Yes, I do this kind of thing in JavaScript, too. I actually forgot it is a feature. Not all JS projects I work on take advantage of it in this way. "conversationally irrelevant things" - nice way of putting it. Important things, b

One way to look at it is that, if I rely on a debugger and the style of development it promotes I will not try to make those reload times shorter for my project and that will result in a different style of developing software, tool-wise. On

It is shorter than what I've had initially, really. And yes, these are a bunch of ideas I try to make clearer for myself, as well. Like, there is a feeling inside and you've seen things and experienced different scenarios and n

Yes, `2-3 other people can work on it with you` would be splendid. But then you have to be on the same page with your colleagues on how to go on about doing things. You know how that goes, when good ideas are then made mandatory and all the

No, I'd like you to read the whole of it. Or, at least, every author lies to themselves that they have the most devoted of readers. But yes, you are right with your summary. It is based on an observation that some of the solutions I&#x

Well, yes! I'm trying my best to make your wish come true by spreading the word. Good to know I'm not the only one finding it a bit too complicated and sad. Do share your experience with it, if you will.

I am writing for myself. I've also worked in the automotive industry as a consultant for a few years and I've seen the effects of these extra tools I'm mentioning in the article on me and my colleagues and the industry as a w

No, it just means you can't avoid the reality and the complexity of the problems you'll be dealing with and you won't be able to tackle them unless you bring in more tools or programming languages, be them visual or special l

Well, software developers in the embedded field of automotive use Matlab and Simulink quite extensively. I haven't worked with it myself but the "excuse" for using it was that "we have complicated state machines that wou

Just to add another angle to this: of course you can have CS classes and all that good stuff, but would the businesses only employ these kind of graduates? Or would they spread even thinner to grab market share or increase profits and hire

That would only mean we'd add even more tools on top of the tools that currently sit themselves on top of C (in this particular case) to fix our 'sloppy' ways, no?

I would take it as just marketing. One has something to sell so one now finds some good angle of why that product is better or desirable.

An AI-infused search for hard to find discussions between team members that happened somewhere in the past is nice, I guess. What I find slack enables though, is technical documentation being stored in such chats instead of something more f

"Startup job descriptions read more like religious vocations or calls to service than realistic previews of work conditions." Right. And we still hear voices buzzing around about "propaganda" from the East, how bad the &

That's a good observation! But then, my criticism of the people's criticism of Tan's free speech is also criticized. And then we only get criticism of criticism and no actual productive dialogue. Or so it seems. Looks complic

If the government abstains from prosecution, maybe the people should abstain from the practice too, then.

I thought the US was the land of Free Speech. And yet, when a guy speaks his mind he's burned at the stake. Of what use is that freedom, then? Or do you have to be poor and uninteresting to exercise it? Or only in front of your own mir

Indeed, it is. And yes, Lisp is only marginally relevant to the point beeing made. It's just that the question "if X is the best why hasn't it won" and similar variants of it spring up so often around Lisp and are not qu

Well, yes, and the discussion about the "factors that specifically involve LISP" has been going on since forever with no end in sight. So maybe there a at least some extra forces involved here. Who knows. I'm just exploring.
