I wish people would stop holding onto compatibility as if it is some amazing feature. It has benefits, but also comes with many drawbacks to innovation and improvement in established ecosystems

I love their software and am happy for the humans behind it all. As a customer who doesn’t believe they won’t force a subscription on me, I wish I had never supported them

Many large companies suffer from the concept of shadow IT. The use of software and services that aren’t blessed by the company to accomplish tasks that are blessed. As someone in security at a large company, I expect this is a matter of not

Broadly speaking, yes, but for some situations like database models with bi-directional relationships that can cause unnecessary maintenance burden simply for the benefit of type checking which this allows you to work around since the cycli

https://blog.logrocket.com/why-typescript-enums-suck/ may be a good introduction. I love enums in other languages but they can come with some unexpected behaviors in typescript

That differs but is a reasonable understanding. I’m instead referring to automations that perform large scale refactoring as handled by Facebook, who would be contributing to this effort. https://github.com/facebookarchive&#

I think this is where concepts from Rust and Go could come in handy. Things like Go’s race condition detection and rust’s compiler validation approaches can be used to statically analyze code. Sure, it’s a meaningful change from how many Py

That’s not what that library was in my opinion, it was a compatibility layer not a rewriting tool which is what I referenced. Having a layer in between simply prolongs the issue and creates many types of problems based on adoption or not. O

Seeing so many comments about how hard it is to just break compatibility and upgrade is sad. Instead of just throwing our hands up and saying it’s too hard, we could adopt the model the JavaScript ecosystem has seen more of which is codemod

iPads are amazing for certain professional tasks: - Artists (still or motion) - Writing (or related tasks like Editing) - Mobile roles (sales, aspects of healthcare such as patient record accessibility, etc) But, even in these cases with th

Do you believe given Docker’s history of poor strategy (e.g., monetizing late requiring changes that negatively impact reputation such as docker desktop and hub), communication (e.g., the short notice changes a couple of months ago around f

Can you elaborate on why this is surprising for those who don’t fully understand the differences?

As someone who works for a large company, 100%, and not just that, the restrictions on allowed interview questions can be so limiting that even if we could do better, we aren’t allowed to. It’s frustrating on the hiring side just as it is f

I’m not convinced by the argument as it sounds like it’s tone implies that it’s written to people who aren’t aware of who their audience is. Sure, not all of these tools are right for all audiences, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t go
