I've implemented several of these ideas, and they worked just fine.

I don't understand the architecture section. The title is "layered architecture," but then it talks about Ports/Adapters, which would be hexagonal architecture?

I was about to leave a very witty "just be idempotent ;)" response but did not consider the nonce. I'd be surprised if Google is quick to change this, so I guess be stateful on the receiving server, persist that you handled a

They're clearly trying to imitate human interaction, and believe it or not, the vast majority of humans have genders they're perfectly happy with.

At this point, I cannot take these kinds of safety press releases serious anymore. None of those models pose any serious risk, and it seems like we're still pretty far away from models that WOULD pose a risk.

After having used Datadog for several years, going back to Grafana / Loki / Prometheus felt like regressing by two decades. As much as I appreciate free solutions, I feel like Grafana has really fallen behind when it comes to deve

Calling Postgres experts: Why, exactly, do we need to put a memory cache such as Redis in front of Postgres? Postgres has its own in-memory cache that it updates on reads and writes, right? What makes Postgres' cache so much worse than

I'm assuming you're targeting this mainly at enterprises and business use-cases such as callcenters, but are you planning to make this usable for personal use cases as well? For example, having a bot to bounce ideas off while codi

I really do not understand these memes about overengineered FactoryFactoryFactories. I have 10 YOE, did I just get lucky? I've worked at enterprise Java shops as well, but even there I'd call the software pragmatic. Are these over

I wonder if we're at a point where you could build a voice assistant like that, except almost-realtime and streamed end to end: User speaks and speech to text starts streaming text while the user is still speaking. That text stream is

Guilty until proven innocent. Very thoughtful take.

Great. Glad to see we're still world leaders at shooting ourselves in the foot. It makes sense to regulate AI use in critical infrastructure and flat out outlaw use of AI to manipulate public opinion, but that's where it should ha

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, isn't the hypothesis of the original paper still true? Let's assume self assessment score is perfectly random between 0% and 100%, so on average every group will always estimate thems

Maybe I'm too spiteful, but with leadership like that I would've just looked for a new job and let the entire ship sink.

Sometimes I have this urge to try getting into a manager role. I really want to see and experience for myself if most managers I work with are just bad at their job, or if being a "good" manager is simply impossible and you'r

Are you suggesting everybody should use event sourcing instead of using transactions? Because the general consensus on event sourcing is "don't use it unless you absolutely have to."

> You're saying that a software startup's selection of available engineers is so limited that it's not possible to approach general population demographics? Yes, because engineers don't follow general population demog

That makes no sense. You don't just hire people out of the whole general population, you hire people with skills you need. If a tech startup hires engineers those will be mostly male. Not because the startup is sexist, but because ther

Yes, pretty much. It's a pain to write, but easy to read. On a larger scale the average engineer likely spends more time reading code than writing code

You discovered the Zen of Go. There are no magic one liners. It's boring, explicit and procedural. Proponents argue that this forced simplicity enhances productivity on a larger organisational scale when you take things such as onboard

I have such a love-hate relationship with this language. I use it professionally every single day, and every single day there are moments when I think to myself "this could be solved much more elegantly in language X" or "I w

Is this the best possible demixing you can get? Or did you have to use a smaller / lower quality model to make it run in browsers?

I'm going to get blasted for this, but you *are* doing scrum wrong. Scrum was invented by engineers to defend themselves against incompetent middle managers. The moment you let management take the process over and warp it you are alrea

Marketing hint: Given that you'll be competing with Copilot I'd love to see examples where Copilot fails and Cody does better. Also there are several typos on the linked page, you might want to read it over a few more times

Don't think I could disagree any harder. Requirements change. Business needs change. You want your FE to be able to evolve independently without having to wait for the BE to implement the precise logic you need.

Go is not a functional language and its generic type system is very restrictive. Why not use a functional language to begin with?
