Everyone has to deal with other code that might not even be from the same org. The "check it in CI" answer isn't an excuse either. You're bolting on so much extra crap that way. I just don't see why nullability is a

It's decent for backends. I'd rather use JS, but there can be performance or ecosystem reasons to use Java. They fixed a lot of the gaps it had. JS used to have a big edge in async-await while Go had n-m multithreading, but now Ja

Can you explain what the issue is with nullability here? Is the concern that someone's code returns null in normal circumstances but doesn't document that well, so you don't check if null? Cause if it's an error situatio

MS Teams is terrible, and yet it's gotten this far. I don't know if Slack or Teams is winning, just that Jabber won't beat Teams at its own game. Thankfully we use Slack where I work. The cross-org channels are cool.

Before X flagged me as a bot for no reason, I had a mostly unused account and can confirm it was showing me a ton of right-wing content. Also lots of stuff related to Elon Musk in particular. On the flip side, X has less moderation, and it&

People don't really know how to install SSL certs, it's intentionally not easy especially on phones, and it's not clear that what they're installing only affects the bank. But yeah, the industry could make this semi-easy

Same! I tried to make a server using a tutorial from the HN popular page recently, and it wasn't working. I'd done it a decade ago but not in a public-facing way, just local IP addresses and no TLS.

Websites said "follow our RSS feed," not "follow on Google Reader." Then again maybe normies never used RSS.
