I am! I love the design of Gleam in theory but keep bouncing off it so I’m interested in seeing if AoC will help me give it a fair shake.

I always interpret “core” as “no libraries”. What can you do with just your browser and an HTML file? Poke through MDN and see what you find. Do you know about dialog? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web&#

I’ve been tracking it for weeks and it comes back in stock only to sell out minutes later. I’ve had 2 or 3 times where I thought I got one, only to get the order cancelled email. I can’t tell if there’s just no stock, or huge demand, but ei

While I did say "VM" in my original comment, to me this counts as "cloud" because the UI is functionally the same.

I think this is only true for teams and apps of a certain size. I've worked on plenty of teams with relatively small apps, and the difference between: 1. Cloud: "open up the cloud console and start a VM" 2. Owned hardware: &q

Vue still is usable that way! It's my favorite way to slowly add some order to legacy apps that have been overcome by jQuery soup.

If C++ was JavaScript you would do: import {vector} from 'std'; Which I think is a reasonable compromise, you're only bringing vector into scope rather than all of the standard library.

When I encountered sub-fizzbuzz programmers I think the job postings were all for junior developers. So the bar was already low-ish, you just had to have the right keywords on your resume and get past HR. So probably a different pool than t

It was a complete rewrite. Angular 1 vs. 2 share nothing besides name and some basic concepts. The actual code and tooling was completely separate.

I've never seen it be buggy, but it will often remove unnecessary parens. For example: (a * b) + (x * y) becomes a * b + x * y. This the same code, but I often use parens for semantic grouping or to be 110% sure the operator precedence

I think the main complaints are: 1. Enums are one of the few TypeScript features that isn't a type annotation that can simply be erased. Enums emit code and don't have an equivalent JS feature. 2. Const enums are unsupported by so

Two things off the top of my head: 1. Denormalized data is often a boon. One of your key use cases is "give me all the information about this Product so I can show it to the user." Forget joining a ton of tables, just do 1 read of

It's all about a persistent connection between the client and server, with the server pushing updates to the client as new data/events come in. If you don't have a good async model, you're down to a thread/process p

Agreed! Kids vary significantly, and much advice I’ve read about sleep doesn’t apply to our kid. You’ve just gotta do what is best for your family, not what is best for some internet stranger’s child.

Indeed. In my view making informed trade-offs, communicating with stakeholders, and tracking down bugs based on limited information are hugely important job duties, and are entirely untouched by GPT3. People have decried “no code” and “low

Yeah I had to rescue a buggy React Native app where the devs put every backend call into sagas. It was a pain to debug and I’ve since almost entirely ripped sagas out. It’ll be a good day when I can delete it as a dependency.
