Elixir has one opinionated formatter -- Quokka -- that will rewrite the code above properly. It can also reuse linting rules as rewrite policies. Love using it.

I always wanted to ask: - How often is that updated? - How current is it at any point in time? - Does it have historical / temporal access i.e. be able to check the history of a page a la The Internet Archive?

Nice blend, thanks. Ubuntu Mono remains undefeated for now for me though.

You are kind of ranting on general trends here, not to mention misrepresenting what I said which I cannot see as arguing in good faith (never said that big companies using something makes it good; I said that they did studies -- that's

Yes, you are correct. When I shrunk it to have the same amount of lines as Ubuntu Mono, it was uncomfortably small. But you are inspiring me to give it another go. Thanks. They are beautiful fonts and are often updated, too. Clearly a lot c

RE: make/CMake, consider yourself in a somewhat privileged bubble and IMO let's leave it at that. Every single time I had to deal with make or CMake, I regretted it: every time when I used them in anger and to more of their capaci

I like that family of fonts but ultimately couldn't live with how tall they are. I want to have 50-60 lines of code on my screen. With it I had 35-40.

I agree this is problematic, sure, and is not unique to Rust or JS. Feel free to propose and work on something better, I'd be your enthusiastic supporter. It's simply a way to be able to move at a reasonable speed is how I see it.

RE: memory, any self-respecting CI/CD system will allow you to compile any Rust project without out-of-memory halts. RE: NPM, you have a right to a preference of course. I certainly don't miss the times 20 years ago when pulling i

I'm currently trying to go where I'm valued. Unlike a lot of privileged people who only have to pick up the phone, I actually have to do interviews. Takes time and a lot of energy. As mentioned elsewhere, being empathetic landed m

Yes, sadly. And before somebody quickly interjects: he not just was not an a-hole, he was extremely kind, calm and always supportive. You almost never hear him say: "I am too busy right now, can we do this later?". Seriously. Almo

That's exactly what happened. I tried improving processes and worked so hard that I neglected my wife. I was removed because the team lead thought I'm going over his head... while I coordinated every move with him. But the moment

How exactly would empathy be a superpower? If I'm empathetic then I'm effectively making excuses for people who don't care that they make my work unbearable. I'm very interested in your response. I have accepted that I h

To the author: You have thought about your boss likely 100x more than he ever thought about you. Don't do him this favor. You are giving him too much power that way. And be sure that he forgot about you, like COMPLETELY, maximum 72 hou

What would the legal repercussions be against an anonymous coder who donated the code to multiple code forges? Action against the code forges themselves? I mean, not like they would be able to find the guy.

As a non-American this still surprises me to this day. Thanks for the reminder. I really need to learn to look at an even bigger picture.

Typing valid XML does not require even 1% of a CS degre level of skill, come on. You're overdoing it.

Awesome comment, thank you. No idea why it was flagged as dead. Vouched for it to not be.

Yeah true, the downfall of most SaaS services I used was that they were too careful trying to build too much moat and sabotage any competing efforts. If they were a little more chill then I'd think they could make much more money. I pe

I like your analysis but it seems to imply that at one point we can produce near-infinite amount of software and that this will be welcome. It will not be. Even in this fairly broken state of affairs we are currently in, most non-technical

You hiring? I have noticed lately that getting into an USA company as a foreigner became very difficult. I get a lot of praise on culture fit and tech assignments and then get told off with something very similar to "can't get com

It seems to me that the devs that managed to become sergeants of a small platoon of LLM agents to a crushing success deem their setup a competitive advantage and as such will never share it. But them being humans, they do want to brag about

That's a nice balanced wholesome take, only the problem is that the "Pragmatic Executive" is more like "Career-driven frenzied 'ship it today at all costs' psychopath executive". You are describing a push-

I'm not seeing full self-hosting yet, and "Book a call" link is an instant nope for many techies. I understand that you need to make money. But you'll have to have a proper self-hosting offering with paid support as well

I don't disagree but you might as well also manually send an error to f.ex. Sentry and just halt processing of the request. Though that really depends. In companies where k8s is used the app will be brought back up immediately anyway.

To be precise, the previous problem with Rust was because somebody copped out and used a temporary escape hatch function that absolutely has no place in production code. It was mostly an amateur mistake. Not Rust's fault. Rust could ne

And I don't understand your comment. The author is obviously a techie. Netlify + Cloudflare cost peanuts (might end up less than $5 a month) and you would have a blog that can sustain all but a coordinated huge DDoS attack. If you&#x27
