>Here’s the thing: I don’t read code anymore. I used to write code and read code. Now when something isn’t working, I don’t go look at the code. I don’t question the code. I either ask one of my coding agents, or - more often - I ask mys

I’ve created a small utility script at work that automates some routine tasks and nicely formats the collected data in a table, and I can say that Nushell is an amazing tool.

Nice article. The problem of multiple booleans is just one instance of a more general problem: when a function takes multiple arguments of the same type (i32, String, etc.). The newtype pattern allows you to create distinct types in such ca

I’m very happy that I learned Scala back in 2018(thanks to my colleague). I quickly realized that this is the language I want to use for work, and after some time, I joined my first Scala project. Five years later Scala is still my favorit

>Rust has had 10x better tooling right from the start. Cargo vs SBT, no joke. Cargo is a really good tool, but I wouldn't say it is 10x better than SBT.On the other hand, Scala can be used with different build tools: Maven, Gradle,

I double that. Rust is great language, and I like it a lot. But usually I pick Scala whenever I can, it’s perfectly suited for complex domain. So my rule of thumb is: Large enterprise monolithic projects - Scala. Microservises, serverless f

Looks very similar to Akka, where agent is actor and Lifecycle is Behaviors. An interesting project for a complex task - streaming stateful processing.

While it is very fun to hack using dynamically typed languages, it’s obvious that they are not suitable for large enterprise systems. Refactoring, code navigation, code reading is much much more better with statically typed languages. Moreo

Well, Bitcoin and other crypto garbage should be banned. It’s already obvious that it’s mostly used for money laundering and price gambling. It’s very environmentally unfriendly, and non efficient piece of technology.

7 month ago received an offer to join Scala project. Before that worked with Java and Go. I would say Scala is an amazing not just language, but an ecosystem. As a language, it’s very ergonomic and allows to do complex things with less boil

When you’re choosing Scala you have all the perks of JVM platform. You can reuse Java libraries if needed. Scala has pretty powerful type system. JVM in turn is a pretty good platform, with decades of effort, which can tolerate high load, m
