Surprised Boone's mentioned AI yet. It's AI.

Canada shouldn't include Palantir at all.

Yuck.

Protip: never even mention undefined in your codebase. Erase it from your vernacular. If you ever need to pass or return nothing, you use null.

It's why fail fast is a thing

Kind of them to put the evil right in the name.

I for one look forward to rewriting the entirety of software after the chatbot era

I've used it for gixapixel scale rendering projects. Giant wall murals at 300 DPI. QGIS is incredibly powerful.

Generative AI worlds, real time neural rendered VR, plus BCI === end of the world as we know it

The vast majority of state problems in React are a result of nonsense cargo culting around the idea that classes are somehow bad.

Aye. Sign of the times. You're 20+ years in, so I'm preaching to the choir and old-man-yelling-at-cloud here. Cargo culting + AI are the culprits. Sucks to say, but engineering is …

Very cool article. Semantics are important and key. Article nails it. Reduce, reduce, and then reduce farther. I'll add my 2c: Ditch the cargo cults. Biggest problem in software de…

Time spent on "incidental complexity" (new features, key fixes, performance) versus time spent on "accidental complexity" (anything and everything else). Easy metric to understand,…

CTEs are extremely useful mechanisms for writing modular and easily maintainable queries, particularly around anything to do with ETL, graphs, and timeseries data. Highly recommend…

Always blows my mind how much time we waste talking about Git instead of just using it properly. Cheatsheet: - It's distributed horticulture. Your tools come saran-wrapped to the t…

I don't like this take. This post is for any engineering leader. The Bus Factor is how hard your team would suffer if you - or anyone else on the team - got hit by a bus. Ideal Bus…

Kudos to you. Bullshit metric.

Perhaps it was a response to the Arecibo message, and the response was "quiet, they'll hear you".

Came here to post this. I remember once when going back on ADHD meds, a very smart doctor adding 5mg of Dexedrine. At 5pm. I asked him why he would prescribe a stimulant so late in…

There are two things that everybody misses about OAuth and they fly under the radar. Nice to hear someone touch on one of them: you absolutely NEED to use a transaction as a distri…
