Zumba | Software Engineer | Full Time | Fully Remote (US - FL, TX, NC, CO, UT, WA, MA) We're looking for a full-stack engineer experienced with PHP 8 and Javascript/Typescript. Joi…

I looked into this subject a bit more deeply in regards to Go, and you are right. Go doesn't have a REPL built in, and most of the implemented REPLs only work off of stdin. So, the…

Indeed, I'm going to think about some of the suggestions you mentioned the next time I'm in there playing with it. Perhaps I'll hit a wall with delve that other language tools (lik…

Correct, but it does allow you to modify values in memory, so you could do the branching and state changes as you go. I admit I could have made that flow more "editable" from the d…

I don't mind the criticism at all. I don't use it often enough to claim expertise. Fair points about my usage. You can still get proper editor support with Golang (even though it i…

I rarely use REPL driven development, however in my limited experience using it, it only makes integration testing faster, not unit testing. I used this methodology with a Slack bo…

I suspect most organizations are guilty of these items and much more, they just haven't been thrust into the lime-light so suddenly like Zoom. Having posts like this to learn from …

Why is option 3 the best choice? Doesn't that significantly increase the chances of accidents?

Depending on the store, it's not as simple as the systems not talking to each other. It's more likely that the system for the store front is either out of sync or incorrect. The sy…

I first started down the text path, but not being able to "highlight" previous plays and check turned me towards generating graphics instead.

I've also created a slack bot for fun to allow slack teammates to play chess within slack: https://github.com/cjsaylor/chessbot . The bot I built is a more traditional server setup…

I created a similar open source tool for this for work a few years ago called drill-sergeant: https://github.com/zumba/drill-sergeant However, it leaves the scheduling mechanism up…

We use git flow at work, which means we rely on PRs to be reviewed and merged in order to make it into staging/production. This tool was made to give us a report of stale PRs to kn…

Not that I disagree, but the downside is that you would have the browser fragmentation that alot of people use electron to avoid.

Fair points. I guess it wasn't super clear from the pricing example. I think, as you say, expressing the price per CPU time rather than wall clock time is what would better sell me…

Todoist is a centralized todo list application. What my app does is hooks into their API, pulls out the completed items and sends an email digest to the address of your choice base…
