Hey Joey! My Covid-era Principal internship feels like a fever dream now lol but I appreciated the support back then. Hope you're doing well too!

Bluesky allows you to hide replies to your own post ( https://bsky.social/about/blog/08-28-2024-anti-toxicity-feat... ), and these hidden replies are exposed in API data as well. So I filter out any posts in that hi

I recently rebuilt my site with Parcel + React Server Components. RSC are designed to solve many of the same problems that Astro does. And Parcel is “just” a bundler and not a framework, so it has less magic and gives you more control. htt

Well my employer chooses to use GitHub so I don’t have a choice there. And it’s vendor lock-in VSCode but that’s already my primary editor so it means there’s no need to learn another tool just for code review.

I use the GitHub Pull Request extension in VSCode to do the same thing (reviewing code locally in my editor). It works pretty well, and you can add/review comments directly in the editor.

Sure, but with that argument I think you could say most people in software engineering are self taught. If you want to get a job as a SWE you probably need to learn a lot outside of the classes for a typical CS degree. But I don’t think tha

Linus Torvalds given as an example of self-taught engineers yet he has a masters degree in CS. Higher education isn’t just about what you learn, it’s about learning how to study and learn.

It should already be possible to run CAMLBOY on WASM because of the new WASM backend of js_of_ocaml (wasm_of_ocaml).

I disagree. In Rust, traits are used all over for dynamic dispatch, the defining feature of object-oriented programming. Moreover, all three languages support structural pattern matching (borrowed from functional programming) as a core cont

Are there a lot of people who live alone in a small apartment that are willing and able to buy a $3500 headset? I feel like this entire thread has a blind spot to the fact that this device is very much a luxury item. A 55-inch TV is ~$300.

For those interested in this topic, I worked on improving dead code elimination in js_of_ocaml [1], a compiler from OCaml to JavaScript. The problem is more difficult in that case because of the indirection of OCaml's higher-order modu

Thanks! I do like that theme and I only made a few tweaks to it with some of the code styling and the header. And I'd definitely recommend it, programming in FP languages has been a bit of an addiction for me.

We actually use a collection of notes written by faculty rather than a book. But the course is much more in the style of HTDP than it is in SICP, we don't cover anything about compilers/interpreters, for instance, but the class fo

This is hilarious and accurate, at least fron my impression, though thankfully not experience, of talking with people who worked with a COBOL codebase at a large insurance company. At that company, they said 10 years ago that they'd re
