I love Costco, but I get it. My wife and I always joke about how we can't leave without spending at least $100, and how that's only like 7 items sometimes.

You can write a helper method (or use FsToolkit.ErrorHandling[0]) to simplify the F# example to: let Foo () = getData() |> Task.map _.value And it'll be easier to work with the .NET ecosystem if you use the task computation

For me, AI code generation for F# has been pretty good! There's one annoying thing Opus/Sonnet do (honestly don't remember what other models do): use old syntax for array indexing. values.[index] // Old way of i

I don't think it's an exclusive choice between the two, though. I think senior engineers will end up doing both. Looking at GitHub Copilot's agent, it can work asynchronously from the user, so a senior engineer can send it of

The only thing that might be tricky about FizzBuzz is if the person doesn't know about the modulo operator. I can't remember the last time I used it in production code; I use it far more thinking about FizzBuzz than I do anywhere

I agree people should be able to design things property, but I'm not sure this ramp is actually a good example. It might be! But no one is talking about an obvious issue for any ramp that would exist in that photo: it is merging bikes

For another perspective, if you put 22.5lbs on each side of the bar, you wouldn't call that a "1 plate" lift even though both sides add up to 45 lbs. There are no plates involved in the lift, thus it's not a "1 plat

In my mind, the difference between errors-as-values and exceptions is most useful when describing domain-specific errors and other issues that you have to handle in support of the domain/problem space. To me, domain errors make sense a
