Happy for the team, sad for users. I just don’t believe their work will continue under new ownership

I’d recommend checking out Nick Milo’s ideaverse. The idea is about how to capture in a way that sparks ideas and actions not collects

This has been my experience. Just a bunch of ego stroking

I wish people would stop holding onto compatibility as if it is some amazing feature. It has benefits, but also comes with many drawbacks to innovation and improvement in establish…

I love their software and am happy for the humans behind it all. As a customer who doesn’t believe they won’t force a subscription on me, I wish I had never supported them

Many large companies suffer from the concept of shadow IT. The use of software and services that aren’t blessed by the company to accomplish tasks that are blessed. As someone in s…

Broadly speaking, yes, but for some situations like database models with bi-directional relationships that can cause unnecessary maintenance burden simply for the benefit of type c…

I tried to use custom css in vscode but couldn’t figure out how to get it to work.

https://blog.logrocket.com/why-typescript-enums-suck/ may be a good introduction. I love enums in other languages but they can come with some unexpected behaviors in typescript

That differs but is a reasonable understanding. I’m instead referring to automations that perform large scale refactoring as handled by Facebook, who would be contributing to this …

https://github.com/facebookarchive/codemod Ironically this is also from Meta which would be contributing to this space increasing the expertise of achieving this result.

I think this is where concepts from Rust and Go could come in handy. Things like Go’s race condition detection and rust’s compiler validation approaches can be used to statically a…

That’s not what that library was in my opinion, it was a compatibility layer not a rewriting tool which is what I referenced. Having a layer in between simply prolongs the issue an…

Seeing so many comments about how hard it is to just break compatibility and upgrade is sad. Instead of just throwing our hands up and saying it’s too hard, we could adopt the mode…

iPads are amazing for certain professional tasks: - Artists (still or motion) - Writing (or related tasks like Editing) - Mobile roles (sales, aspects of healthcare such as patient…

Fair, I appreciate the answer. I guess I’ve just seen enough purchases where it’s just for the payday that I’m a bit cynical. Thanks again for taking the time to read and answer, w…

Do you believe given Docker’s history of poor strategy (e.g., monetizing late requiring changes that negatively impact reputation such as docker desktop and hub), communication (e.…

This makes it a non-starter for a lot of teams I think, in large enterprises it can be difficult to keep track of licenses like this, especially if you have situations like open co…

Can you elaborate on why this is surprising for those who don’t fully understand the differences?

As someone who works for a large company, 100%, and not just that, the restrictions on allowed interview questions can be so limiting that even if we could do better, we aren’t all…

I’m not convinced by the argument as it sounds like it’s tone implies that it’s written to people who aren’t aware of who their audience is. Sure, not all of these tools are right …

I learned about Python dev mode in this, thanks! For anyone else: https://docs.python.org/3/library/devmode.html

Thank you for sharing! Any resource to understand how others have solved or approached this problem is valuable.

This looks amazing. Does anyone know a good resource for creating database-backed state machines? Eg states are defined in the database

I really loved Vice Games, aka Waypoint. The team over there really gave it their all and it showed. Sad to see this happen
