This suggests governments need to commission infrastructure level dependencies directly rather than relying solely on the market and consumer behaviour, particularly given the poor outcomes in areas where there is little to no competition

I fully concur, we've automated away the enjoyable and creative part of the job. I used Windsurf for a project recently, and while it was impressive, I don't feel I was notably more efficient at delivery. I often had to intercede

I've been following some kid on TikTok who started last year on this journey - and it's been truly frustrating to watch. I tried to discourage them from leaning so heavily on AI, but they insisted it was a different way of learnin

Do you equate freedom of speech with "abuse, harassment, and harm"? Were these activities you wanted to perform in order to sign up?

this - this is the reason. Large functions accrue state and state begets bugs over time.

I'm very dubious of anyone resorting to "readability" as a justification. What you're doing by breaking things into functions is trying to prevent it's eventual growth into a bug infested behemoth. In my experience,

As stated elsewhere, if you're using a component based UI, this isn't a problem. You're also free to mix regular CSS with Tailwind. As for the "git gud" school of CSS, should we also abandon React, Svelte and the li

I think this is about the level of abstraction. As React component extraction is to tag soup, so named functions composed are to fp primitives. In code reviews, if I see a big swamp of pipe/fold/cond etc at the top level, I'd

I agree! Why would you use OTS tools in any DIY project? I'm going to make my own hammers, nails, drills etc - and anyone who does use store-bought tools probably doesn't know the first thing about building. Or they just want to g

I used PS and many other 3D graphics apps commercially for over 10 years, Gimp is sadly not a patch on it. UX is a thing, and Gimp doesn't have that. As a now software engineer, I can see the thought process behind the application, but

not much of a life really is it? That aside, it would make room for the non-livestock animals to live on the planet, reintroduce some biodiversity and create genetic firewalls to stop pandemics going absolutely buckwild.

I'm vegan (plant-based eater is less catchy) - but I started for health reasons tbh. Personally, I don't eat that many substitutes, except for convenience when I haven't got time to cook. While the suffering argument is entir

Our life expectancy has also grown drastically in the last 100 years - for a variety of reasons, so this is a bit of a blunt instrument

I think this in turn is a symptom of conflating rendering with state management in the first place. The line between React and vanilla code is blurring more every day - which is a bit greedy for something that's purely meant to be a re

The benefits of meditation (and any potential problems) do not result in permanent physiological changes. It's like makeup that purports to reduce the signs of aging - it only works if you keep applying it.

similar growing disenchantment with Backbone. Minor gripe re: Angular - if you're working with a server side templating language (i.e. Flask/Jinja) you have to configure it to use alternative tags, which could cause problems if working with
