100% my mistake. Guess my European geographic knowledge is lacking there, oops.

My comment may come off that way, but I don't think there is a perfect equivalence, no. And if anything, every person has a different set of morality. I come from a point of practicality and lack of chaos. It's bad enough that we

I think that's a great idea. I for one want to enable our governments to track down criminals and punish them for it. If they're not doing everything they can do so in this technological and digital age, then they are breaking the

Except he's right. If you haven't noticed how crappy "AI" search is in Outlook and Teams then you probably don't use them. Even when it sorta works, it literally ignores search terms you put in the field, it gives y

As someone that has done a lot of projects for "the government" in the last 2 decades, it's unfortunately the case that all government departments and projects don't run well and are doomed to fail (funding or not). The

The problem with that small tidbit is that it immediately sets your type system to go down the path of Java and Typescript (which we all mock for it's crazy type systems and examples such as IImplementsFactoryAbstractMethodThingVirtual

It's a tough answer because we have had years of artificially-pumped support and development and ecosystem growth of Pydantic. But if I had to roll the clock back I'd recommend marshmallow and that entire ecosystem. It's defi

Wow really I had no idea. This rabbit hole goes deeper then I expected! In 2022, the project evolved into a commercial entity called Pydantic Services Inc., founded by Samuel Colvin and Adrian Garcia Badaracco, to build products around the

This is the Javascript hipster effect. FastAPI and Pydantic are pushed heavily because of their fancy docs page and the evangelism which thrives on reinventing the wheel. So we are all now stuck with everything being Pydantic this Pydantic

It's the padding! And the UX teams that add them into the designs! My cynical take is that an unholy pact was formed between FE devs and UX designers: By adding in "design" and "user experience" you essentially redu

It's also a very divisive and sensitive topic. I think we've been playing "everyone gets along" for far too long, and it's become obvious to the meek that people are gaming the system whilst pretending to get along.

We already agreed "right and wrong" when we enacted certain laws. Any more complicated than that and you might as well live in a war zone. You don't get to cherry-pick laws because your definition of "right" doesn&#

I find this comment very ironic in the context of this thread. Let's agree to disagree.

Sounds like the analysts and product owners didn't really want to solve this problem. Instead they ticked the boxes, got the bonuses, and the devs never questioned it and just implemented it for fear of being PIPed. I'm sure there

REST is just like scrum/agile. There is apparently some sort of "standard" but really anything goes and everyone does whatever they want.

We can buy ourselves a huge amount of time if we just stopped letting countries dump metric millions of tonnes of plastic into bodies of water for them to be endlessly ground-down into micro-sizes. As it is now, we're watching like dee

Definitely still an issue in C#. C# devs are just comfortable with the way it is because they don't know better and are held hostage. Everything in C# world after a certain size will involve IOC/DI and the entire ecosystem of fram

I think a big factor of that is that usually most people just do the positive feedback and don't say anything negative or constructive. So when someone does do so, it's seen as "wow, this must be so bad that they just had t

The place where I work at hires an ungodly amount of juniors and fresh-grads (because a lot of them drop out and quit before they do any meaningful work). We're talking people that are completely unproductive and unusable for any sort

I'm not advocating for vibe coding, that's new-age hipster talk. But just using the AI for help, assistance, and doing grunt work is where we have to go as an industry.

I'd rather give my green or clueless or junior or inexperienced devs said knives than having them throw spaghetti on a wall for days on end, only to have them still ask a senior to help or do the work for them anyways.

The problem I've seen with those is that all those places have turned to using Airbnb to manage guests and bookings. The whole little industry that spawned is beyond bizarre to me. Like everyone wanting to hyper optimize and the unique

You should be doing this dynamically based on the version of python you are running against, so that you don't have to hardcode or make such "conservative" choices by hand.
