Well, what did you expect? When interviewing someone, I would still want someone to work through a problem live with me to see how they solve some problem. I don't care about the end result, I want to see how you're getting there.

You can generally make do with weak references. For a doubly-linked list, you can make the backwards pointer weak.

I think you should include that in your original comment, because it gave me a very different impression!

I don't understand this logic: you know that waitstaff in restaurants are paid less than minimum wage because they make it up in tips, so you choose not to tip them which actively contributes to them making less than minimum wage? The

It's incredibly ironic that you're accusing the parent post of "assuming a level of insight into people’s meta-knowledge of their own mental state" while up and down the thread you're making gigantic reactionary ass

Did you mean to prove your own point like that with your spelling? Sorry, I couldn't resist the dig. In any case, your own personal feelings without anything to back them up doesn't really help anyone.

Or maybe those changes are fine. You have no idea, I have no idea! But I surely don't know how you're saying this with such certainty!

Performance measurements are only one dimension of code quality. Having a laser focus on it disregards why you would want to sacrifice performance for a different dimension of code quality, such as extensibility for different requirements.

Inline functions can't be made type safe (or at least, as type safe as C gets) over generic arrays.

There you go, actually: you can have your clean code cake and eat it too if you have the right language abstractions (like parametric polymorphism).

Have you never used C++ iostreams? Or the Python file abstraction? Or Rust std::io::Read/std::io::Write? Or Node.js streams? Or DOM Web Streams? Or Ruby files? Or Haskell conduits? Or hell, fopencookie/funopen in C? The abstractio

I think it really truly depends. I think it's always good to do the minimal viable thing first instead of being an architecture astronaut, but if you've been asked for three (random ballpark number) different implementations for t

The shapes example is pretty contrived so I don't really have an opinion on it either way. But imagine you have something like a File interface and you have implementations of it e.g. DiskFile, NetworkFile, etc., and you anticipate oth

This guy is so dogmatic about it it hurts. I would argue that clean code is a spectrum from how flexible vs how rigid you want your abstractions to be. If your abstractions are too flexible for good performance, dial them back when you see

I'm not sure if getting some extra syntactic sugar is worth adopting a whole other language into a codebase: at least, that seemed to be one of the lessons from CoffeeScript.

As cache-friendly as advancing two pointers and a bounds check.

That seems like an inside-out way of doing it to me. I would schedule work onto the transaction struct and make it ultimately responsible for if it should roll back the work or keep it committed. let mut tx = Transaction::new(); dof

I find that after writing a lot of Go, manually having to defer/scope(exit) is a lot more error prone than just RAII destructors: it’s impossible to forget to defer the destructor.

There’s a difference between using it as treatment vs punishment though. That’s like saying they use the same substance for lethal injections (pentobarbital) for treating anxiety.

That's fair, and I don't disagree that parents and guardians should have rights over their children to punish them for discipline. That said, you certainly still can't spank your pets... Look, I agree that the state should ha

If I (non-consensually) spank an adult, that's abuse. If I spank an animal, that's also abuse. But if I spank a child, that's somehow magically not abuse? Most of Europe has been getting along fine without physically hitting

It’s always hard to convince management of the business value of a v2 rewrite, especially if v1 works “well enough” from the outside :( Sometimes it’s easier to just front load the cost to avoid significant churn later.

You hit the nail on the head with long term vs short term gain, but I think there is an additional factor to consider: software generally isn’t frozen at v1. You should also consider if using Rust reduces the toil of incremental changes to

This is workable if you’re in your early 20s and dedicated to the grind, but not sustainable if you’re going on 40 with two kids. Owing my employer almost all of my waking hours is not worth it for me personally. In the end I’d rather look
