Based on the article, the title should be, "Why is C Git faster than JGit." It's literally nothing but that.

There's no counter argument to an article that specifically breaks down why C git is faster that JGit back in 2009. Lucene isn't relevant.

They don't show up because their not out evangelizing every oppurtunity they get.

What exactly is switching to Rust?

I'm not convinced scripting languages are not suitable for large projects. It's said a lot, but I've never seen proof one way or the other. I suspect unmanageable code-bases derive…

I roll my window up if I'm near motorcycles. There's been too many times when my ear got blasted all of a sudden. Worse is booming bass. Not while driving, but at home from the nei…

Can't wait for this. I'm still on his 'patterns' book. He's such a good author.

This is what happens when you're impatient.

For beginners, this is the last book to start with. I'm a big fan of Doug Crockford, but this book is opinionated and the examples are often not well explained.

I'm not a Java developer so forgive my ignorance, but is Eclipse as good as IntelliJ?

NVME might be the greatest advancement ever in terms of noticable speed improvement. SSD was alright, but I wasn't blown away by it.

There should be no shared code and all projects should be totally isolated from eachother. If you need shared code, fork it and maintain it to your needs.

That was elegant and much more insightful.

There's also a school of thought that managers are not necessary. I'm a big fan of it.

This actually makes sense. No need for the big survellance net.

Yes, it is about the deadlines. That's what keeps me getting a paycheck, which is the reason I'm working. What you describe as teamwork is just every day development activity. Ther…

Merry Christmas and Happy Hacking from NorthWest Arkansas! Don't let the hogs get away from you! :)

More often than not, I see code without any comments. There's this idea of writing self documenting code that really changed the commenting world. And that whole thing was evangeli…

I've also seen it where every comment was just who made the code change and the date. "John K. 10/13/1994"

Man, I've been bit a few times with this. I'll read code and think, "Why the hell did they do that?" Later, when I'm almost done re-writing it, I see the edge case they were workin…

Only in the mind of the person writing it.

Yep. I make a commit on every little change and every team I've been on makes me squash them on merge. Comments in Git commits are bad. Just comment the code and make sure the comm…

I understood it along the same lines as you and don't understand the down-voting.

Yeah, I'm a pen and paper guy. Make a list of things to do each day and start at the top. If I don't finish the list, it's the beginning of the next day's list. For some reason, I …
