Similar experience with windsurf. I had a class of 5 or so test methods - ABCDE. I asked it to fix C, so it started typing out B token-by-token underneath C, such that my source file was now ABCBDE. I don't think I'm smart enough

As empty as "thoughts & prayers". The system is either working as intended or it should be changed. The current system is that murder (among private civilians) is already illegal. You walk around with your gun, kill whomever

Now we can type out the same semantics, and remain clueless about what it means, but with a new obfuscated syntax which stops us from asking about the semantics.

In this case that’s the >>= from Maybe.Monad. As long as you satisfy the signature, it’s happy . do has nothing to do with Monads! Who lied to you? Could have been a stronger point by using a non-monadic >>=. I've b

It was a better model for reasoning about concurrency, i.e. evaluate two expressions , rather than where virtual threads is headed, i.e. "you don't have to learn anything" - just spawn two threads , keep writing sequences o

I skip reading anything "written" by my analyst and get on with the work. If I have a question I can just ask ChatGPT, perplexity and Gemini.

It's an interesting way to divide up a country's labour. 50% do child rearing, and the other 50% do literally all other professions. If you did have such a large cohort engaged in that activity, there should probably be some kind

CAP applies here. If you ask your cache for a value, it could choose to reply now , with the information that it has - favouring A. Or it could wait and hope for more accurate information to return to you later, favouring C. 'Cache&#x

So hypothetically , if you could add new methods to an existing class, it would solve the problem?

The only thing missing here is separation of files. Assuming the whole Stringify section goes into a new file (likewise with FunctionCall) then I agree that this solves the expression problem.

I was also confused by the claim that Clojure solves it and Haskell does not. > run into annoying boilerplate related to the orphan rule I always forget this, but it's not an orphan if you put the instance in the same module as the

I use effects to make guarantees about what the code will and won't do. When Option was retrofitted onto Java, the NPEs didn't disappear. We got Options that could be null, but more importantly, devs (and the standard library) co

Doing it this way maxes coupling and minimises cohesion. Your language will have a number of phases/passes to carry out. Let's say LambdaLifting, TypeChecking and Inlining. All the code for lambda lifting belongs in one module, a

The author didn't see fit to mention that you just flip the arrows. Classes/Structs know about their children. Relations know about their parents. If you want crazier m*n relationships you use an association table. Did the author

It's a little different. You pay money, have vendor lock-in, get one answer, and there's no upvotes/downvotes/accepted-answers/moderation or clarification.

I don't disagree, but it's useless because it's not instructive. You can agree with it or dismiss it. You can tell yourself you're doing it when you're not. It doesn't say how to do anything. Compare with &

I grew up with a ranked voting system. It has effectively been a two party system regardless. I don't think people know how it works and just treat it like first past the post. Proportionate representation seems like it's probab

Managers only have one phrase in their vocabulary: "Get this one feature out as quickly as possible." Everything else is just making devs 'heard' (so they can get back to feature). There have been a few variations over t

Using AWS was supposed the way to avoid the cost of an ops team. Now every developer also has to be DevOps, learning docker, kubernetes and CI systems instead of just focusing on development. Also we all still have ops teams.

A CRUD architecture with proper ACID is an OK contender against other possible architectures. Personally I always go for event-sourcing (a.k.a. WAL per the article's title). But a CRUD that doesn't do ACID properly is crap. And
