Ya I’m curious too. How would you switch to Twilio without doing the coding yourself?

Is that take from the gut or is there data to back that up?

I've worked worked developers that have a hardline against ORMs. I see lot of their points, especially around the performance of raw SQL. But I cannot get past how much boilerplate…

Note to others: Try not to defend yourself in an apology. Otherwise it ceases to become an apology, and instead becomes a list of reasons why there should be no accountability.

To add on: cancellation === accountability. Which many people seem to forget.

I'll give you that things are hardly ever binary. But toxicity is something that can be determined. They are the people do not care about others. They do not listen, no matter how …

I could not disagree more. This whole statement is "sorry, not sorry". If someone is known to be a toxic person (and currently still is), you do not let them on to your team. Ever.…

So in case of Oracle, OpenJDK will still be viable?

Let's say Google loses... badly. What will be the practical consequences for us software engineers?

Most expensive "historical" movies are wrong too. Otherwise I totally agree with you. I just don't think how much a movie cost to make matters much with regards to historical accur…

I've never understood snapshot tests either. My team tried them early on but abandoned them quickly. Whats the value in them?

In addition to Storybook, their Chromatic product is amazing. Hot take: Delete your snapshot tests. Use Chromatic instead.

As long as the GDP grows faster then the deficit/interest, we’re good.

I'm curious about those who use a monorepo with microservices: how do you solve CD/CI? Is Bazel the only solution?

Per the presentation, you would need to weigh the benefits/costs. Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, I would argue the cost of adding is very low. The benefits will be n…

Having read (and enjoyed) that trilogy, I'm not making the connection. Which part?

This isn't going to work. Latency will make this dead on arrival for multiplayer games.

I'd curious to know what strategies make secrecy a necessity. I come from a WebDev background and open-source libraries are almost always always secure and safer then your own (due…

I think he's implying a cheater's injected DDL would be tailored for a specific build, so if they shared it with others, it would be ineffective. And not only that, but based on ho…

That would assume the server is sharing the knowledge of other players through the fog of war.
