99% of which problem, though? IMO the whole point of Loom, and what I'm looking forward to, is code that looks like this: fooer.onCompletion(() -> System.out.println("yay")); fooer.onError(e -> System.out.println("

Ah good point w.r.t. the frontend focus and having documentation for your internet-facing API (even if it's not "public" per se). So they could probably test it against the prod API without needing to do arcane deploy or dev

IMO this doesn't help solve backlog problems, it just means paying the (non-headcount) costs of a junior dev while not even making people investment that will make it worth it later. In general, jr devs are net-negative. (If they'

Yeah sure - it absolutely has drawbacks. I too have spent time going "what the heck is this actually doing". But man when you're not debugging one of those wonky things, Rails just feels like programming with a rocket strappe

Ruby is the only language where extensively deep magic feels okay to me, for some reason. I don't like it in python, I don't like it in Java. But e.g. in Rails, sure I bump my head sometimes, but overall I like how magical Rails f

why is "greentext" such an expressive and iconic way of communicating in online text? win: feel nothing lose: day ruined communicates the same idea but feels less emotionally punchy somehow.

It varies a lot - sometimes the kids are in bed by 8 and I stay up till 11. Sometimes they're not in bed till 9 and I stay up till 12 and regret it the next day. I suspect as my kids get older (they're 4.5, 2.9, and 0.8 years old

So because some studies don't replicate or are corrupt, they all are, and we should rely blindly on gut instinct? The whole point is that science isn't a religion. Science is just forming a hypothesis, testing it, and then analy
