I'm facing a similar situation, and I just decided to quit as I realized how toxic it could be. I work in a software consultancy, it was all good, but several years ago the company was sold and the management realized other professiona

I used JavaScript for years and then used C# for years. During all those years, I also use languages with advanced type systems like TypeScript, Scala, Idris, etc. I still hate typing in Java / C#. I feel intellectually insulted from t

Elixir is basically an Erlang that looks like Ruby instead Prolog. Combined with Phoenix which looks like Rails, this language is really getting traction. I wonder if an Erlang that looks like JavaScript would work. It would be like what Re

Speaking of SQL alternatives, Datalog seems to be another language that leverages relational model. I love how straightforward and expressive Datalog is. I wonder, why Datalog is not very popular for databases as a query language? Is it bec

React is actually pretty decent in terms of upgrading. Also, the idea of semver is more widespread in the JS community and there are things like Angular commits and tools like commitizen. It has a tick-tock pattern so that you can upgrade a

It's a great attempt, just like ReasonML. Maybe the 'data' could be called 'enum'? I believe Rust/Swift ADT definition use keyword 'enum' and it might make it more familiar to the mainstream. While th

I would recommend the same. I usually only put things like Slack or documentations in the off screens - it's pretty 'read only'. I also use ultrawide screens occasionally in my hometown's house. I found the problem with

Let's face it, good programmers are usually not good teachers or mentors. And good teachers don't know about the specific stuff on your project. We do pair programming for many years, it works pretty well in terms of training. The

Is there any chance that Rome can be based on Deno in the future? It seems to me Deno has built with browser-like environments in mind, thus the environment would be more unified. Node.js is pretty much a different beast. If we want to have

MacOS is bloated and glitchy nowadays. But I keep coming back to MacOS. It's funny but the No.1 reason for me is the readline shortcuts. The No.2 reason is rendering.

It's not just AI, every change is an opportunity China can grasp. They got enough men, money, and are motivated to compete in the market. If nothing is changing, it would be very hard to challenge current monopolies, but we're liv

Unfortunately, no. I was just commenting on CCP owning Tiktok. Which means if it is still operated by ByteDance they will continuously remove contents they don't like. But to be frank, there are much more companies are vulnerable to si
