Shameless self-plug. We've started using Haskell at Vacation Labs and we even spoke about it at Functional Conf 2017, Bangalore [1]. The talk was called "Joys & frustrations of putting 34,000 lines of Haskell into production&q

SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs). Structured very well. Each exercise builds on a concept of the previous exercise, getting increasingly difficult. 1984 by George Orwell. I am told that we're increasingly moving

Sorry if this sounds like a newbie questions, but can I use this to run my test suite every time someone pushes to a feature-branch and/or before anything is merged to master?

I am increasingly getting irritated with REST for our app. It takes too much thought to figure out the "correct RESTful approach" when building out an API endpoint. And then again, there are no right answers. And all the JSON seri

Is the person getting a lower salary for personal reasons being compensated with higher stock? Or is everyone being altruistic about it -- "I won't drain cash if I don't need it"?

I just wish there was a way to fast forward 2 years into a 10k LOC project to find out what new problems this creates. After running after the new hotness in technology for the last 5 years, I've realised it's never about the prob

New to this entire brouhaha, but I'm concerned because my entire production stack runs on Linux. At some point devops is not going to be able to do things the old way. Is there a link where one can read about the rationale of why syste

Is penalising early exit through contractual terms illegal? If not, then isn't this just a case of who has more leverage when negotiating the employment contract? That, and the fact that Indians are so desperate to go to the US that th

Is it possible to use this as a drop-in replacement for Angular POJOs that hold $scope data? We're hitting a whole class of bugs which are basically due to mutability of native JS objects, and we could use something like this for the m

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. It matches my thinking, except one part -- I'm constantly wondering if implementing the MQ over an RDBMS is a more pragmatic approach for us at this point. Conceptually it's still a queue and s

Also, what kind of hit does this have on performance?

Wow. This is super exciting. What does this mean for multi tenant applications? Does this mean we can push our multi-tenancy logic down to the DB (if not logic, at least the last line of "data defence"). Can we create one DB user

This is a topic that I'm actively researching on for my startup (www.vacationlabs.com) and would love to know what other experienced people think. Our Rails app has grown over time and we ended up doing everything in a monolithic way t

Am I vulnerable if using the Paperclip gem to manage file uploads on a Rails app (it internally fires up 'convert' to generate thumbnails, I believe). What if there is an haproxy sitting in front of the Rails app?

I think there is immense value in extending the capabilities of an SQL data store so that it can communicate over HTTP. After building an extremely complex Web app, which, at the end of the day is CRUD with tonnes of business logic, I have

Why do you say AngularJS was hard to debug? Also any insights around modularity - AngularJS directives vs ReactJS components? I hear you about the API surface. Currentlu AngularJS has too many weird/new concepts.

As a startup who's built all of its UI on AngularJS, does introducing React/Om into the stack make sense? We have a B2B product where the users deal with a lot of CRUD forms and dashboards. React looks interesting, but only if it

Anyone used Racket AND clojure in production? Any first hand experiences? We're looking to add another language/environment to our, currently RoR+Postgres stack, and have a soft corner for lisps.

Can anyone explain why/how the following statement is true? We can then change the slow field read from current.obj[current.field] to current.getter(current.obj) which triples the performance.

Ouch! I was dreading this from the day AngularDart was announced. I don't want AngularJS to be a second-class citizen within the Angular world -- my startup now depends on it! Btw, what's the benefit of Dart? I never really unders
