I liked the thesis of the piece but not the delivery. Personally, I prefer a Hemingway-esque style in my writing, so it was a chore to penetrate through the layers of metaphors in this text.

It’s absurd to complain about abstraction. Hardware will continue to leapfrog the pace of software innovation and things will keep getting better. Sure layers of abstraction is leaky and has their issues, but I don’t want to write a hipster

The funny thing is, when ZIRP ended, people realized that the original dev / ops separation was actually better & regressed back to it with an armada of new tools and acronyms.

Writing about it. Corporate programming often sucks the joy out of figuring out small things. A few years ago, I started writing about simple things that I learn during my day-to-day work. I write on my personal [site]( https://re

The intro section before the main article was worse than slop. Loved Leah’s writing otherwise.

It’s mostly a personal quirk. I find text that are left aligned harder to read and immediately turn on the reader mode on the browser.

I am a regular reader of Simon Willison. The content is fantastic but on mobile, I find the layout a bit confusing.

Ditto. I like Gwern's content but not much the presentation. The same goes for Simon Willison's site. I much prefer the brutalist look of Drew Devault, Fabien Sanglard, or Dan Luu's site.

My most important microfeature is center-aligned pages. Whenever I read something on a large screen and the content is left-aligned, leaving a large gap on the right, it really turns me off. I try to make [mine]( https://rednafi.c

IDK how people expect it to behave. No matter what the output is, someone somewhere is always going to be offended.

Folks, it's a reflection of us.

Ruby is slow and encourages an esoteric convention over configuration style of OO code. If you enjoy it, more power to you. However, Python is everyone's second favorite or least favorite language, and it runs laps around Ruby any day.

My definition of a shared branch is the one where only one person is working. It can be your local branch and the same one after you push it to remote. It's still not shared in the sense that only 1 person is supposed to work on that b

Yep. Neither the rebase nor merge workflow negates the benefits of squash-merging to main.

by rednafi 2y ago
This will only save you if you haven't taken a pull right before pushing your changes to the remote branch. I almost always do this: ``` git pull --rebase main ``` And then push the changes with `git push origin HEAD`. Pushing with `--

Two rules of rebasing that I follow strictly: 1. Never rebase a shared branch 2. Never break rule 1

TIL. Thank you.

Never rebase shared branches.

This assumes the rebasing will be done in a shared branch. Two rules of rebasing: 1. Never rebase a shared branch 2. Never break rule 1

This sounds like slop. Why would anyone want to script in Rust when bash and python exist?

by rednafi 2y ago
This whole part sounds like BS mumbo jumbo. AI isn’t developing any system anytime soon and people surely aren’t going to design systems that cater to the current versions of LLMs.

The first one can also be extended with this corollary: Quit complaining about every little thing, including the fact that people will always complain about every little thing.

It’s trivial to do with nominal type. In Python: ```Hash = NewType('Hash', str) def generate_hash(what: str) -> Hash: return Hash(f“hashed_{what}”)```
