I think it's worth noting that the examples in the article are the way they are for the sake of demonstration. In that context, I very much appreciated the explanations even as a fairly seasoned programmer; I knew more or less how to d

In my opinion, I would really prefer that GraphQL stay as simple as it is. It's already very easy to cause performance issues on servers and be forced to work around said performance issues. In your translate example, why not just appl

Yeah, it's called pinning. When you use yarn or npm, they generate a lock file that pins the exact state of your downloaded set of node modules, so you can't accidentally download a different set of artifacts that might be poisone

I'm pretty sure then that if you actually knew what was inside your C compiler, you might lose your mind. There is something akin to an entire LISP inside gcc. And it uses its own host of deps, which themselves have deps... https:

Deps aren't unavailable or broken if I cache and pin them, and I do, because not having done so would have cost me a lot of time and money a long time ago.

I understand that, I read the remark. But you were replying to a comment about Perl, and I want to make it clear that there are plenty of people and languages that make excuses in favor of practitioners when it's convenient and that th

I'm pretty sure I hated writing Perl before, during, and after I was any good at it. It's unnecessarily full of ultra dense symbols, many of which are made dense for no reason. ($| means "hot pipes" means you want to flu

Do you really need to spend the time (and maybe money) for a second host just because your current one might go down for an hour? There's probably a point at which you might rightly consider it, but I doubt many people are legitimately

You would be wrong. Try adding a string and number together. That's a type error. Unlike in JS or C, where a lot of these conversions are implicit and only warn if anything. Python determines the types at runtime, but it is very clear
