Develop live on production (CI/CD). No source control, there's only 1 version of the software; the latest version (trunk based development).

You could have an lsp server of infinite speed, but that wouldn't help one bit if the bottleneck is how the client deals with the messaging. The specific techniques used to send, r…

I have first hand experience of painfully slow C# compile times. Sprinkle in a few extra slow things like EDMX generated files (not C# but part of the MS ecosystem) and it has no b…

Possibly yes. Artificially kept going by the Sun and Earth's own molten core. Once those go out out it's game over for earth.

It's not literally the age that's the issue, it's just a correlation. Some employers want people they can squeeze more easily and get the most juice out of. Younger people are more…

Same but from a C vs Go perspective. Didn't like GC or bundling dependencies into the final binary. But at the end of the day it's still small compared to most other languages depl…

I was coming here to say: "grep as IDE". It's dynamic language tooling 101. Find defs and refs. Master a little bit of regex and you will reduce false positives. Grep serves as a r…

Web based UI's (javascript baked in) are the only cross platform GUI all the major tech players endorse. Companies like Apple are hostile to alternative GUI frameworks, except web …

Another tig user! Proof there are 1's of us out there.

> C# supports structs, That's sort of the problem with C#. It couples the type (struct vs class) with allocation. C# started life by copying 1990's Java "everything-is-a-reference"…

True, but running errcheck will catch cases where you accidentally ignore the error. Maybe not as good as having it built-in to the language like Rust, but the goal of error check …

Yes I think there is a bubble. I think AI may become extremely impressive but still be limited. A lot of tasks involve having context to produce a correct solution. AI can whip up …

That's a pretty good take. Would make sense for a whole range of apps focused on 1 user or client. Accounting software is personal, company A doesn't need to query/join with data o…

You should have 0 cents. Squash and chill is the way to go.

Free market is not a metric. It's just natural selection. No one needs to understand it for it to run its course.

PDF has a proper "page" abstraction. Printing to paper is a first class feature, not an bolted-on afterthought. A page in an electronic viewer will print out a to a nice and neat p…
