I don’t like having comments on my blog. I write the posts out of my own necessity and don’t want strangers to stomp on them. Sometimes if someone finds something useful, they appear at the front page of hackernews and people can discuss it

Yeah, same. Otherwise, domain and protocol error codes become a confusing mess.

I feel like people tend to overthink in this regard. If SHA-256 hashing is good enough for GitHub's REST endpoints, it's good enough for me. If you're implementing weak validation, then you might need to preprocess the payloa

Hmm... Chrome seems to handle this quite well, at least in my experience. I'm curious about what sort of issue you encountered.

I came to the game at the tail end of the Vim-vs-Emacs war. People pick up a particular editor not because it's always objectively better, but rather because it was the only available thing they liked at a certain point in time. Then,

I like the syntax and the type system but it’s written in Java, why?

JetBrains Mono ftw. Also, what’s with this weird slash swapping after the trial period!

Same here. I value the time I save by not having to commute at all.

Yes. I’ve mostly seen it in US corps. European corps usually go with a fixed 4 weeks PTO and I love it better than the alternative .

I usually pick up languages that allows me to write and ship high quality CLIs quickly. Over the years, I’ve written and shipped a few. If a language comes up with a VM where the CLI startup time is too long, it’s a show stopper for me. I k

Same. Not every webpage needs to look like stripe’s homepage.

This doesn’t do much. Many of the stdlib functions will still raise exceptions. Also, just because you’re returning exception from a function doesn’t guarantee that something else won’t raise an error. This isn’t an issue in Go/Rust si

I fed this to midjourney and it gave me a few great illustrations :p

Kafka is great. Problem is that the celery system is working just fine and there are higher priority tasks rotting in the backlog.

Well, when developer productivity is measured against PR rate or number of commits, I guess this is what happens. Also, it’s debatable if someone should be managing a team of engineers if they don’t have a honed bullshit detector to catch t

I love FP; at least some aspect of it. But it’s not popular because it’s not the panacea that the evangelists want you to believe. Also, the community loves getting engaged into pseudo-intellectual ramblings that most people find useless.

You’ll be amazed at what goes on in some of these multi billion dollar companies. Why do you think the mass tech layoff happened? There are still a ton of coasters in large companies that didn’t get affected by the last layoff spree but are

This is quite astute. Love the car analogy. Makes thing quite tangible while explaining the concept to the non/semi-technical upper management.

Until very recently, I used to work in the healthcare industry before switching to a different one. I only got into it because it was hip during covid, until it wasn’t. The pay is bad and developers are treated like commodities by the upper

This is far better than picking one extreme and sticking with it until the product dies!

RFCs are great if they incur discussion but not so if no one reads them at all. The latter happens more often than I'd like to admit.

Postel's Law is bad. It directly contradicts with the Unix philosophy of building small and composable interfaces. Look how small and generic the interface of Reader in Go. It has one method with a simple signature and can be used wide

This, so much this. On Twitter, I asked how many people have published a blogpost or anything worth mentioning with obsidian. Turns out my network had 200+ Obsidian users and none of them published anything. I know the sample size is small

Love how responsive, simple, and lowJS the UI is. Also, "let's grab a coffee" in the footer is a nice touch. Unsolicited advice: automate everything to the point where you can write some markdown, git push, and the CI should
