You can't wish the complexity of business logic away. If it is vast and interconnected, then so is the code.

And have a dozen versions of the same logic leading to subtle bugs in production.

If only I had a pound for every discarded vape canister littered on the ground I've seen in London over the past few years. Will the ban fix this? I barely even know what a vape is…

> I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life. We've got China cheat…

Who said I want my own data centre if I don't want to use AWS/GCP/Azure?

>It wont be easy or painless but it wont be impossible either. With data egress costs, all the security infrastructure built up is all bespoke to a provider, not to mention enginee…

No this argument is not analogous. I worked for a bank that upped and moved offices on a commercial lease renewal. Let me know when you hear of a bank migrating Cloud providers and…

After the book Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools, 2nd edition. Located in the UK, thanks.

I like this, package.json starts to look really ugly when you build up lots of scripts that need to run interdependently. For example some stubbed back ends, front end, some auth s…

I feel like Slack is 80% of the problem. Honestly I'd like to get rid of it at our company, and just have everything come down/go back up through my manager. I realise some of you …

>bit off more than it could chew The fact that Dmitry was still pushing changes on the aeroplane, although he seemed to frame this as a positive, doesn't exactly inspire a lot of c…

Great discussion following the article in the comments. Bunsen was a legend.

The OP's article says Cadmium is not well absorbed from the gut. So even less reason to be concerned.

OP learnt about idempotency in http the hard way. However the post reminded me that I don't particularly like this hydration step of NextJS apps where there is javascript executing…

Follow the Ruby on Rails getting started guide and build a toy Rails web app. It has conventional http semantics baked in, you'll learn a lot.

It is indeed slow. It's a library written by non-developers for non-developers and it shows in the APIs.

Also their other well known problem: you lose the program state if an exception is thrown in the monad above.

I don't want to be relying on another flaky LLM for anything mission critical like this. Just fix the original problem, don't layer an LLM into it.

No not test harder. You should be testing anyway.

What I mean is this code should be tested like any other, using visual testing suites like playwright or cypress.

Read my message again, I'm not saying 'just don't do that'.

The model of a word to a vector breaks down really quickly one you introduce the context and complexity of human language. That's why we went to contextual embeddings, but even the…

What is 'it' here in your sentence above?

I think in a nutshell you are saying a developer could accidentally hit tab one too many times. Just test against any visual regressions, it's not hard.

Honestly I always had a soft spot for haml. If someone wrote a haml plugin for React I would be in heaven. It's JSX that is an ugly hot mess in mature codebases, not html.
