I got a lot of my taste in music from my father. Over time, I started discovering things on my own and branching out, but he definitely laid the groundwork. Led Zeppelin is still my favourite band. We didn't have the best relationship,

That exists, it's called code.

I think LLMs have solved that for Nix. I recently moved my homelab from an Ansible/Debian setup to NixOS. As long as I understand at a high level what Nix is and what problems it solves, I can let the LLM deal with the configuration la

I’ve been reverse-engineering an obscure childhood game called Entomorph: https://github.com/entomorph/reverse-engineering I started the project when ChatGPT 4 was first released, using it as a way to explore what LLMs

The main advantage of an ORM isn’t query building but its deep integration with the rest of the ecosystem. In Django, you can change a single field in a model, and that update automatically cascades through to database migrations, validatio

FastAPI/SQLAlchemy won’t be more scalable than a typical Django setup. The real bottleneck is the threading model, not the few microseconds the framework spends before handing off to user code. Django running under uWSGI with green thr

Sounds like a hammer-and-nail problem to me. Django works perfectly with green threads. It’s a superior model to async and avoids the whole function-coloring mess. I’ve seen Django setups outperform Go-based services running under similar c

In Brazil, you are expected to bring food or drinks when you are invited as a guest to a party. If you stay until the end, you are also expected to help clean up the place. Guests will often take over certain parts of the party without even

That's why I still use two editors: IntelliJ for when doing "serious" work and Sublime when I need to edit random files or a huge JSON. I don't need anything in between.

The only thing that kept me from choosing Elixir was the lack of a type checker. Has that changed?

I work with Node every day, and the library ecosystem is a nightmare. Just keeping a project from falling apart takes a huge amount of effort. Libraries are either abandoned when the author moves on, or they push major releases almost every

That’s called Python or Ruby. I’ve been building web apps since the ’90s, and I never understood the appeal of PHP. It was always a terrible language, and there were usually better alternatives available.

Nah man, I work with them daily. For me, the ceiling was reached a while ago. At least for my use case, these new models don’t bring any real improvements. I’m not even talking about large codebases. It struggles to generate a valid ~400 LO

I love that the creators are considering adding gradual types. Given TypeScript’s popularity, it’s clear that developers really appreciate types. Honestly, the lack of types is what eventually drove me away from Clojure.

In my country, the internet was frustratingly slow and expensive. To enjoy online gaming with my friends, we resorted to hosting LAN parties at someone's house. These gatherings were incredibly enjoyable, far surpassing the experience

That's basically how the Django admin works. It's just HTML rendered at the backend. They had to add some javascript here and there but it's very minimal.

I worked on some REALLY big Flask projects over my carrer and I came up with my rule for it: "Any sufficiently large Flask project contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Django." Just

I spent 3 years building a high scale crawler on top of Celery. I can't recommend it. We found many bugs in the more advanced features of Celery (like Canvas) we also ran into some really weird issues like tasks getting duplicated for

My job as a dev is literary to automate human work. My first job was to write C code for industrial machines that replaced humans doing manual work. Sometimes I even had to go watch them work so I could fully understand what they were doing

Damn! They managed to update the graphics while keeping the "feel" of the original game, that's quite an impresive feat.

Yes, I also think that the art didn't age very well, the 3D world being quite confusing to navigate IMO. I forked an open source reversed engineered implementation of that game some time ago, you can see it in here: https://

Experience told me to be very conservative when picking frameworks. For small projects and personal, sure, just pick whatever you want and have fun! But for serious projects, you should stick with old and stable software. I made the mistake

I am Python dev and I never heard of someone using brew to install virtualenv before. I think that you are using brew for the wrong purposes, I suggest the following instead: - Python already includes the venv module, you don't need to

It's unbeliable how many things Django gets right out-the-box. I am talking about things like i18n and i13n which are usually are afterthought for most of these frontend frameworks but Django already includes a amazing system for it.

I wouldn't advise using anything other than the tools blessed by the PSF for mission-critical stuff. Using Poetry for local development is fine but don't build a huge infrastructure around it and don't use in production. I mi

I usually buy the best tool that I can afford, my reasoing is: - This forces me to research first, if I am dropping €500 on a new piece of woodworking equiment I want to make sure that's not going to be wasted. - There is a better mark

Yeah, me too. I do have some experience with functional languages (Clojure) but I never enjoyed languages with these "Railway-Oriented" constructs.
