I'm a Software Engineer and I think the author is probably right that many Software Engineers are misguidedly placing too much weight on their ability to read and write code. The valuable part of Software Engineering isn't PARSING

I switched from e3 (NOT eb3) to h1b and then they did the $100k eo, so it doesn't feel like a good idea to remain on h1b. Now, my us citizen spouse and I are filing a spouse based green card application. (of course, we also filed for E

yes, which is why Monad should be an interface that types like List, Option, Result etc implement, instead of flatMap being just a random discrete function that exists on random types by accident, with no common abstract link between them K

Here’s my monad tutorial for programmers A monad is anything you can flatmap with The monad of list is you flatmap a list on a list and instead of getting a list of lists, as you would if you just mapped, you get a single flattened list The

At a previous job, our build pipeline * Built the app (into a self contained .jar, it was a JVM shop) * Put the app into a Ubuntu Docker image. This step was arguably unnecessary, but the same way Maven is used to isolate JVM dependencies (

Your price could simply be an interface that both Student and Employee implements, and at the call site, you simply call foo.calculatePrice - Student will calculate it one way and Employee another, there is zero need for inheritance, or for

for one, see the reply from the handle cryptonector further up > Inheriting from a class creates dispatch problems, and there's instance variables/fields/whatever to deal with. Never mind multiple inheritance, as that gets

this! with interfaces, you get all the benefits and none of the negatives

I agree that there are better ways to model roles and FGA the point of the example wasn't to be an idiomatic solution to that problem, but to illustrate the pointlessness of inheritance in general, and User Student Employee was the fir

I happily admit it's more than possible to come up with examples that make inheritance shine. After all, that's what the authors of these books and articles do. But most of them put the cart before the horse (deliberately design a

> The alternative is that you wind up implementing the same 5-10 interfaces repeatedly for every different object you create. if both Student and Employee need to implement those interfaces, it's probably User that should have and i

I see no need for inheritance there, that can and should be done using interfaces eg in the contrived example I gave, any of all three of the User, Student and Employee can implement the interface (and if needed Student could simply delegat

Do yourself a favor and wear yourself off all this SOLID, Uncle Bob, Object Oriented, Clean Code crap. Don't ever use inheritance. Instead of things inheriting from other things, flip the relationship and make things HAVE other things.

This is a solved problem and it's astonishing the world hasn't just adopted the Dutch traffic engineering standards outright. It's FASTER for cars and safer for people.

Even if the post accurately reflects your lived experience, if it's AI generated, ultimately it is just that, generated by an AI, who is not you. People can smell that from a mile away, and they dislike it. (as they should!) Get over

The sane thing to do is to let lower layer functions return Either<Error, Foo> then, in the HTTP layer, your endpoint code just looks like return fooService .getFoo( fooId

the disconnect here is you have a status quo biased thinking the current state of things is, roads get all the money and transit and bike infra get scraps and are poorly run (so are FDOT road projects too btw) no one disputes that? what is

they can, they just malinvest in roads that only increase traffic and make things worse and cost even more instead of transit which saves money

lol the idea isn't to make money off transit, it's to save money on roads roads cost more than transit - a LOT more, and motorists aren't paying anywhere near the cost of road construction and maintenance, they're (quite
