Honestly this is something I love about Kotlin/Rust/Go. You either have them, or you do not. There are no time-wasting silly arguments over their veracity... just because a language makes them optional.

I haven't used PHP in a lot of years. I just took over a team that uses it so I thought, "let's play with it a bit". After looking at Symfony (and not hating it) I thought, "this looks so much like Java+Perl (with s

JavaScript did that too in the last couple of years. It's thoroughly confusing that we'd want to catch an exception and toss away all knowledge of WHAT exception was thrown. Unless one really just wants to log, "bad things ha

The folks working on Snowpack didn't just give up. They transitioned over to working on Astro. It was a very positive move. I see great things coming out of that project as we move into a more "server rendered" future.

My Amiga 4000 booted right into VideoToaster. So it took me a couple of months before I really started messing with stuff in Workbench. Turns out, the used machine we bought to run our post production studio, had Directory Opus, Deluxe Pain

Ah yes. I've had my eye on that as well!

I've been watching how Go and Rust tooling has been finding its way into the JavaScript ecosystem. I've been out of the PHP realm for about 10 years but I did find RoadRunner for PHP at one point. That's also an app server wr

Who among us has never complained about a manager or some company C-suite. While there's NOTHING wrong with that, could you imagine those comments being shown to them? Could you imagine what might happen after that? Just because I&#x27

Hey thanks! I'll take a look at that.

The process in that doc provide the primitives on which SSR can be built. Vite-plugin-ssr is one such implementation. It provides a rather "NextJS-like" experience out of the box. Although, it allows for very easy differentiation

While that's absolutely true, I'd be totally fine with what an LSP _does_ offer. Auto imports, go to definition, list usages, etc. I don't need the heavy refactoring tools.

I had high hopes that JetBrains would relent on their decision to avoid implementing a Language Server Protocol server. There is a 3rd party implementation out there, but it needs a lot of help. I realize this cuts into their core business.

Pine and Mutt were my jam back in those days. It really did depend on whether you were keen to use Pico or Vim as your reading/composing tool. (Although you could pretty much use whatever you wanted)

Yes, but is there also a pump with Purple Koolaid - that can't be used to fuel any known vehicle - right next to both of those pumps?

I suppose I AM confused then. I don't mind someone asking me complex algorithmic problems as long as we're WORKING toward a solution together. To me, leetcode means, "you have 45 minutes to solve these 2 or 3 problems... I&#x

I guess I am just saying I didn't feel like herded cattle like I did with Amazon's automated leetcode/hackerrank rebranded system. I mean, now I'm just here to watch the downvotes pile on....

Maybe? 2020 for me. The first wave had me write code to solve a problem.... pretty far from Amazon's rebranded HackerRank/Leetcode nonsense. I was talking to a human being the entire time. They were great about making me feel like

Have you ever interviewed with Facebook/Meta? They don't do leetcode problems. Say what you want about them as a company, but I've done quite a few interviews in my career and their process was one of my favorites.

I don't consider it "proving" I'm working but, I tend to over-communicate (or some call it just "communicate") with my team. I let them know when I'm running to lunch or running an errand. I tend to talk a

What's worse, they have interesting "rules" that one really needs to use a linter so their IDE/Text editor gives them friendly reminders. One cannot conditionally call useEffect. One needs to add all dependencies to useE

There was probably a great deal of that. We also played instruments together in an attempt to be "in a band". I didn't find the uppity know-it-alls until college. Discussing Delphi/Object Pascal with people via NNTP was

Ah good old `GR`... `PLOT`. When I found about `HGR`, `HCOLOR` and `HPLOT`, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And having that tiny little built in speaker made everything I did with PEEK and POKE sound so terrible. But, it kept me t

Definitely a gateway drug. I had an Apple ][+ around that time too. The manuals for that were incredible. Luckily, my dad's startup had tons of old hardware for it. Printers, Koala Pad, plenty of disk drives, modem, EPROM programmer, 8

When I was around 12 years old, a group of 3 friends decided we wanted to create computer games on the 64 (and later 128). We started to learn about sprites and how to do rudimentary animations. Nearly every day after school we'd share

Figma's biggest strength is in UI design. Open illustration, while possible is not so great. (I still love Illustrator for this purpose, others may disagree or have other favorite tools). Figma allows UX/UI designers to speak a co

Yes! I did Ruby and JRuby in Netbeans for quite awhile. Deploying JRuby to GlassFish was just a nice right-click away.

Whether it's Thread.new() or go func() or whatever. There needs to be an explicit way to say, "do this concurrently, NOT synchronously". That's pretty much all async/await is trying to accomplish, no?

the scarier prospect right now is that if you DO wait for 1.0, it'll likely have a very different API.

Yeah, if you can find an HP LaserJet III - V, chances are, it's still printing just fine. Worst thing that ever went wrong in any of those things is the fuser. I worked on Color LaserJets too and everything was replaceable/pluggab

At the time that those metrics were being thrown around, Google was knee-deep in pushing AMP. They visited us at Overstock several times to cajole us into using it with cries of, "will you please consider your users in less fortunate c
