I was about to recommend the same book - lots of good nuggets of wisdom in here, without the dogma you sometimes find in this kind of literature.

That sounds like my ideal job. The longer I've been a developer, the more I've come to dislike work that doesn't address problems faced by end-users/the org.

This is a coldly economic take. Does the sole motivation of writing have to be for the consumption of others?

Two economists are walking in a forest and they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue wal

I was not expecting panpsychism to pop up on HN. Years ago I explored the topic out of curiosity; at first it seems pretty absurd, but you can find some interesting discussions and insights about it. At the very least, it can encourage you

It's odd to me that you chose color as an example of something objective, since so much about perception is subjective. Even if we think about it in more quantitative terms, with red being defined as having a dominant wavelength approx

Sometimes I wonder how many criticisms of JavaScript frameworks are driven by a nostalgia for an internet that no longer exists. Not this post per se, but many seem to forget why the industry landed on React in the first place.

I would guess that you're either not around junior engineers, or people are very good at hiding their confusion.

Minor nitpick, but I wish this post started with defining what we mean by logging vs tracing, since some people use these interchangeably. The reader instead has to infer this from the criticisms of logging.

This or bran cereal are both good options in my experience. Just make sure to watch for how much sugar is in it; some brands will sneak in sugar even in granola.

You're setting up a binary between advanced/primitive; I would hesitate to speculate that they would conform to our ideas of these concepts. The other thing to consider is, we might perceive some actions as violence, while the oth

On a higher level, software development is a process of converting unknowns to knowns. We can't estimate or act upon what we don't know; as we uncover details, we can more accurately gauge level of effort and what the best solutio

Thank you for the context - I thought that sounded off.

I know this is just an example, but is this an accurate representation of what these arguments are like? > Western societies are structured on Enlightenment-era philosophy that fundamentally does not value Black people as people, and def

I wonder if the speed/frequency of discourse has soured some of the potentially good ideas that critical theory can put forth. In college I had a deep interest in critical theory, but I recall most of my time with it spent simply think

100% agreed. On reddit, I've always felt there was an inverse relationship between the quality of content and the number of users on a subreddit. Personally, interactions feel more significant in smaller communities, too.

When I used Python for Advent of Code a few years ago, I found that Python makes unit testing fun . Coming from .NET 6 development, I'll do what I need to do when it comes to fleshing out unit tests, but the brevity of Python unit tes

I wish I remembered the exact error; it was just with podman though. Podman desktop being newer, I hadn't really tried it out much. FWIW, it could simply be chalked up to M1 weirdness. We have an ongoing list of various workarounds for

I switched from podman to Rancher Desktop at work recently, and it's been a very smooth experience - thank you for your work!

To me, docker compose is simply a more readable way of running docker commands; anything you can do with the docker cli, you can run as a docker compose file. Just like how a shell script is easier to manage than stringing lots of commands

At work I was initially using podman on an M1 MacBook, but switched to Rancher Desktop + dockerd a couple months ago after having too many issues with podman. Many in my org are also moving away from podman for similar reasons. I could neve

Do you see any irony in the fact that you're voicing your disagreement... in writing?

by ducharmdev 3y ago
Yeah, comments like what you describe should simply be removed on sight. I think they are most useful in describing domain-specific context around some logic, that may not be obvious by reading the code alone.

I guess what I was getting at, when you are logging lots of data in something like Azure app insights, Splunk, etc., you don't have the luxury of being able to just scan your logs with your eyeballs, because there's simply too muc

On a smaller time scale, is rate of growth that meaningful? I guess I'm just thinking, until we see the how this all pans out over the next decade, we don't really know if the current rate of growth will hold, or if it'll pla
