Good points well made. I hope I'll be able to prioritise trying Nix at some point.

Not trampling, just holding at arms length. Recognising the reality of the economics of most projects. Unless you live in a completely deterministic world, devoid of human fallibility, or perhaps omnipotent, or simply have unlimited time or

hmm, yes, this was always going to be a contentious point, and highly subjective. I think the main issue here is it was in a large part also a very human impact, which is much harder to measure. I think it was fair to say that our build sys

Regarding Gazelle, yes, the CI would break early if it detected a none porcelain repo after running Gazelle itself. I think others may have configured their editors, but for me the occasional 30+s run time (and as mentioned in some workflow

To give a tool a fair chance I think it has to be used daily to really grok the pleasure / pain. We were aware of some of the problems, but perhaps overly confident about managing them, and underestimated the frustration and lack of ag

Also as you work with Python, you may want to look at the link between Basil Fawlty and your chosen language :)

I probably should have made the context clearer earlier in the post - later on I mention : "To set the scene, our codebase is mainly Go, including vendor directories, and a considerable amount of data compiled in, we have 2.5M lines of

Glad it can help show you some of the pitfalls, though I'm not sure how well our experience extrapolates to a primarily python codebase. I have added a link to the classic scene as referenced by philbarr

Totally agree with distancing from Reddit. I would contribute to a federated non-repudiable system. Moderation can be just as auditable. (Perhaps with some emergency actions that then require a follow up consensus to make permanent) On some

Fair point, just differing levels of hoops to jump through, or general expectations of best practice. In that sense I would say Java and C# do not allow you to 'ignore' exceptions. I suspect your "pray" == monitor closel

I would tend to agree, based on instinct, that Go is poor for data science work (as it happens I am about to find out for real in the coming weeks :| ). To build systems to feed data into some other analysis platform: definitely, but dynami

The irony in all of these comments is that they almost all fall back to, or start with, discussing language design, and on the whole ignore the tools and processes that have a consistency from Go team to Go team. The value of this power and

Thank you, and may I say what a well written comment. Poor old Tony Hoare (algol was mentioned earlier (rightly) as an exemplar of innovation) but Null in a safe memory managed context is a different beast to a true Null reference. Null app

I'm no language historian, but I did limit my timeframe to my personal experience of 36 years of development for a reason. There was necessarily incredible research in the 20 years prior to that, which made it into useable languages, o

Yes I think golang hits a sweet spot here, and I do truly think it is the 'other things' that win in whole lifecycle practice.

Wow, my bad! Thanks for pointing that out. If you scale my numbers up that would be costing you $60,000 per month. If you are doing recommendations you are probably processing significant amounts of data as well. I guess theres no way we co

I think the Kahn academy has got good licensing terms, and dont generate lots of rows of data, or dont need to process lots of data. As a fairly static web app host GAE can't be beaten. If you do more with it I think you will face the same

Yep - I'm not convinced the site as it is - is the best format. It could end up being spammed I suppose. perhaps the number of comments on each comment would be a kind of karma system.
