I don't mind if Vue stays small (as in, just used enough to keep momentum), I'd love it if it became more popular. It's truly a joy to work with. Angular was the first framework I used, and I liked working with it well

Every time a project moves to GitLab or GitHub it is great news; I find them much easier to contribute to. It's specially goo news when it's gitlab, it's just an all-around awesome service.

I found that, at least in my experience, social media feeds do indeed become echo chambers easily. It's almost an impulse to unfollow someone in twitter or unfriend someone in facebook when they post something one doesn't like. I

I make sure to test my applications in all major browsers and iron out bugs in all of them, when possible. So, that aside, I'm too used to Chromium for me to bother switching to something else as my personal browser. Not to mention tha
