Open source is nice. I actually find these types of tools useful in testing where you don’t have time to do a full automated suite but you need to compare data between systems

Maybe this should be settled Musk v Zuck style for the internal tooling crown? On a more serious note how does this compare with Retool? I remember that doing the HN rounds in 2019 and it’s still going

I think this happens with experience - I’ve recently done the same after spending years chasing languages to work in

Stack vs Cabal was a huge argument where I worked with multiple teams using different build tools. Add Nix and nix2whatever, and it was more fun. Spent half my time debugging build instructions

Etudes for Programmers is really hard to find to purchase - looks like it is around 450 USD on my local Amazon store and none in local libraries. Does anyone have a link to a PDF of it instead?

Thanks for the info! That would explain why I spend so much time fighting dependency errors when I upgrade something ML related ...

I got asked to write a book by Packt as a lead author with two years experience in a junior position. This was a (badly) paid role of like 800 GBP or something. Take from that what you will...

Not at all! Although some of them will be people like me having it on the side monitor day dreaming while they write CRUD :)

I’ve heard a lot about Bazel but are there any good beginner tutorials? When I last looked it felt a little Nix-like (high learning curve to get through which I prefer to ignore for my tooling where possible)

Bit of a tangent here but what’s a pip/npm/cargo like package manager for C++? For example ‘pip install boost’? I’ve never worked it out for hobby projects and never worked with it commercially

Imagine how much more productive we’d be if Kubernetes had VMMonads, and instead of yaml configs we have Kubernetes Combinators!

Step 1: Make a beginner friendly language with minimal syntax and nice concurrency primitives. Step 2: Add “Monoids for the Endomorphism where the `concat` operation is the usual function composition.” Step 3: … Step 4: Profit?

Didn't the guy who made Homebrew fail his interview at Google because he couldn't invert a binary tree? That's a guy who has built a popular product in the wild and can clearly code but failed because of the leetcode barrier

I logged them as issues for you, good luck! As a test engineer it's great to see more test tooling around generative AI :)

The docs for this aren't great - leaked api keys, code doesn't run, etc...

I really dislike benchllm's use of yamls for test cases - I'd rather it be in code. """ input: What's 1+1? Be very terse, only numeric output expected: - 2 - 2.0 """

The problem is when you use feature flags for customer-bespoke reasons or to enable paid features. Then they’re always there and have to be tested in combinations which sucks .

There’s many reasons you test in production! The most recent TiP project I worked on was running a regression suite against production to notify outages before before users did (in an irregularly used but critical system, such that you can’

Agreed, although most companies in Oxford never really matched living costs either (well, housing costs) - Oxford Uni pay staff comparably to other companies in the area (like Elsevier or Oxford Computer Consultants). Let alone the low sala
