Bit late to the thread, but I'm building a EU native jujutsu forge that optimises for productivity and ability to deliver your features faster. I saw that tons of companies are sti…

That's really cool! I tried getting on board with ERSC, but the timezone difference proved too much :(. At least it gave me the kick to try and build my own company, though!

Already working on that!

My experience is that in companies that rely on this flow, these assumptions are generally hashed out during design doc review/discussions. I have never had it happen to me that I …

Not sure if it makes you feel better, but it seems there's at least a few startups trying to get a jujutsu-native forge going, by people who have seen and used the way Google's (an…

Jujutsu makes the author-side of it all fairly nice, indeed. But the reviewer-side has been so horribly abandoned by github that it has been frustrating me for a long while now.

I would like to add that CachyOS also supports Niri, a scrolling tiling WM. As someone who long had "papercuts" from floating WMs I've had great success with it and even prefer it …

Depending on the country, it's not even that difficult to fire in the EU... (e.g. Estonia and Poland)

Well, they are wishing to lock you into their ecosystem, so that switching would be a high-friction decision. And then they can simply raise prices without you leaving.

Do you folks also hire outside the US?

Not anymore they don't (usual caveats apply: no longer work there; big company so YMMV). It was an option for a while, but getting it to work with the remote filesystems for the mo…

I just want to mention that in my personal anecdotal experience, every codebase I have ever worked on, except 1, was underengineered and not overengineered. The last one was just "…

Fairly certain they do something like Anthropic does, they count the acceptance rate or something else that is fairly "optimistic" (my org has a code acceptance rate of 98,5% per t…

I'm building a new version control forge around Jujutsu :). I think GitHub is pretty bad in its UX and I want to build something that is a) more opinionated than raw git; b) optimi…

My experience has so far been similar to the root commenter - at the stage where you need to have a long cycle with planning it's just slower than doing the writing + theory buildi…

I was really taken in by this premise a while back so I tried building some side projects with server side swift on my windows machine inside WSL. I really wanted to like it, but t…

No, but it is a European leader that has ~recently enjoyed that situation, but is no longer in it. Sorry, but I don't want to spell it out too obviously, for my own privacy.

I understand what you mean, but at this point I don't find it ironic at all. It's been quite similar in my corner of the world, where a leader enjoys great support and visibility e…

But if you just want a nicely typed interface for your APIs, in my experience gRPC is much more useful, because of all of the other downsides the blog author mentioned.

Could you please elaborate on "patterns for your interfaces"?

Not the person you asked, but I hate how it screws up keyboard shortcuts. It overrode the delete line shortcut with its own inline chat one, for example. Decided to ditch it for cl…

The IDE experience on Linux doesn't make it any better either. Oh how I wish I could have a working Swift :(.

My guy, obviously I tell the person they're pulling a dick move first. We're not talking some entry level staffers here, it's senior engineer FTEs who are employed at a tech compan…

I've decided to fight it the same way I fight tactical tornadoes - by leaving those people negative reviews at mid-year review. (I also find the people who simply paste LLM output …

(Yeah, I'd say your messaging was reasonably clear, but in the context of the whole thread it wasn't obvious whether the poster was putting themselves in that skill bucket.) I thin…
