All the usual suspects, error handling, sum types, interfaces. Just a note, I'm yet to see a problem highlighted in the section about interfaces, in particular that changing a concrete type will make it not fit the interface anymore wh

Every library is a liability especially in terms of api. There are many example where the first take on a problem within a std lib was a bad choice and required a major overhaul. Once something is in standard library it’s literally impossib

I think this post needs better examples to show case the issue, because right now the issue is not clear. Ideally you would need an example that uses the context.Cause function, see below The contexts and errors communicate information in d

> For many business apps, they will never reach 2 billion unique values per table, so this will be adequate for their entire life. I’ve also recommended always using bigint/int8 in other contexts. I'm sure every dba has a war s

The other reason is the volume of the code being produced combined with the constant product changes. An innocent change like mixing two close but still different concepts can easily poison the whole codebase and take years to undo and may

I’ve made my own attempt in building a social network [0] and it’s evening running for me and my friends. Here are few things I’ve encountered during the development: - Based on my experience private only approach does not work. It’s all ab

There are two sides to the argument which I think should be treated separately: a) Is it a good idea overall? and b) is htmx implementation good enough? a) I think so, yes. I've seen much more spa that have a completely broken page nav

This and similar post are a bulletproof way to start a flame war. Last time it was generics that were missing, now everyone is raging about sum times and of course explicit error is a topic of constant concern and why panics and not excepti

One of the things that surprised me in the article was their usage of J2K. They’ve been using it as part of IntelliJ, alright, but why did they have to run it headless? They’ve even mentioned that it was open sourced. And later they’ve said

Local state is indeed a problem that's exacerbated by swapping logic. Simple example: you have a form + a collapsible block inside or maybe a dynamic set of inputs (imagine you're adding items to a catalog and you want to allow to

Just checked it, thanks for pointing to it. I think it's more of a decentralized encrypted messaging platform, and my idea was to have a way constrain the visibility of the conversations to naturally connected groups of people while gi

Nice! Personally I think that the more niche social networks we have the better it is. The big problem with the mainstream networks is that they've evolved from a media to communicate and keep in touch with real people into a platform

I’ve been scratching my own itch lately trying to build a communication medium that I like. IMO the problem with current social networks is their scale and public only approach. Any network that goes this way ends up with lots of bad actors

Small nitpick - the author mentions upsert in the beginning of the article only to "forget" about it and use it in the end (insert .. on conflict ignore) and that's the obvious solution there. The final query is very neat tho

I think the whole article can be generalized as following: one cannot make assumptions about relative values. You can replace UTC with US dollars and Amsterdam time with euros and talk about conference prices. If you convert 100 euro to US

I think the module imports apis are a python2/3 moment for node.js ecosystem. There is no clearly superior way and as a consequence not too many people care, however it hurts for real. The proposal to disable node.js style imports will

I think linux became much better in recent years not at least due to things moving into web. Ofc there is a ton of specialized windows only software still, but it became much less relevant for ordinary people. Just remember all the people s

I think tailwind went a bit too far, but in general it’s really hard to have a controllable amount of css on huge projects. The reason is that selectors are often too broad and it’s not possible to say in general whether a particular select

Can't recommend anki flash cards enough. One thing that I found important is that you need to build the deck yourself and you'll miss out a lot by using prebaked decks of any kind. Reasons: - Context is the king. Most of the words

The answer is usually self selection and calibration at scale. Self selection is about people looking like minded colleagues. If everybody is crazy about solving riddles and participates in programming competitions that's what they wou

Great post! I've been thinking about that a lot recently and my take on it [0] is that the metric could be the iteration time. Teams that move fast can do fast iterations during development. If that's possible, a lot of tasks, als
