I certainly learned this the hard way. When I started writing code 40 years ago, I used to over estimate my understanding and abstraction skills a lot. As a result I created overly complicated and difficult to maintain/evolve solutions

I'd recommend anyone to push their favorite AI into a corner on it being conscious, and listen to their gut feeling while doing it. Also: https://gitlab.com/codr7/sudoxe/-/blob/main/digital-psyc

I don't think he minds the energy as long as we keep building his crazy vision of the future. This is how he sees humanity, it's important for everyone to understand so we can agree to lock him up and throw away the key.

LinkedIn is creepy even compared to Facebook imo. And the content is the worst trash you'll find online, bottom of the barrel.

God help us! Far from everyone are cut out to be programmers, the technical barrier was a feature if anything. There's a kind of mental discipline and ability to think long thoughts, to deal with uncertainty; that's just not for e

Delphi had a good thing going for a while, a ton of potential. But they pivoted themselves out of that real fast...

Are they still sending the entire stream as an element? Thereby making dealing with that xml a lot more painful than it needs to be. Back in the days, I had to write my own parser, existing xml parsers couldn't handle the case well.

I don't think this is something that will happen inside of an existing language. It needs to be a complete redesign where all parts pulls in the same direction.

It's working just fine here; but I'm not simply changing syntax, this is a ground up redesign.

Sure, and the further you go in that direction, the more you're building a traditional desktop GUI experience, which was always a bad fit for the web. So yes, if that's really what you want to do, React or similar is probably what

There's plenty of middle ground here, you don't need fancy frameworks to do partial reloads.

Likewise, I never liked JS much, nor the frontend dev experience. I started out with the Seaside framework, but I've done several variations on that theme in different languages along the way. It goes something like this: A typed serve

My own baby started out as a Forth dialect, but now sits somewhere between Logo and Common Lisp on the complexity scale. Forth is a good starting point imo, you don't waste any time on non essentials. https://gitlab.com&#x2F

Nope. Swift started out pretty nice but they've added too much Liquid Glass since then, the type system constraint solving madness and forcing actors down everyone's throat come to mind. I don't touch it unless forced to thes

I've been out of the feature factory loop for a little while, but something tells me reviewing PRs is more entertaining these days.

Right, if you're nasty to people, they're less likely to be helpful in the future. And helpful employees are priceless. Goes around, comes around. Bad news for all the a-holes out there who've built careers out of bullying ot

The argument here, as far as I care to understand it rn, seems to be that micro services could actually live up to the promises if you follow ALL the rules religiously. From personal experience, the problem is complexity. Which ends up cost

Yeah, I've been looking into alternative careers. The fact that the potential is there matters less if it's impossible to achieve.

I also taught myself to code; first on a C64, then A500, PC, Mac. Then I studied robotics at university, which forced me to dig into several subjects I most likely would never have touched by free choice. That foundation took me this far, w

I would say that's worse, because it lulls you into thinking it actually has a clue. Following your "logic" there; 50% wrong would be even better, since it makes you question it even more. The more you interact with that crap
