Coming from asp.net originally as well, my mental model of HTMX is “UpdatePanel that always works”. Asp.net AJAX lib was an interesting take at the time but my gosh was it hella complicated once you ventured past UpdatePanel. Even though it

Psyop feels a bit dramatic. Either marketing turned you on to a band you otherwise wouldn’t have found, or your tastes are driven by trends and social/status signals from others. Either way that’s just (admittedly intense) marketing is

I think concrete examples of this are tricky because these "mini frameworks" only exist inside of a companies' proprietary codebase. My understanding of the concept is its an abstraction layer built on top of a more general

At my last employer Elastic we definitely ran into these limits on the cloud SaaS team moving Elastocsearch node containers from our proprietary orchestration to k8s. I’m not sure how they eventually solved it but I believe the plan was es

It’s hard for me to imagine how the current superpowers (US,China, Russia) governments will be good stewards for AI, or really anything important. I’m not saying big tech is better but with the world heading more in the direction of autocra

I imagine the folks in the article and others like it are not building libraries and foundational infrastructure but rather cranking out SaaS startup ideas and CRUD web apps. I find that kind of coding really can go quite fast using AI, par

I don’t think it’s inherently wrong, I think in this case it feels like they are making a questionable claim to do so.

Doesn’t c++ also make a separate type for each distinct type parameter passed to a template? If that is still true maybe it adds up when you have a lot of different vector of T types? Been a while since I read up on c++ though maybe that’s

10 years ago I was at an “innovation lab” of a big HR tech company that gave out free lunches and snacks. The best explanation I heard was a coworker originally from the big boring corporate HQ who said basically this is a software petting

In Scala it worked great using AnyVal wrappers around primitive types. It’s something I miss in typescript, where type aliases are more for documentation purposes on id types but don’t add much type safety. I think they trick is the type n

I wouldn’t be surprised if they had some ethics classes. I doubt any class is going to have instill ethics in someone who has none.

As others pointed out, some form of deterrent is just as important as vengeance for the victims. Just my opinion but it feels like tech is getting a bit too full of people who think they can do all sorts of terrible things because they are
