I kind of get where you're coming from but at what point do we admit that such use cases are the fringe and not the main?

Agreed. Over 10 years of development using Git and I perhaps ran into an issue like 10 times, which is once a year on average. I can't think of any other tool that hasn't given me headaches at least once a day. Git is actually rem

I have personally witnessed "legacy" rails apps (were ~4 years old, Rails 5 was around but we were on Rails 3 IIRC) and they are not really unlike normal legacy apps but they definitely let a lot of crap seep in due to loads of co

I think this is one point that I don't see being made often enough. ChatGPT is exceptional at retrieval of information, but if it starts passing tests like the MCAT and LSAT and so on, I feel this is more that our testing is just crap,

I see SICP listed on every list but I really feel its becoming Knuth-esque. I mean, I didn't learn through that specific book, but after going through it a couple of years ago I found that its kinda alright, but I don't really get

But std::vector has been around since C++98 (and in the STL even before then). What's changed?

That's an interesting take that I didn't think of. I think the burden on having a cloud-based development environment on ops teams will be non-zero though - some set of individuals (or a dedicated team) will have to maintain these

Partial suite is certainly an option. You can build tools that only test code that has changed and whose changes can have cascading effects on other code (i.e dependent code). Do you know if such tools exist, or would I (as in the software

Wow, that's really impressive! Do you plan on adding support for Golang?

Using Python decorators is a very strange choice for constructing computational graphs. Then again, I don't really use Python for this kind of thing, I roll my own solutions (of just functions being composed together). One big issue I

Running tests locally is pretty much a no-no for many codebases because they are so large and tests take a long time if they don't run on a beefy test server or in parallel. Common examples of this are multi-million line C++ codebases

Just had this thought: are there any decentralized code hosting services? To me, I don't really see a difference between GitHub and sr.ht. Companies can start out with these "friendly" attitudes towards FOSS, but when they re

Not sure what you mean by this. You can dynamically add to a wait group using the Add() method.

You can easily cancel worker goroutines in Go using contexts and their associated cancel functions (listen on ctx.Done() in a select statement).

Will 2nd not being a fan of Gorm. In general not a fan of ORMs - implicit behaviours and magic query generation in a language like Go is completely antithetical to the explicit and verbose nature of the language.

Building a "Rails-like" framework in Go is honestly totally antithetical to the "Go way" of doing things. Rails has a ton of magic, implicit behaviours, monkey patching, ERB, and so on. Go is a touch below Java verbose,

Disagree with this. Most middle managers wouldn't understand the difference. One canonical version is enough, any more and there's just confusion, not enlightenment.

Agreed, a single point of authority is useful. Although in this scenario, isn't code of conduct something much more "local" that the ringleader doesn't really need to step in every time to enforce? CoC is just something

What's the advantage of using BerylDB over Redis? Is it speed, or something else in the feature set (current or future)?

I don't think I like any of these proposals. None of them add something that makes me think, "hey, I really need this". Heck, I don't think any of them would even be nice to have. Go error handling in practice actually w
