It’s part of the journey. Every place I’ve worked with more than a handful of people had its own version of politics. It’s just human nature. Ironically, the places that claimed to be free of internal politics often had the most.

Such a dramatic name for such a boring set of tests. We need to test whether it can come up with a Nobel Prize-winning scientific breakthrough, a Booker/Pulitzer-worthy novel, Ken Thompson-level code that solves a real problem, or a pr

Highlighting what the IC wants instead of the promo thingy is a great piece of advice.

I agree in general. However, let's say an internal transfer isn't guaranteed and interviews are involved. In that scenario, when the IC gets the green signal from the other team, how does training another person come into play? I

Yeah, but the at the same time, I find C# code a sigil soup. Go makes a different tradeoff. I've been involved in a few successful large scale projects and never felt like the type system of Go is holding me back too much. Sure the err

It's Go we're talking about. Other than 64-bit the dominant word size, nothing much has changed.

An expressive type system also often means slower build times. I dislike working with Rust for this exact reason. While most people highlight the difficulty of picking up the syntax, I find Rust to be an incredibly tedious language overal

Slicing a slice is full of gotchas. I tend to forget all the rules and avoid it whenever I can.

Cool stuff. I also did something similar recently. Didn’t want to maintain a dynamic site just for this, so I took the least tech-savvy option. Added a new section to my blog that lists one page per year. Each page lists all my entries in r

Ted Chiang is a master of analogies. It’s absolutely delightful to read his work and wrestle with the philosophical questions he explores. I devour almost everything he puts out, and they give me a much-needed escape from my world of bits a

It’s possible to write good code in JavaScript too; VSCode is a great example of this. However, that doesn’t mean the language won’t fight against you. Yes, you can write data-oriented code in C# as well, but most people don’t because C# ha

Just give me five days of remote work—that’s all I ask. My job doesn’t require me to add to the traffic, yet there are middle managers rallying for RTO to maintain their relevance.

I can understand advocating for C# over the mess that is JavaScript, but with Go, it’s a different story. Startups choose Go because no one I know is excited about working with GoF-style OO code these days. It’s easier to hire for and faste

Can’t argue with this. .NET is like RoR or Django, just more tightly integrated. The dev experience is better than Node with its thousand dependencies or even Python at times—with its better type system but a zillion ways to manage dependen

I still like C# more than Java and know that the language now allows you to break out of GoF-style OO. But the issue is, few people actually do, and those who want to aren’t writing C#.

This sounds like the pedantry FP folks are infamous for. By definition, Rust is also OO. But I’d rather write Python, Node, Go, or Rust in a bastardized, data-oriented, faux-OO way than deal with GoF-style OO in Java, Kotlin, or C#. Sure, y

by rednafi 2y ago
Quite relatable. Writing a lot of Go and a bit of Rust has changed how I write Python and TypeScript. Most newcomers in startups write Python in a data-oriented manner, but that’s not the case even in new Java or C# codebases I’ve seen. One

This is true in theory. However, Python also supports a wishy-washy version of OO, and most people don’t write code in an object-oriented style. Modern Python in startups uses loose types and fairly stateless functions. But that’s not the c

Unfortunately, in my experience, no. XPS is close but it has too many tiny little issues for a 3 grand device.

Most modern codebases in Node and Python are devoid of OO—at least in the ones I’ve worked on over the last half-decade. Go is mainstream now too, and it doesn’t even allow writing OO code. People love Python because it’s still one of the e
