I don't want to use JavaScript for everything. I have to, because my team is only 6 people, and we're responsible for the entire stack. If I chose literally any other technology, I'd be the only one able to maintain it when t

I really love this point: https://yoyo-code.com/programming-breakthroughs-we-need/#pro... In my day-to-day JavaScript programming adventures, I typically encounter issues around paths and how they're imported. The

These problems exist with every package manager, and every ecosystem of reusable modules that can be downloaded from a 3rd-party location. The problems that `left-pad` caused are minuscule compared to the ones created by Log4J. It's ju

Deno's progress on NPM compatibility may have accelerated due to how BunJS was received, but yes I believe this idea has been baking for a while in the Deno world. It was always somewhat of a concern when Deno was launched, but the tea

There's a lot of code on NPM in general, and while there's definitely a lot of warts, there's a lot of good code on there as well. It makes no sense to write off an entire package ecosystem just because some of the packages a

Ruby didn't "fall out of favor" 10 years ago, usage of Ruby as well as Rails moved into the enterprise space. Instead of startups using Rails, it was larger companies trying to circumvent the bureaucracy of their existing too

Kinda? We use Cloud Run because for our workloads GKE was a lot more expensive. So far, it's been great. I wouldn't say I've "left" Kubernetes, since from what I understand Cloud Run implements the Knative standard,

Quantum mechanics looks like the borrow checker from Rust. You're observing a particular state, so that state is "borrowed" into your observation and cannot be mutated by anything else. Once you stop observing, you've fr

GDPR is the "digital TSA", a huge overbearing law that gives people the illusion of security without actually delivering on such a promise. In classic EU/world government fashion, it's a neat-sounding concept but is tota

"it is studied" Source please? This sounds like absolute bullshit. I've known so many people who have been killed or permanently disfigured because they didn't wear a helmet while biking in a large city. Cars don't

I disagree, the post is itself a waste of time and energy because this is a problem that basically nobody cares about or is even aware of. It's not a real problem.
