The conclusion of the blog are not great either. Sure you should have tests, sure you shouldn't copy paste code you don't understand and you shouldn't push directly to production. But, regardless of all that, the main issue o

The idea of moving fast is to have extensive logs and alerts so you fix all error fasts while they appear without "wasting time" with long expensive tests in a phase where things change every day. 5 days to find out you have &quot

CEO thoughts: "Oh post-morten are always well received, I should write one for that very really basic bug we had and how we took 5 days to find it, and forget to mention how we fix it or how we have changed our structure so that it nev

They don't have logs and commit directly to production 10/20 times a day. I don't think 128 bits vs 36 byte performance it's a main concern right now

Sure not having tests, is bad. Doing thing with AI without triple checking is dangerous. But not having error logging/alerts on your db ? That's the crazy part. This is a new product, is not legacy code from 20 years ago when they

ChatGPT-4o might spot it when asking about the code directly, but this was a conversion from js to python, errors where chatgpt/copilot or any other AI will allucinate or make mistakes to be as close as the original code are very comm

Their point is that Apple app could do that and it was unfair to block other apps to be able to do the same.

It's not wrong that AMP is a terrible thing in a pretty package. While the idea of having standards for mobile and slow connection might be a noble one, forcing everyone into it by using mobile search results as ransom is an evil pract

And unfortunately nothing will change because what you want to do is better in every single way, but their way of doing thing is better in the only one that actually counts: It's faster and cheaper.

Welcome to code development in the real world 101. You either go insane, give up and take up beekeeping, start your own company or finally decide to not give a shit anymore and start hacking the same way as everybody else because in the end

Google has checks in place to see if someone is serving things to GoogleBot differently that the rest of the users. So it almost definitely has bots that double checks pages without the user-agent. If the "disguised" googlebot is

Biggest issue is that the system probably doesn't have a flag Test /Not Test. The Test Records probably do the same thing just to a smaller list than the real one. So there is no real way to separate them.

I think there is a dissonance between smart personalized suggestion and being against tracking. Which is the main downfall of DuckDuckGo they use as the smart bar search engine. If you want good suggestions and smart personalization you nee

Electron main selling point is being cross platform. Having it only Ubuntu/macOS seems counter-intuitive.

This is just a simple example for this kind of situation. Of course, you could make it faster by removing everything under 128 from the array before starting the loop, but it's not really the point here.

The ai keep throwing guesses in 20 seconds until he got the right one. So if you draw a simple shape it start to go trough the list of things he recognize and end the game there. It works great for this game because he can have very fast an

I think that is probably best solution. Just having the audio I can easily do it right now by doing the search in another tab while having the video playing in the background. Anyway, I like the idea and what you did, even if it is still an

The problem with all this "advices" is that they boil down to "just study". I agree that been prepared for an interview is a good thing, if you are ready and have studied you show that you are willing and that you put in

Yes, ok I agree. 100% agree. But micro optimization has always the same caveat: Of course it is not irrelevant, it might even be very important, in very specific cases. But if you are not one of those cases (and you should already know if y

Yes, I agree. But, in many (if not most) situations the ms you loose by doing more round trips then necessary are not worth how much more maintainable the system is. Especially when there is probably some programming or query optimization t
