hey, maybe you have one of the use cases erl/el excels at; I'm not going to go against that - I also like the language and the runtime and everything. my point is just that at some point and at a certain org size, the technical pr

yes, Net Promoter Score about the second part of your answer; my (probably very rare) opinion is that our job is not to "work in erlang" or "work in rust", is "solve problems/automate stuff". If I ask you

“Why not Elixir” is a more interesting question and I suggest you go ask it to engineering managers of polyglot organizations. They will usually bring you the super low nps from not-elixir-only devs and the resignation letters from elixir “

I agree with your sentiment - I simply don't have a specific answer or I would be a very important person as I would have "solved" one of this century hardest problem. I just believe that technology and innovation and creativ

yeah, it was way better when you worked the fields for a duke who had dibs over your underage wife for the first night of marriage. and don't forget the round robin slave labour in the castle! and don't forget to set aside some gr

the only thing this llm craze is helping is nvidia/openai/ms war chest, and fueling the illusion that every company can finally have their developers by taking any domain expert or barely knowledgeable person paired with an ai ass

let's also measure the productivity of reviewers and people in general that, at a later point, have to wade through piles of ai generated crap. last friday i had to review 2 trash PRs that were blatantly made with ai coding assistance.

Bet the guys are also the ones most promoted. This is so screwed up.

Yes and no, sometimes you have to shed weight and kill some older use cases to start going back fast again. But yes, maybe for smaller projects.

This is also its downfall as my organization uses asyncpg and compatibility with it is still absent iirc :(

open governance and trying to get users make you uncomfortable while not merging prs, bus factor 1 and starting 300 projects with the same basic model ("do things - now with pydantic!") make you happy? fastapi has early mover moat

I think this was a temporary drama as the names mentioned in that post are actively working on the project, so in any case ls is more open by design

Modern python is basically a bucket of puke in between the Annotated crap, async/await, decorators everywhere..the elegance is gone for good. Sad.

i think the problem is mostly in the relatively thin sheet of steel that isnt able to absorb and distribute to the water that much power in small amount of time. I prefer to go gradually, but to each one his own i guess

Italian households throw the thing on the stove without such meticulous (and time expensive) ceremony every morning, so this falls under the classic “American can’t cook” gag I don’t even know if the guy is American, just anecdata from my F

I dont think there is a single answer like "facilitate conflict resolution", it's more of a matter of generally fitting in the corporate world, being able to build relations in that world, and not give the interviewer confirm

Programming inside a business is more about going to company parties than programming fast. And I prefer people who don’t program fast, but that program for the future of the business. You might be better suited for a different career shape

Jetbrains’ Rider by a very long shot Vscode stuff is ok too if you dislike big and featureful ides, but it’s behind rider. dotnet cli to run commands is sufficient until you have very strange builds. Keep in mind the language has many ways

either you're very lucky or I've been very unlucky with our respective teams, as yes, it is perfectly possible to create a decent application without frameworks, but it's also incredibly unlikely, given that the average coder

since "plumbing" is an essential part of *every* application, I'd rather not focus on it all the time. I maintained both kinds of framework-heavy and "organic home grown just libraries" apps, and you know what? I to
