When I start using a chainsaw or a car I hope it has been tested (!) Without tests before delivery the one who tests is the end user. Disaster for a unreliable chainsaw, very unpleasant for a software. But you're right, the goal is not

I agree, easy and much more pleasant. Walk down the street, go into the bookshop (which is by essence a place in 3D, much more pleasant than a screen), search for a book, find it, turn a few pages, chat with the seller or with someone else

What I dislike about the term "clean" code is that it dismiss objective criteria. "I did it like that because it's cleaner" is a non sense. A program must be maintenable, efficient, observable, testable, scalable, p

I just discovered bunny.net thanks to this post. I'd be happy to move my static websites on bunny.net, but is it possible (like on cloudflare) to map requests to /foo to the foo.html file ? According to what I read on the document

I think that words like "clean code" or "beautiful code" does help juniors to learn best practices of software architecture. - Junior asks to senior: what did you we use an ORM ? - senior answers: because it's

In this case I don't think the status should depend on the number of results. Here are you results, [] is a valid response body when there are no result. Returning 404 if there are no result (GET /books?title=a for instance) is mi
