Might as well have a webpage about "myths about applying" at this point with how much confusion and misinformation there seems to be.

Some of this is a reflection of society not wanting to confront the challenges with mental health. We went from just dumping people in asylums and ignoring issues like PTSD, to acknowledging these things exist, but trying to push everything

I think that protocol is appropriate here since s3 resources are often represented by a s3:// url where the scheme part of the url is often used to represent the protocol.

I feel like the word "database" is throwing people off because they're comparing it with something like MySql/Postgres, when this seems slightly more complex than a k/v store stored to a file, with some other indexi

Probably unpopular opinion: Silly excercises like this are a good way to see who bends the knee and who is a maverick, and projects only work when most people are docile enough to go with the flow and follow orders. Identifying people that

Huge fan of Bun. Came for the ts interoperability, stayed for the performance. Also seems like the most sensible project in the space - I tried Deno and it was... rough. Bun on the otherhand was easy to intergrate and a very pleasant experi

Strongly disagree - it's trivial for a project to just add a small std-lib, or add lodash as a single dep, or just add it directly as source code. JS projects exist in npm hell because people have been taught to use a library to save t

Is it though? It's been painful to see how much Java has squandered it's potential. Putting aside something like OTP, just the concurrency in Java has been confusing - project loom has been on the horizon for a long time, and it m

This is why one of the often quoted benefits of golang being it's small languag design is so annoying - it doesn't help if there's then a bunch of other implicit rules that have to be remembered that aren't made explicit

I've always heard a lot of good things about elixir - I feel like if it was statically typed, the landscape for network oriented programming langauges would be a lot different. And with how popular microservices have become, how big an

It's kind of startling to see how many places still use Java 8, estimated at ~1/3 of projects according to a survey i just googled. And something like half that still use java 11.

That's very unhelpful. I abhor long compile times and I exclusively use staticly typed, compiled/transpiled languages. The solution isn't to just shrug it off, but seriously evaluate how difficult it would be to refactor to s
