I don't write Perl or Ruby anymore, but this would have been immensely helpful back then.

If you sort by Issues, C++ is #3 and trending up.

We’ve had Lisp for 60 years, but instead of using that, we’re going to have LLMs write the boilerplate for us. You will still have to read the boilerplate of course.

I think Rob Pike would agree that "smart objects" is the wrong way to think about it: https://commandcenter.blogspot.com/2012/06/less-is-exponenti...

Thousands of classes with indirection is absolutely Clean Code. It's in the book.

I use a gaming monitor with an inoffensive design and a monitor arm. You can't easily tell that it's a gaming monitor because I'm not using the ugly stand that came with the monito…

Does that mean you would get paid less for living in Queens County instead of New York County?

The factory is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding factory.

Make your alt keys do control, your win keys do alt, and your control keys do win. No more Emacs pinky.
