I think this is true for Nix in the deployment/ops space, where debugging a broken build can be very frustrating. Language improvements are going to be less useful for app develope…

I've started running Nomad in my homelab, and it is a great piece of software. Although I feel like the question is sort of flawed, if you want to learn Kubernetes, you are going t…

If you end up not liking (or not wanting to learn) k8s, check out Hashicorp's Nomad. I set it up recently, it's great for a homelab, and a bit more flexible than k8s because it can…

Yes, please. The first couple paragraphs of this PR I thought I was reading about Riot Games renaming themselves.

The module spec lets you put the minimum version in it; so the scenario you raise in your second paragraph would not happen. The import paths are just there to allow you to have bo…

Boiler plate in my example would be everything that needs to be written for a class in Java, not specific to sorting: new file, imports, getters, setters etc. compared to a few lin…

I think this article is a great illustration of the things a Java developer will struggle with while they are learning Go. I no longer write Java, and I now view many of these as s…
