I had a similar issue. The blind spot was unit tests. I think the issue is just that it's incredibly hard to sell an abstract idea and incredibly hard to convince people to abandon…

>You can embed DSLs in CUE CUE lets you embed functions too it looks like it's almost a programming language itself. The closer a configuration language gets to a programming langu…

It is. I run a very similar script on termux, triggered via termux widget on my home screen.

I run single script that does a commit, pull and merge without pulling open the editor. It takes a couple of seconds and works fine.

I wrote a command line tool called "orji" coz of this (still in alpha). I wanted to use orgzly or a text editor and just be able to write templates (in jinja2) or bash scripts to p…

>you sort of can't make standalone ELisp apps (or at least nobody does). Otherwise you'd just have an `org2html` and `org2pdf` application at the command line. Because I don't like…

I dont think it is about discipline. Discipline is required if you're duplicating tedious work, not for creativity. At its core, a good test will take an example and do something w…

It's not purely about skill, code quality also improves as a function of discipline, a willingness to take risks and outside pressure. fwiw I dont think Ive ever seen clean code th…

The best way to conceptualize hexagonal is as a kind of crutch to accomodate the inability of unit tests to effectively fake stuff like the db and their tendency to tightly couple …

>And stuff like mocks etc take far longer to write than a 5 line fix If you test from the outside in and build up a library of functional and realistic fakes then over time then th…

Thats interesting. You had almost exactly the same idea as me: https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory

Literate programming shouldnt necessarily apply to application code for large systems but I almost always want more literate tests that clearly explain not just what should happen …

They're attacking the problem from two directions - bottom up and top down. I view the type system as a way to whittle down the state space to the bare minimum while the tests vali…

MongoDB is still around.

Why not attach debugging tools to the tests?

This is neat. >For example give a marketing agency authentication to claim the domain on social media but nowhere else. How does it prevent them from claiming it elsewhere?

They are useful if you program in a somewhat object oriented way. They are deeply unhelpful if they're all either "method(self) -> dict" or "method(input: pd.DataFrame)"

cProfile and locust are two commonly used profiling and load testing tools.

* Ruthlessly prioritize by pain - a lot of technical debt is "icky" but doesn't cause much pain. Some causes a lot of very serious pain. The latter is what you need to focus on. Th…

I sometimes wonder if Selenium wouldn't have been able to beat back Playwright more if it had reserved the rights to run SaaS services on top and used some of the proceeds to fund …

I believed this would apply to me too but it ended up slower than 4g. Modems also appear to range from £250-£900 on amazon.
