Opinionated == installs a lot of shit you'll probably never use.

With Dependabot this takes me less than 10 min a week across 20 repos. Because we have lots of integration tests, we automerge patch updates automatically.

Devs also overestimate the difference their "clean code" actually makes. Architecture is much more important.

I've come to the conclusion that such a library offers little benefit in languages which embrace exceptions.

You have to basically wrap everything, making the code hard to read, and without proper ADTs and pattern matching it's easy to forget handling all cases.

There's also no way to prevent ppl from falling back to exceptions, so now you have a mess of exception and result handling.

And bc there is no blessed way, bigger projects typically include multiple different, incompatible result types.

Class composition is about reuse. Class inheritance isn't.

There are tons of tutorials on YT about proper running form.

When I caught Covid I had very high fever and was in constant pain, but nothing was as bad as losing my taste. Can totally relate.

That clearly depends on the context. If you want to win a contract, having a functional prototype to be the deciding edge over your competitors. Here, speed of implementation trumps everything.

God, what has become of healthy discussions? People getting more and more toxic these days...

Works fine for me. On the other hand I wonder why such a framework needs to be written in Bash itself.

As long as there is string concatenation and SQL libs accept queries as a string there will be SQL injections.

chatgpt is really good for creating the correct jq queries.

When programming in Groovy, using Groovy maps as config was pretty common, and allowed you to sprinkle a little bit of logic here and there is things got complicated. But it was just Groovy, no special cases, no weird escaping rules.

Exactly! The little Visual Basic I saw was always and entangled, manually tested, spaghetti code mess. Devs were productive only at the start of the project and slowed down to a crawl as things got more complex.

Alternatively you can use JReleaser, which can also automate most of your release: https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/reference/announce/twitte...

No one has ever said that you shouldn't comment your code.

"Comment the how, not the why."

lsd is a drop-in ls replacement, exa is not. And lsd is a whole lot faster, which is also a plus.

There is the old saying that scrum turns bad devs into mediocre devs and good devs into mediocre ones.

Things which improve my sleep tremendously:

- be active (Walking, Running) for at least 20 min a day

- do not drink coffee after noon

You won't regret it. Huge community, great docs, good enough performance, great testability. Integrations for everything.

It's boring tech, which is a good thing IMHO.

Great book, a modern classic IMHO

Is it just me or is Firefox dying a slow death?

I haven't seen a single dev use FF in years. Even Edge seems to be more popular these days.

I think GitHub Actions got it right. Mostly declarative workflow, but with reusable Actions to extend the DSL.

I've used Consolas for 10 years.

E.g. https://www.usebruno.com

I disagree. First of all, meat substitutes taste nothing like meat, have often a weird texture and are unhealthy. There are tons of foods which are vegan, taste great, and are healthy. See indian/african/asian food.

Just make sure that it ends in the bin and is not shipped. I often write the PoC as a Kotlin script, with dependencies declared inline with @file, no tests, Just the bare minimum. No one would ask to ship this.

> Lua seems like such a fun, simple, efficient language... but even on HN, people hate on it almost to the point of an absurd meme simply because its 1-based indexes.

> If you search the forums, this fundamental issue is mentioned thousands of times over years and years.

> Which leads me to a naive question: Lua is open sourced. Why hasn't anyone in the world just forked the language to be 0-based? Is it not as simple as it sounds? I don't know what goes into designing and compiling a programming language, so it seems like such a trivial fix for what appears to be the #1 issue for every person out there allergic to Lua.

I wonder how many of those who complain have actually used Lua? Same with all the Perl/PHP haters...

> There might be an edge case in which a raw query, tailored to a specific need or a particular use case, might be faster, but generally speaking ORMs will know much much better than the average developer how to optimise queries.

This statement is wrong. ORMs can't use DB specific features, so they have to generate lowest common denominator SQL.

With Postgres e.g. I can insert an entry and return the generated ID in a single query. ORMs can't do that.

I can also upsert entries in a single statement. ORMs can't do that.
