While porting to Rust has been a trend, as Prettier runs on every save, the speed boosts will be significant. I'll be trying out Biome soon. Congrats to the Biome project!

I recommend using the lint-staged tool so Prettier only runs on every save on changed files . It makes a huge difference on large projects.

Tangental but for anyone using lint staged + typescript, I recommend tsc-files[1].

where are you finding these rates at? i have rarely seen anything even passing $100/hr in canada, contract or not

IT developers are often around $100/hour outside Toronto, Toronto being a bit more. Upwards of $150-200 if its speciality work or you're a team lead. It varies though, the market also exists for $80/hour java developers, which tend to be new grads Contract Developers going to technical companies will earn more like $180+.

every time rates come up on this website, people come out of the woodwork claiming "most" developers in every north american country make half a million or more a year. it's hard to not feel like this is just a few people using this as an opportunity to brag about their rates in niche industries (or people are just lying)

i have been a contract developer, and have worked at technical companies in canada, and have never seen rates that are even close (and im not a jr / have never used java for work outside of small amounts for mobile.) there's no way these rates are as common as you are all making them out to be, unless it's some niche, or you're talking about extremely short contracts, or there's some other missing piece of context

>Great programmer who has the skill to answer this bounty get paid at least $200 an hour (extremely conservative estimate) Dang! What do you base this estimate on? The Rust aspect, or parsing aspect, or intersection of both?

Depends on the geography and/or whether the knowledge is highly specific. As a datapoint, the average Dutch contracting rates I see for IT development (think: Java, Swift, Kotlin) range somewhere from €75 - €150/h. Higher is possible, but then you're talking very specific expertise and typically shorter projects. I'm on the hiring side, this is a figure across some 20 external devs. I think it's representative of the…

I think most people on here are citing US based conditions, particularly with respect to healthcare costs and various taxes.

Prettier often makes code written using sequences of .chaining much more difficult to read by forcing it all to the same line. For the same reason, it often makes code written using composition more difficult to read since it won't let you decide when to put a sub-call on its own indented line for clarity.

I had the same gripe, and recently tried switching to dprint. It is much less aggressive with changing where lines break, and honestly it’s a huge relief to be able to break lines wherever I think makes the code most readable. It’s also significantly faster than prettier. I’ve been very happy with it.

dprint is soo much better (configurable) and already written in Rust so very fast

I am sad it's not getting more popular

does it? prettier is extremely configurable, unlike gofmt. so deferring to the authority of prettier is essentially deferring to the authority of the prettier.yml config. not that i have a problem with that _per se_, i’d expect the author(s) to take responsibility and appreciate that they’re defining/imposing their own taste(s).

> prettier is extremely configurable That's the opposite of what they claim: https://prettier.io/docs/en/option-philosophy

the delta, when prettier is introduced in a project for the first time, not counting +/- whitespace and semicolons (where none existed) isn’t huge. where it matters, the configuration options you get is all that’s necessary.

but those are for at least a few weeks of engagement, no? 8h/day, right?

yes, likely months of engagement at 36-40h per week
