Savantism is a separate concept from autism, though popular culture has somehow associated the two.

I realize my initial analysis is kind of wrong - everyone picking blue would also ensure everyone survives. So I think the color doesn't really matter if everyone is rational. So long as they are consistent. Blue is more tasteful here

NPEs are also present in a lot of languages with "stronger" type systems though. Is there a specific language you're comparing against?

by ttz 11mo ago
out of curiosity (not meant snidely), do you have an example of a case where the weaker type system resulted in serious problems?

You can still design for evolution and follow best practices. That's actually IMO a hallmark of good software design. The issue is when the evolution is random and rife with special cases and rules that cannot be generalized... the unk

I was recently having a conversation with some coworkers about this. IMO a lot of (software) engineering wisdom and best practices fails in the face of business requirements and logic. In hard engineering you can push back a lot harder beca

every language has its problems; Go I think is pretty good despite them. not saying points raised in the article are invalid, you def have to be careful, and I hate the "nil interface is not necessarily nil" issue as much as anyon

Not arguing against you in any way, but IMO, if you're at a place where politics will dictate your _actual continued employment_, it's probably not somewhere I'd particularly enjoy working.

As someone who wholeheartedly agrees with this statement, I do wonder why this mentality is so prevalent. Is it just a consequence of natural selection? Those who want to grow and compete will inevitably dominate those who do not, and so pr

Google Datastudio, if you're fine with something in the cloud hooking up to your DB (and whitelisting the IP). Metabase or Apache Superset, as others have mentioned, can be deployed on-prem so it's a bit more isolated/secure.

Yeah pretty much this. If a paradigm (whether functional, OOP, or whatever label makes you feel better) isn't working for you when it has worked for many others, maybe it's not because the paradigm sucks... it's because you m
