The Lighthouse report is telling. It scores 100% for Best practices and SEO, but 54% for Performance. Pages like these used to be caricatures of the modern web, but are now acceptable. DHH's statement doesn't help either.

Ruby is one of the most fun programming languages out of the 6+ languages I've worked with, and I was very productive with it. Unfortunately, due to my experience working at a Ruby shop where Rails misuse and abuse crippled the company

If you mostly write software with Go you'll likely enjoy working with protocol buffers. If you use the Python or Ruby wrappers you'd wish you had picked another tech.

Most of the modern frontend ecosystem is infuriating. The early React + Typescript era was mildly upsetting but bearable, and it hinted at a relatively nice future if abstractions improved. Then Vercel et al threw that slow progress into an

Isn't Tudum mostly a static site? It must be a great project to try out cool stuff on, with a near zero chance of that cool stuff making it to the main product and having a significant impact on customers. Most of the traffic probably

The Iranian state is playing the long game by letting Israel and the US celebrate their victories while they carry on with their plans. They will let the big boys bust a few rocks here and there if that's what it takes.

I've seen it happen at companies with 100s of engineers, some of them ex-FAANG, including ex-Googlers. The average FAANG engineer has a way more pedestrian work ethic than the FAANG engineers on HN want you to believe.

We are talking about a Gen AI startup that has a handful of employees here. They have little excuse not to implement CI/CD, unless they lack confidence in their product's quality.

Why would a startup CTO choose to deploy a couple of times a week with a Claude script instead of implementing basic CI/CD? He makes it sound like he's running a clusterfuck and he isn't qualified for the job.

When I think of a 1x engineer, I think of all the guys I've worked with that had a decade plus of experience but were advanced beginners at best. If you don't work for a FAANG company, you will be surrounded by those types. They m

An average engineer with solid problem-solving skills and a good manager is like a ~3x engineer. It's way easier to hire a few of those than a 10x engineer. But you need to match them up with a good manager, and that isn't easy.

It seems like every middling company out there wants to bolt in popular architecture from other languages into Go, particularly Java enterprise patterns. Why not use the actual language or framework your engineers like instead?

I've been using React on and off since 2017 or so. Back in the day it was typical to bundle your React code and integrate it with the backend framework of your choice. It was stable and cheap. In the 2020s frontend tech took a bizarre
