   Couldn’t agree more. I’m the same as OP; years of OSX now back to Windows and this was the setup I went with. Everything (surprisingly) just worked.

   This is what I’ve done and it’s way easier from a packaging perspective but the thing that stings is Go misses out on all the data science stuff like pandas, numpy etc

   Yeah good luck getting something to market quickly if you aren’t in any way familiar with any of those technologies

   I think another commenter said something poignant around this as well; it’s great too if you are working to a spec. For exploration it might be a cumbersome approach to go all in with.

   I really enjoy the tooling as well. I feel like these days tooling can be just as important as the more “tangible” benefits of a language. The Phoenix code (and test!) generation in particular is just magnificent, not to mention docs. Pytho

    For me that's been Elixir. It's made me appreciate some of the more functional aspects in Python, like generators, map, filter and the functools library in general.

    The TDD one I sort of half agree with. Purism and zealoutry are rarely a good reaction to anything, but I've seen a lot of dodgy code that, if it had been written with at least testability in mind, or with a test first it wouldn't

    Having worked with a huge Python 2 codebase recently, it's fine[1] but just becomes painful regarding dependencies. It just means you'll never have the latest versions of things. My advice would be to gradually port what you can u

    I have made the decision to take daily notes, almost like a diary, in the hopes that I can look back on the past and have a full history of things that I read, learnt, took in etc. Like version control for your brain :) (except without the

    I went all out crazy and got a Moonlander[1]. I love it. It took maybe a week or two of daily usage (an hour or so - writing code and doing the training exercises that they recommend via their online tool) for me to get back to feeling comf

    Not that regular keyboards are bad necessarily, but given I spend many hours in a day typing in a position that isn't exactly great on my posture or wrists I figured it might be time to make an investment for my future self (mainly j

    It really is super handy to see what was being described in the paper! Curiously I posted this about a year ago and it didn't make the front page. The internet is a fickle place...

    That's not really true, change is incredibly _easy_ without static types. I've worked an a few large projects now all in Python or JS where the test time has never really been an issue, nor has the ability to make changes. I'

    mypy is great but I've become enamoured with pyright[1] of late. It's super fast and catches way more problems than mypy does. It also catches syntax and semantic errors as a nice aside. [1] https://github.com/micr

    Arguably you should be testing behaviour rather than getters and setters. If a codepath requires a name formatted correctly, then that forms the basis of a test and an assertion. Otherwise you're introducing fragility by coupling your

    It sounds like you’re just reading code with zero context and no further information about the design, all the mistakes along the way and the code that didn’t make it. My first recommendation for large changes would be pair programming (th

    I love this sentiment and I wish more companies would follow suit. What really gets on my goat is unsubscribing, and then still getting emails.
