Reflections on the best time to discover bugs in software.

The excitement comes when security issues are discovered in no longer maintained code

Php 5 would not be boring and safe. You'd have some interesting challenges writing in an unsupported language version

If I was to rewrite my blogpost to fit your second sentence I would title it: "Please consider onboarding new staff as a need for your software". This is just another consideration when architecting. I absolutely will use cutting

I still consider "no framework" as a novel choice (most of the time): https://blog.meadsteve.dev/team-work/2022/10/13/how-boring-s...

Agreed. Though not strictly a counterpoint. I do enjoy novelty (and benefit from it). I just want the right amount of it

Yeah I think this is why I liked "novelty budget" as a term. To me it implies a limit, but it also implies something which you should spend. Doing something a little bit different can be immensely valuable as you've highlight

This is a very good point. There are definitely "risky novel" choices that could make your company a success. But I've also seen many teams drowning in a soup of random tech choices. I'd love to be able to write some mor

Well I already had a docker registry. I generally just blog the information my past self would have needed a few weeks ago.

Somehow I'd completely missed this feature existed and it's a really nice way of speeding a build up

I don't think that's how it works. Unless you install a library like typeguard python doesn't do runtime type validation

Very much agree. It's one thing I really appreciated about how php added type annotations. You didn't need them but once you added them they became a gaurantee.

by meadsteve 4y ago
Yeah these are great approaches too. I'd actually considered a rewrite of the core in rust before I went with mypyc. But it was nice not to have to do a rewrite.

by meadsteve 4y ago
Yeah this is exactly it for me. I already had type annotations and ran mypy to help with correctness. And I tried this out because it felt like a nice thing to get for free.

I recently experimented with using mypyc to make some of my python a little faster. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked for very little code change so I thought I'd share my experiences. The blog post wanders around a li

I ended up building a library for elixir a few years back for this kind of thing: https://github.com/meadsteve/unit_fun .
