I'm at a very similar place to you at this point. It make sense for FP to be good at "describing relationships of actions" since the base unit of reasoning is a function, or an action. The beauty of modern programming is that

I’ve been using GraphQL seriously for a year on a client project now (an inherited decision). I can totally see why it would be useful for a public API or an internal API in a very large engineering org. For everything else it is needless c

The combination of cypress and something like percy ( https://percy.io/ ) has made me completely lose interest in testing components independently. The components that make up a UI are an implementation concern that I don&#x2

I continued to "get dressed for work" each day, then would change out of a shirt at the end of the workday which helped more than I thought it would. I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated home office so also stopped doing anyt

The timing of this is fortunate. I wouldn't want to have gone into 2020 burned out and limping along. I really liked the author's writing style and it led me to feel genuinely relieved that the conclusion was that they found aweso

I suspect that it's linked to the pandemic. I've been running a small company for a little over four years now and the last year and a half has been pretty brutal. Other than the obvious economic impacts of the pandemic on small b

This is really cool! Can anyone explain why deno has made it to MDN but node.js has not?

Hope you've found a company that values output rather than presence. I run a small company but given the last 18 months have had to come to grips with the idea that I might have to return to normal employment. Losing my freedom to go f

I've worked remotely for four years now and I think the primary advantage for me was being able to have my own - quiet - office. I found working in an open office to be incredibly distracting and the productivity uplift in working in a

Transactional DDL changes cannot be understated - it’s the most outrageously useful database feature out there. I have to work with oracle for a client right now and I’m gobsmacked that they don’t offer it at the pricepoint.

I run through this point with other developers a lot. There are hard technical problems out there but a great deal of difficulty in programming is in reasoning about a domain. If Copilot is good enough that it can solve problems in any doma

Will machines even need clean code? The benefit to a human of clean code is readability. The all-coder will need no such luxuries.

That’s fair. We built our own little parallel test runner to handle that runs each file in a different process but I would have paid if the official version supported parallel test runs on a single host.

What features are you missing? I’ve never paid for cypress purely because it had what I wanted out of the box. Now I’m wondering if I’ve missed something.

iirc amazon video owns their own recommendations distinct from the rest of the company, where previously recommendations were generated from the standard retail systems. I'm convinced that they got worse when this change was made but t

> In the end they will promote what they WANT to be popular This is a hugely important point. I'm completely uninterested in most netflix originals, but I understand why they're going to continue to recommend them to me.

That's why I studied maths at university. It was beaten into my head in school that IT was on the decline.

The business might not know enough for that estimate to be possible either. It reminds me of this quote from Andrew Wiles about mathematics: "Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark

I can't remember where I read it initially, but the take that I love about estimates goes something like this: Software is trivially copy-able, and as such large software projects are unique enough that accurately estimating them is im

I can't believe that I've never heard of the phrase "high-performance requires high-maintenance" before. I really like little aphorisms like this as a way to regulate behaviour. Thanks!

My rails experience has mainly been dabbling with some admiration from afar, but I've liked that the criticism levied against it at times is that it's a framework for building basecamp. That's why it's good! It's be
