Submission is broken or doesn't provide any user feedback on error. I've tapped submit 3x, but nothing changes. I have no confirmation that my submission had been received or whether there's an issue.

I mean, your points are pretty subjective. You've also extrapolated your anecdotes to make a sweeping statement that implies that all FP is spaghetti. You've made no objective counterpoints. Reducing any platform or language to &q

This is a fair thought. It's why some wonder why people use Vim, emacs, or keyboard shortcuts in general... However, one of my reasons is that I work out of coffee shops a lot. Not having to bring an extra piece of hardware that takes

Are the figures on Levels accurate? https://www.levels.fyi/company/Okta/salaries/Software-Engine... Seems fairly par for the course?

Richie -- absolutely absolutely stunning and incredible! I thought I was making strides. I've taken two BradfieldCS courses and have had some personal mentoring from Myles even before Bradfield was born. If the original question asker

> Designing new syntax As in a DSL? > It felt like each library had its own idioms and syntax rules This sounds like the way software should be. No? Domain-driven design? Or are you saying that they don't follow industry nomencla

I believe these are the talks from Steve that he's referring to. It was enlightening for me: 1. Rust's Journey to Async/Await - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ3NC-R3gSI 2. The Talk You've been Await-i

Recently started my journey with Rust having worked with Elixir in production for about two years, but I keep an ear out on Rust and Elixir/Erlang development My question: are you familiar with the Lumen project? https://git

I second this - I come from a self-taught background and have been moving down the stack since and am 80% through the Rust Programming Language book. I am very excited with this and am happy to help where I can :)

Like someone else had mentioned, the list is comprised of channels geared heavily at web development featuring content for early career developers. There are a ton of channels that dig deeper in more general software and particulars: 1. Alg

Good maxims, but I find that Ben's videos lack depth -- don't get me wrong, but you're just not gonna get the expert domain knowledge in any particular area watching his videos. It's also primarily for those with less ex

I think having a choice of being on-prem and/or completely remote is fine But I'd like to mention that it seems like a few people are forgetting about how they met their friends in the first place -- for a vast majority of us, the

Your actions say otherwise. You want to turn this into a framework/lib debate? I'm checking out. Angular is popular in the same vein that PHP is popular. People still use it. In fact, CodeIgniter is still very popular. It certainl

You have not looked at Svelte. You've still the overhead of a virtual DOM and its diffing. People that turn a blind eye to Svelte will be blind-sided. It's like writing vanilla JS without all the baggage, because it's a compi

I don't think anyone is going to sell you on something else, you seem very ingrained in the React ecosystem. More dollars doesn't equate to "better product" down the road. Angular came and is still a part of Google. Woul

It's crazy how this reappeared on HN only hours after I went searching for awk on Hacker News. Fred Hebert is so well known in the Erlang and Elixir communities. I have just coined this idea the "gateway drug" approach to lea

While you believe this to be strange, it is just another metric. If you've not used Git or GitHub or any of the cloud providers for Git, it's a signal. To me it signals that someone uses open-source software or has some passing fa

Another thing is Facebook provided options for selecting what to display -- just status, just photos, and something else before this was stripped away. I definitely used to use Facebook similarly to how I use Instagram today. They could inc

I'll have to add `git reflog` for instances where you've felt that you've completely screwed up something as one can always move back to a previous state. I think this is essential. A useful one that I'll add is what I c

I'm in the camp where too many plugins (while nice for particular languages) is a crutch. I'd like to still be able to use it when my plugins aren't present on remote machines. It's part of the reason why I had, a one po

The way I've come to understand this is that a method is how an object responds to a message or messages. I've come to learn that a lot of us think about creating classes first and the conversations second. Conversations and the m

It's portable (although it's not a feature I care that much about), but programmatic layers are a huge plus for me. I use Vim and now I don't need to move a hand off my home row to use arrows and I love this. So, it's no

Thank you for sharing this. A couple of questions: 1. Curious as to which sub-field you're currently working in 2. What was the impetus for you to make the decision to quit work full time and study again full-time? 3. When you say that
