I'd love to see some performance metrics and if there are any guard rails against circular dependencies.

I'm a fan of using the extensions the author mentioned when I'm exploring a problem space. I scaffold out the overall design for the problem in terms of modules and functions so that the code reads correctly, type checks, and work

If JS had no effect on the experience of the page (or the loading of it) then no one would write it. Personally, I don't generally mind running a bunch of JS but I understand why people don't. I use both the modern web and Gemini

You're right. Lifting a coffee cup with poor ergonomics isn't going to cause any injuries. Typing for hundreds of hours over many years in a poor position can lead to problems such as RSI.

Good point. I have always run integration tests with Postgres etc. and have found value in it. I do think that you should have a substantially smaller set of those sorts of tests though.

Not OP but I avoid default exports unless I need to do a lazy import. For me, there's a few reasons: consistent naming, easier importing, encourages importing what you need, avoids weird situation where you do both a default and named

I'd argue that you should have thorough unit tests for each service to ensure that they always respect their public API. Additionally, in a monorepo you can share type definitions so regardless of the service, you know for sure that yo

Absolutely. I recently dropped in to a job where I was led to believe I'd be spending most of my time architecting applications but I've spent most of my time on ops stuff. Every engineer is expected to have more than a working kn

One of the benefits of TypeScript is that it literally is just JavaScript plus some. You can literally run `tsc` and it will spit out JavaScript written the same way as you wrote it but without any of the types. The only things that might l

I hear what you're saying but I'd rather not waste even those two hours ;) I agree with what @erikpukinskis said but I'll also add that I just like the way they read. It immediately tells me that there is a limited number of

For better or for worse, features of TypeScript that generate code (like enums) are generally considered a mistake. I assume part of the idea here is that people would aim to target this particular subset so they can avoid compiling while i

The comment was supposed to explain monads by common usage rather than as a mathematical notion. Prolog is not a commonly used language by us blue collar programmers. I feel I have a grasp on monads and yet that explanation meant little to

Unpopular opinion here: the more I use Vue, the more I realize that it started off doing things differently because it thought it was smarter than more established frameworks. Over time, you're seeing it copy a lot ideas from other sys

Children can learn Monopoly fairly quickly. To me, that sounds pretty simple. Buy property, get money when people land on it, get more money if you have more house/hotels. That's just about it

I think "easy to use" might be an overstatement. I spent a fair bit of time trying to get in to the flex/bison workflow and it never seemed to click. I've found it much easier to use PEG parsers, parser combinators, or a

I've been a web dev for about 10 years. My day to day now involves building out React-based applications dealing with both the backend and frontend. I put in the work and built a real side project using Tailwind and it was so annoying.

So incredibly true. I used to be staunchly in the "estimates are empty promises made by business people" camp. The last couple of years I've worked in an environment where both engineering and product understand that estimate

They're talking about the @apply directive. It takes a list of classes and creates a single class with those properties. Since Tailwind classes generally map almost 1-to-1 for CSS rules, it'd be easier in my opinion to just write
