Exceptions are not the issue, Ruby's inherent "cleverness" is. Whatever problems the original commenter has with exceptions likely stems from this.

I don't think that's what the commenter is claiming. I think they want to be able to sue the companies who indirectly benefit from this kind of spam, which is pretty ridiculous. Ho…

Can we please stop pretending that Ruby/Rails is in any way a good choice for software that needs to be safe? I do understand that it is what it is and GitLab has to deal with it, …

What are the chances the United States (and others) follow suit? For startups, I assume most will continue to live on the App Store lest they force their users into two different e…

I just love how we can have a critical study about a failure that could have possibly led to the death of dozens if not 100+ people, a failure in something as routine and critical …

Let them give you their gifts! God, AI is ruining EVERYTHING.

Could not agree more. Older generations wonder why younger generations are "quiet quitting" and using all this anti-capitalist rhetoric when in the same breath they're sending HR g…

It's funny that they're using peer-to-peer to literally mean sending payments from one person to another, rather than it being the technical definition. I wonder if it's a marketin…

But usually, when we want to build The Platform, it at least has some unique utility or offering that would solve a real problem. But I guess that's just not the case here.

Am I missing something critical here? Why would people want to send payments over Twitter (I understand it's X, but I'm using Twitter to emphasize that the product is still, exclus…

...the product teams that are left after pruning should try to keep the most experienced employees, lay off the junior ones... I think I know the generation the author belongs to

I wonder if it would be a good idea to move the whole HATEOAS thing towards things like desktop and mobile apps. Might be a fun experiment.

The entire reason this is a big deal is that people don't know what their dependencies are. The left-pad incident wasn't a big deal because it was pulled, it was a big deal because…

I think those are two different scales. Libertarianism Authoritarianism Capitalism Communism Usually the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle of both, which is what the United Sta…

>The burden should be on them to ensure their child is not consuming porn This argument is essentially that it's acceptable for websites to show porn to children if their parents d…

I feel like a lot of the comments here are said ironically but would actually be wonderful for much of society. Very tired of the libertarian arguments when they obviously don't wo…

Velcro!

(Unrelated to the OP - but I've been so frustrated by this for so long that it's worth the [flagged]) A product like this is exactly what I've been looking for with pretty great pr…

With Twitter being worse than ever while also implementing the paid-for blue check, I'm no longer convinced that nominal costs solve much of anything. Maybe it's a different model …

It's strange that I have the opposite feeling while consulting. I work for a "big tech" company and do consulting work on the side, and it's the former that has all of the Slack/Zo…

Wow! Im amazed at how fast and pretty Bluesky is compared to other web applications, especially Twitter's.

You're right - I should have clarified that I'm talking about new projects - as in "Why would someone choose Postgres over one of these distributed SQLite providers for a new proje…
