It is true that the underlying technology used to write the code to begin with should be less forgiving. If you use a strictly typed, compiled language instead of PHP, you would have no choice but to fix a lot more of the errors because it

Even if you can reason about the code enough to come to a conclusion that seems like it must be true, that doesn't prove your conclusion is correct. When you figure something out about the code, whether through reason and research, or

Thanks! These definitely sound like what I should explore next in my journey.

Which languages would you say are really good for defining your own types? Would they be a good fit for the example I provided where a function needs to accept integers larger than zero? Do they also allow you to define your own operations

This is a good point. Right now Kotlin is my favorite language. By default classes and methods are closed for inheritance, and therefore for polymorphism. I like the way this is the default, but you can override it when/if necessary. I

In Kotlin classes and methods are closed by default, making avoiding inheritance and polymorphism the default. It also makes you mark each variable as mutable or immutable, by declaring it with a var or val, making you think more about (and

The main benefit of classes is as a way to define custom types. Otherwise you are stuck with the types built into the language, which are not designed to help ensure correct program state, logic, and behavior. When you use classes in this w

I'm not saying you should not rename it instead. I'm just suggesting that there may be times when placing a helpful comment is easier than renaming it. So you might start by adding a comment, and then consider if you can rename th

I mostly agree with you. I think the key is to always keep improving the code, don't expect or try to achieve perfection, and keep refining your concept of what makes for "improved" code. So if you come across a method name t

Yeah, I would have recommended Kotlin. Runs on the JVM, so benefits from the matureness of Java, but is a more modern, and better designed language. A reason to choose Rust over this is if you actually have reason to believe you will need s

I prefer to just do screen sharing with an audio conversation going to maximize the learning and flexibility. Since I also like Sococo, I prefer to just stick to that, since that is one of the features it provides. I will now explain why. I

I was actually kind of excited until I started reading the sample code and that it deletes code that has bugs. Of course this coming from the guy who went on a reddit rant about how not having 100% coverage is usually irresponsible.

The intro video is very...interesting. They have this fast paced, upbeat music while they very slowly do things on the phone, like make phone calls. It felt like they thought we should be impressed it can make phone calls.

I like that it's open source now, but until they remove the need to mark certain references as weak or unknown, it still just feels like Apple doesn't get modern languages. Until the automatic memory management is more automatic,

Correct, but most of them do use it as a preservative. I agree the article should address this instead of just saying processed meats are bad. Also, high quality vitamin C can block the nitrosamine formation if you consume it with your proc
