I love Costco, but I get it. My wife and I always joke about how we can't leave without spending at least $100, and how that's only like 7 items sometimes.

> .NET is certainly better than Python, but I'm not very happy with the type system and the code organization versus my Rust projects. Have you given F# a whirl?

You can write a helper method (or use FsToolkit.ErrorHandling[0]) to simplify the F# example to: let Foo () = getData() |> Task.map _.value And it'll be easier to work with the .NE…

For me, AI code generation for F# has been pretty good! There's one annoying thing Opus/Sonnet do (honestly don't remember what other models do): use old syntax for array indexing.…

I don't think it's an exclusive choice between the two, though. I think senior engineers will end up doing both. Looking at GitHub Copilot's agent, it can work asynchronously from …

The only thing that might be tricky about FizzBuzz is if the person doesn't know about the modulo operator. I can't remember the last time I used it in production code; I use it fa…

I agree people should be able to design things property, but I'm not sure this ramp is actually a good example. It might be! But no one is talking about an obvious issue for any ra…

For another perspective, if you put 22.5lbs on each side of the bar, you wouldn't call that a "1 plate" lift even though both sides add up to 45 lbs. There are no plates involved i…

I cannot stress enough that I think your second bullet is missing the point by a country mile. The Substack post is specifically talking about Nazi viewpoints, not "bad" viewpoints…

In my mind, the difference between errors-as-values and exceptions is most useful when describing domain-specific errors and other issues that you have to handle in support of the …

It's possible that you could end up with your example as given, but I think you could organize it differently so that it has your handling while also maintaining the same basic top…

What was the content of the "handled" tweets, though? I think that matters a lot. For example, the RealJamesWood tweet (from [0]) seems to be a leaked nude of Hunter; it was most l…
