To clarify, I’m not claiming that classes have no place in Typescript. What I’m saying is that many people coming from OOP backgrounds tend to have the mistaken belief that TypeScript is best written with that paradigm. While it can be in s

I show people coming from object oriented backgrounds this page first in order to correct the perception that TypeScript is best used with that programming paradigm. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/typ

If you’re running Kubernetes, CloudNativePG seems to be the “batteries included” HA Postgres cluster that’s becoming the standard in this area.

I'll add another really positive review here. Sonnet 4.0 had been really struggling to implement an otel monitoring solution using grafana's lgtm stack. Sonnet 4.0 had 4 or 5 different attempts - some of them longer than 10 min -

Great write up. We’ve migrated to NextJs App Router where I work. While RSCs introduce a certain level of complexity, we’ve appreciated their benefits. The telemetry on the backend is something we’ve been looking to improve, and there doesn

This is absolutely my take as well. I see the points that the author brought up as additional contributing factors. However, the leading reason for this “phenomena” is that many companies are brimming with individuals (including managers) t

Thanks for sharing what worked for you. I've been wondering if light-moderate drinking might be affecting me, and it seems to be a common thread in what I'm reading about this condition.

From a cost basis, this could possibly be true. But, with that type of attrition, you would probably see a greater percentage of high-performers go because they have good options. Then, you not only have lower producing staff, but it also b

Agreed. Walking and listening to audio books and podcasts is magic. Great for the body and mind.

Yup, I’ve been listening to them for a number of years. I appreciate the balance of discussing technical concepts and general banter on developer life.

> …the world is full of situations where you get 0% of the payoff unless you've done 100% of the work. Well stated. Deep down I’ve known this to be true, but since Pareto’s law is often over used, it’s easy to lose sight of other as

The context and frequency of these types of questions is crucial. As an engineer myself, I would love to see more of these conversations as long as they’re handled the right way.

I am growing more disturbed in recent years by how true this statement is in our current society. While not all behavior is hereditary, genetics plays a massive role. I wish it were not taboo to talk about this more openly. While I have fou

States like Colorado are already “giving” most of “their” water to other states. Louisiana could probably be convinced to do the same. Reducing the flow of water in Louisiana by 5% would not have noticeable impact on the state’s environment

Agreed. There’s quite a bit of evidence that the 40hr work week has a lot to do with our human tendency to compete. Here’s a relevant 3min podcast on the topic (also transcribed). https://www.npr.org/2015/08/13&#x2

Could not have written this any better. I’ve been in the data business for over 10 years. A number of technologies have come and gone during that time, but dimensional modeling and solid SQL skills keep delivering remarkable value.

This is interesting. We’ve arrived at a very similar set of guidelines on our team. One slight difference is that sometimes people want to reach out to a senior person not so much because they’re “stuck” in the middle of something, but bef

Once you get past some learning curve and initial configuration, Airflow is great. We use third party etl tools where we can - like fivetran, stitch - but airflow still orchestrates the bulk of our etl.

It’s fascinating how similar your experiences are to my own. I wonder how many of us there are. I’m also in the same place in my life where I’ve realized that I need to develop a passion for people and relationships. I have been out of bala
