Numbers. I’ve read thousands of resumes over the past few months, screened dozens of applicants, and experienced a wide variety of weirdness and fakes both in resumes and on screen calls. Please note that I’m talking about raw “application

Seconding. These days I will rarely talk to anyone without a verified LinkedIn or other presence like a clearly inhabited GitHub (and I’m not looking for hyperactivity by any means)

“Modern Compiler Implementation” by Appel is definitely worth a look. I read the ML version, and the code is really clean/readable (not sure about the C and Java versions).

The fact that Buck2 is written in a statically-compilable language is compelling, compared to Bazel and others. It's also great that Windows appears to be supported out of the box [1,1a] -- and even tested in CI. I'm curious how m

In practice it is POSIX-only, which is not viable in an organization where Windows needs to be a first class development and deployment platform. Running under cygwin or WSL is a non-starter for a number of reasons (I've done that myse

Really annoyed by the borrow checker? Use immutable data structures ... This is especially helpful when you need to write pure code similar to that seen in Haskell, OCaml, or other languages. Are there any tutorials or books w

Skimming the docs, I was surprised to see that there appears to be no built-in support for foreign function calls to C libraries ("It's a bold strategy Cotton...") This makes more sense in light of a comment by the author in

Displacing git is certainly impossible in the short term, but that is not the only conceivable goal. Building a sustainable community does not require git levels of success. A few strategic adoptions can go a long way, as shown by Ocaml, Ni

This breaks any python package versions that install dependencies via ‘pip install’ from a pinned git+git URL. (For example: google-cloud-cpp 1.23, which was released about a year ago).

I just noticed that Deno merged their native FFI support: https://deno.land/manual@main/runtime/ffi_api I had been watching some issues around this, but lost track, so I'm very excited to see it is available

I would personally like to see less indexing of duplicate files! There are many things I’ve searched for which return 100s of results from independent checkin-uploads of big libraries like the Android SDK. It would be great if results were

Nix is likely a nonstarter because as far as I can tell it does not natively support Visual Studio and MSVC. I suspect Bazel was ruled out because it requires the JVM and it has limited open source uptake relative to CMake (huge open source
