I think this covers nicely discussion about the HTML, CSS, JS and browsers complexity from other thread. We have a bit of messy complex system that we can run cross platform applications including mobile. But it was only one that could surv

I think you are missing one thing. HTML, CSS and ekhm EcmaScript are open standards not owned by any single corporation. Every other toolkit was not gaining adoption because it was shut down by one or the other corporation owning one or the

It is dogshit compared to what? GTK or QT, Java toolkits? There is no better cross platform way of implementing applications, especially if you want to do mobile in the same stack.

We are mostly there and I am all for it. No other GUI runtime or framework delivers true cross platform implementation. HTML, CSS and js are as open and as standard as it gets. GTK sucks in its own ways and is not international standard.

No one is forbidding people creating little pieces of software. But creating little pieces of software was already available, for example I make most of my DIY software in a spreadsheet. There are tons upon tons of low code possibilities or

You made a forest hut and you are calling out people who build skyscrapers - gatekeepers.

It is also much much easier to fix all kinds of all other bugs stepping through code with the debugger. I am in camp where 1% on the easy side of the curve can be efficiently fixed by print statements.

I disagree with this take. There should be just more governance on the registry side of things. For NuGet or Maven I think dependency hell is not something you run into and I don’t have package manager manager for those languages. There sho

Article is discussing „package manager” as generic concept. My argument was that this concept is not the problem. Problem is in governance of NPM while NuGet or Maven are stricter and therefore it is registry governance problem. But on the

Passkeys - no need for hardware key. They have it implemented. I created NPM account today and added passkey from my laptop and hardware key as secondary. As I have it configured it asked my for it while publishing my test package. So the g

Linux distributions packages are also very trust driven — but you have to earn trust to publish. Then there is whole system to verify trust. NPM is more like „everything goes”.

IF I put my risk management hat on - 0 days in npm ecosystem are not that much of a problem. They stop working before can use them.

That’s like insane proportion.

That's not package manager problem that's registry problem. NuGet is not having as many problems as NPM but also NPM is much more popular. NPM is also quite a wild west when it comes to publishing packages, any kid can make an acc

I wouldn’t have an issue if title had „could” instead of should. There are most likely good reasons why Ada and DIANA are not in widespread use.

I don’t think we are writing about the same book: ”Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software” . That’s the one I write about, it has foreword from Grady Booch and was tied to OOPSLA meeting with C++ and Smalltalk examp

First of all design patterns were not some god given solutions. Those are solutions gathered from existing implementations and authors just gave names to those solutions. So they will be present in well designed systems just that they are n

From my experience patterns suffer from new devs thinking that patterns are guidelines for writing their code and that they should create code that is generic and implements patterns. (Yes if their job is implementing framework, not when th

Obviously just don’t forget aiming for where we see it now is not where it is and not where it will be in 100 years. I have never seen anyone writing about us having solid reference points to travel that far in case we can reach those speed

I don’t think it is deliberate rage bait. It is looking more like the author genuinely thinks he understands something on a higher level and is a bit high on his own farts.

Missed solving of riddles. Also why programming is fun as you try to solve the problem wrap your head around it immerse yourself in problem space and at the end you get to solution that usually is a pleasant sensation.

Well you don’t run a company of 100+ employees on “top talent” you need maybe 1 top talent guy per 50 worker bees. But to get worker bees you have to lie that you hire only the best, make them jump through the hoops and the hoops or 2+ hour

But to do that you have to stop being random and start playing Wikipedia game. Random people don’t have time for that. Ergo “it is not a project for random editors anymore”. I want do an edit or addition and be fairly evaluated without havi

Well I guess so but Buckingham Palace is not so far away from Clearance House. So I brush it off as a technicality. Once I was in London I saw Harry and William being ferried to the Clearance House while I was walking The Mall.

I think “random agents” was only at start. I don’t think you as a random person can edit much there anymore. Which is good in ways. Though random phase is song of the past.

I like it exactly because it moves through biographies quickly and to the point. I can ponder about “what are the consequences” on my own. Most of the time I don’t care enough about each topic or what are passions of the experts are to list

Sounds more like externalized cost that data centers should pay more for but it is spread evenly across all customers.

If that agent does jira stuff instead of me so I don’t have to ever see it again then I am all for it.

I would say it is reasonable decision as fronting with proxy is quite good approach. Unfortunately lots of non tech people want to “just run it”

I don’t think proxy is clunky. I would expect that should be quite fine solution. Problem is people don’t know that it’s a good solution.
