I think integration tests, e2e tests or smoke tests still provide value. Even for things that you don’t control directly, but at some point you have control over it. You could simp…

Looks like AI slop posted by an AI bot.

Very true. I think the authors area settles more in the webdev area, where you can make releases multiple times per day. > Optimize for what best serves your purpose. If you have h…

Yep, fast feedback cycles are important.

I agree. Over-engineering is something many projects suffer from. Principles like YAGNI and KISS help, but it is hard to enforce them by tooling. So it remains a discipline of the …

I assume that the author means, when it is easy to change something in the code (i.e. without fear because you have a very good test automation), then it is easy to apply changes l…

> Users being susceptible to dark patterns doesn't mean that dark patterns are something an engineer should see as acceptable. I think it is not even an engineers job to define the…

Yes, there is probably no UX/UI approach that makes 100% of the users happy.

Nope. Not AI, its written by a human https://github.com/screendriver/echooff.dev

Yes, I have registered on HN exactly for the purpose of sharing and responding to one of the articles. For full disclosure the blog author is a former coworker and I read his blog …

Wait... can you decide for something? Is it now AI Slop or not AI slop because of the soup of bullet points which doesn’t look like AI?

I really like the quote "Blazing fast is not a requirement"... maybe I should print this on a t-shirt.

I mostly agree with the author that optimizing a code base for change should be the number 1 priority, but I think it is different topic than for example application performance. A…

I agree with the author that precise terminology matters, calling something “unit testing” when it isn’t can definitely blur discussions. That said, I think the underlying issue is…

I’m not sure if I share the authors opinion. When I was hand-writing code I also followed the boy-scout rule and did smaller refactorings along the line.

I’m curious as well. Github is one of the rare products out there that get actual valuable user feedback. So why not just ask the users for specific feedback instead of tracking al…

This wouldn’t have happened with Nat Friedman.

Rspack is great, I’m using it since 2 years already for all of my projects. Things I would like to see improved: - programmatic API, especially when it comes about extracting build…

15 years ago I was a big fan of this chaining methods pattern. These days I don’t like it anymore. Especially when it comes to unit-testing and implementing fake objects it becomes…

Yeah, given there insane pricing I think the expectations can be higher. Although I know it is impossible to provide 100% secure system, but if something like that happens, then th…
