Some people are certainly more predisposed to things than others.

I like the part where the solution to LLMs being fundamentally the wrong interface is more LLMs.

You have it exactly backwards. We use colima to run the (lima) VM that runs Docker daemon, but we use all the standard docker tools on the host. Colima configures docker with a context called "colima" that knows how to talk to the

> Any use of a lambda, as well as any inverison[sic] of control, makes code more difficult to read or debug Anyone else immediately think about lambdas and surprised by this zinger at the end? I'll grant that in some languages lambd

There's a bit of a renaissance here in Rust, or perhaps this is just my bias. Many people are drawn to the lack of a garbage collector and efficiency of the runtime code. Lots of packages optimize algorithms that are unlikely to be str

We migrated all our devs to colima and it's been pretty good. Don't want to deal with Docker (the company) and don't use any of the "features" of Docker Desktop. The only actual issue we've seen is the way fold

This all sounds fascinating. Got any links on scanning and age w.r.t. color?

Didn't ruby and python both get created in the same year...?

What's your largest Crystal code base? How are the compile times? I've only done toy stuff in Crystal and super curious about "real world" experiences.

I bet it's hard to be motivated to build numbers 2 or 3 when number 4 isn't getting attention. That's why most languages start there, that's the raison d'etre.

And you had a ton of experience with Ruby heading into this comparative exercise? I feel like a lot of us are hitting a point in our career where we have decades of experience doing it one way, and learning something new is slow, but make t

Right but in those cases were these libraries selected by engineering managers and not developers? I definitely appreciate being stuck in a pattern but everywhere I've worked the standards were at least set by technical contributors (c

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm talking about imperative code that coordinates multiple external actions. In a world where it's modeled as jobs in a distributed system, I agree that each job can be nicely functional (and I love thi

Great intro for more junior devs learning how it all comes together. It's incredibly easy to use these things without understanding what they are doing for you under the hood.

I love this sort of approach for one-shot externalities but what about when your entire program is a conversation with external components? My current project coordinates software repositories and services within AWS and I find myself using

I have the opposite feeling on RDBMS, based on my limited experience. I think you need a good reason to deviate from it, which is often very large scale. I'd say 99% of applications written are no where near this scale.

Are there really software jobs where managers are the ones making decisions like whether or not to use ORMs? Some of these comments make me feel like I've had a truly blessed career.

It seems to me like you hang around with a lot of people with similar opportunities and skills than you. Some of my friends work at Starbucks. Some of my family is retired after 50 years in a factory making $40k/yr while raising 3 kids

The most interesting "times have changed" for me reading this was the copyright for the color gradient.

I suppose it depends on what you're writing. When I read "wide range of platforms" I involuntarily said "who cares" out loud. For those of us (fortunately or unfortunately) working in distributed systems, there is o
