Jsonnet is pretty nice but the library support isn't quite as good. There are some nice libraries for yaml that do round trip processing for example so you can modify a yaml progra…

I wonder if it will ever be practical or economical to have humans and machines driving together on the roads we have now though. Maybe we'll skip that step and go to robot-only ro…

It's very effective. Both times I've wanted to give them my money. But mac only, geeze

They just haven't done the "now monitise it" step in the vibe-coding journey.

Blue windscreen of death you say

Glad to see diamond inheritance being a problem in other fields

The goal isn't to use AI, though, it's to be productive. Maybe for you AI + writing support tools to improve your workflow makes you more productive and that's great! For me, for t…

Why dumb down your work worse because the machine can't understand it?

> From the perspective of the traditional server business, such a developer is unfortunately often seen as rather helpless—someone who needs assistance with everything, can’t run t…

That isn't always true, there's plenty of times where companies push features that users don't want. No Chrome users have been clamouring for more ads and more invasive tracking, f…

I've used graylog the most so that's what it looks like to me :P. I like how you can do a bunch of extraction stuff right there in the query interface though, that's awesome. It se…

I'm not sure why you wouldn't set up your own mirror regardless, it costs peanuts and it's much faster

That picture at the beginning is a high quality troll, I spent ages looking at it before I read the caption: "The team set up traps in vegetation areas like this one to capture Mou…

It's a bit more effort but it just can't be beat for documentation.

The DSL (and associated IDE support) is about the only thing I like about puppet

Check out ImHex, I think that's an example of where it works.

I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but I have a hunch that getting to the point where performance becomes a significant factor (in the success or failure of a product) isn't …

I don't think using Zig over Python is gonna have the biggest impact in making your next big company successful. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the quality of people you have…

Microsoft are expert at hiding the strings. I prefer obvious strings if there have to be strings attached.

I'm charitably reading it as "if I must develop on a Mac, this is a great way" :)

Why have a title at all?

It's absolutely insane how many core devs argued against change there

The language has grown on me a bit. I initially hated it but a lot of my pain was not actually the language but the lack of good docs for the standard library. Still struggle with …

My (somewhat sarcastic) comment was just that Apple hardware is more expensive than Linux/Windows hardware. If you use Linux then I would say the docker experience is quite good. I…

Spent all the budget on Apple hardware
