Unfortunately posting more or less the same comment in many threads just makes other people do exactly the same thing in frustration and destroys the entire comment thread with copy-paste wars. It's bad forum etiquette everywhere, not

Have you considered the reason you keep getting the same response to all of your posts in this thread is perhaps because you keep making the same assertions in slightly different ways? Calm down dude; we get it. You don't have to post

Funny how no one has any meaningful advice, just some snark about those dang young developers. Get off my lawn! That line wasn't the important part of this post. This one was: > You should also have a global self-development plan. I

The point isn’t that no one does it, its that its hard to do right. ...and that is flat out the case for c++, unequivocally. In rust you’d expect it to be better, because of (reasons rust is good here, like safety, having a package manage

I'm not even going to bother. Nuget is such a pile of rubbish it's not even worth arguing about; if that's the best package manager you've ever used, you should really go check https://github.com/fsprojec

When was the last time you wrote a micro service that compiled to a single binary and interop'd seamlessly using grpc in C#? I'm going to guess the answer is never, because it's basically impossible to do. Do you care? I doub

To be fair, C# is a chore without good tooling. I used to use omnisharp with atom and frankly it was just rubbish. It crashed all the time and required constant restarts, and (still) takes a massive amount of time (and memory) to start. I

I think a lot of what makes SOLID valuable is that its articulating patterns that make sense to people because they’re obviously good ideas. S -> don’t write spagetti code. O -> If you want your code to be extendable, explicitly choos

It depends, is that work based on the free work of others? Taking advantage of the community and not contributing back for others to benefit (as you have, for free) seems selfish to me. Maybe if he proportionately (based on LOC or something

500-600ms is, to be fair, a big one time cost. The downsides are pretty darn significant though. I can’t imagine a situation where I would trade ‘starts a bit faster’ for ‘throw away all parallelism in code’ personally... but hey. Plenty of

We'll see. I think the netstandard -> all platforms approach, combined with the aggressive depreciation of old .Net 4.6.x versions is a road map for the future. Maintaining two entire release chains, the 4.x and the .Net core 2.x, i

nah. I think you could quite easily quantify the effect various tools have on a code base; adding unit tests, using a repl, static vs. dynamic etc. on the various aspects of your code: - How quick/easy is it to add new features? - How

Only at a relatively trivial scale; and certainly, do that if your application is simple enough. There's probably a fair number of applications that clearly fall into the 'simple enough not to need redux' category. That&#x2

Well, what's your solution? I mean, I've seen people drop redux into a single stand alone form for no reason other than they hadn't used react before, so they picked up a tutorial and the first thing it said to do was use red

Unfortunately the epic comment thread, very talky, none of the key stack holders involved, largely irrelevant chatter... Is a case in point of why github isn't the answer for everything.

Personally, I think there's an important lesson here, and its the same lesson that polymer is learning as it stumbles around trying to convince people to use it. Most people don't actually derive much benefit from writing custom U
