Some people really overdo HTTP verbs /GET, /POST, /PUT, /DELETE and leave much work to frontend. Irks me a lot. But then again, there's GraphQL because frontend developers thought backend developers are anti social.

It is optimized for marketing speak. It's very appealing to people who 1. don't know this is slop 2. don't read for in-depth knowledge but for entertainment. Similarly coding is optimized for tutorial-sized code - ignoring ex

If anything, vulnerability research should be good target for AI because failure to find an exploit isn't costly (and easily verified) but 1 in N success is very useful.

Does this "non destructive subset of python SDK" exist today, without needing to bring, say, a whole webassembly runtime? I am hoping something like CEL (with verifiable runtime guarantees) but the syntax being a subset of Python.

I think they're becoming more common because AI -> FOMO -> tighter deadlines on projects "since you can use AI to accelerate your work", which is often not how it works, and last 10% of reliability work is forgotten.

The dislike is probably because of 2 reasons. 1. in most cases they don't want to handle `InterruptedException` or `IOException` and yet need to bubble them up. In that case the code is very verbose. 2. it makes lambdas and functions i

Thou shalt never mock the database, for thou shalt anger the database when thou moketh it. In all seriousness, I have found this to be a useful suggestion, because the purpose of a test is to make sure invariants don't break in real co

Pros: Pydantic is good. Mypy and pyright are good enough for type checking real projects. I run mypy as pre commit. It takes time but it has saved me from real bugs. The type system coupled with pydantic for validation is more expressive an

FastAPI+Unicorn is good but it is barebones compared to what django already has. I can see why someone with experience in latter would not choose a new stack. Also performance wise FastAPI + uvicorn have many pitfalls as well, most of them
