Isn't it our responsibility to own our dependencies? I get this is frustrating, but if your client deliverables hinge on your $200 subscription to meet, you need to figure out some redundancy. The need to reimburse for time down, but

As a dev, if you use a private method, you've just taken ownership of the problem. I suggested to you in our contract not to do it, and that it would likely not be supported, and you did it anyway. Fix your shit, common software or not

I'm editing this to be nicer. I'm really trying to be nicer. Consider the possibility you're not the only one in the codebase and that the git history might provide the why to the code's what.

All that said, you .NET folks need to let your patterns die in a fire. Modern C# doesn't require any of this crap anymore. Use functions. They're great. The world of nouns is behind us.

I'd have written this exact comment two years ago. After two years using C# and .NET in anger, I'd pick it for almost any project. It's better than Python, Ruby, Go, Elixir, Typescript, Etc. and better than Rust unless you ab

Yeah, .NET developers have been passing CancellationTokens around in the places where they have needed them for 15 years. The tokens are basically invisible until their existence emerges when someone decides they want to cancel a long-runni

"It's not exactly making me feel valued as a community member" Neither is not getting paid for work/services. If one works hard on things and can't pay their bills, that's unsustainable. Why is developer time

I came here for the bad takes, and I have not been disappointed. Dynamo slays when you know your access patterns and need consistent performance and no operations requirements. Turns out, that's the case most of the time. Think about i

People act like managing lots of git repos is hard, then run into monorepo problems requiring them to fix esoteric bugs in C that have been in git for a decade, all while still arguing monorepos are easy and great and managing multiple repo

This article is the what, but it is missing the why. I'm supremely biased against scrum, so basically ignore what I am saying if you're a fan of it. Fundamentally, Kanban is pull-based, and Scrum is push-based. That's the di

The clustering is what makes it feel so different, and what makes it such a compelling runtime for certain types of problems. It's not an accident that large distributed chat programs or MQ systems are often written in erlang. From ins

Because what we need is more of the what was done, with no regard to the why. Why provide any context as to why the change was made when you can fill it with an AI description of what one could accurately tell by looking at the code? I kin

Same! I also find I learn all kinds of new tricks from jr and sr devs alike. Pairing is programming with the cheat codes on.

I have worked in FAANG and in 10 person startups and have paired in them all. VSCode is fine if you're all using VSCode and don't need to screen share anything outside of VSCode. If everyone is on mac though, there is nothing bett

You can use Common Lisp with VSCode pretty easily now with the Alive plugin. It uses SWANK under the hood, but you don't NEED emacs anymore for Common Lisp. You can also use Calva with Clojure and vscode. The emacs requirement is sl

This has been my experience as well. Fans kick on on long compiles, and that's about it.
