The lack of transparency is staggering... this is purely about hype and at that point they're not making any effort to push science forward anymore.
Nice exploration of Django + HTMX + web components for a CRUD use case. Interesting insights and highlights some of the limitations with HTMX.
Definitely this. Having "heroes" brings obscurity and hide the problems, this prevents management from knowing and handling the issues. This also create lots of missed opportunities for collective learning and improvements.
Excellent post about getting too invested in a single tool. We can loose flexibility in the process. Also in the case of React, I didn't realize until now that half of the web developers have never known a time when React didn't exist!
Well, people asking relevant questions slow you down obviously... since the goal about the latest set of generative models is to "move them into customers hands at a very high speed" this creates tension. Instead of slowing down they seem hell bent at throwing ethics out of the window.
Looks like it completes Comby nicely for the search only case.
Definitely this. If it's too fancy and fashionable you're likely to pay it in later with the undue complexity it introduced.
Une histoire édifiante sur le sexisme ordinaire... et tout le monde regarde ailleurs.
Interesting advises for higher management roles. The information gathering and the distorsion fields are key factors to have in mind to not loose perspective. Otherwise it's when you'll start doing more harm than good.
Indeed, it's important for architects to get their "hands dirty". Organizations where it's not the case prevent their architects to challenge their assumptions pushing them to stay in their ivory tower. It's a good way for bad decisions to pile up over time.
Interesting, this seems to empirically confirm the Peter Principle, at least in sales. Also shows that companies are trying to workaround it. Dual career ladders seem to be an interesting path for this.
Very import milestone for brain mapping. Far from more complex animals of course and an insane amount of work each time. Still the common fruit fly is already revealing interesting new facts about neurology.
An often forgotten feature of git. That said it is very convenient when we need to juggle several branches at the same time. This can save some time and space.
Very thorough overview of everything you can do with vim but also your IDE vim emulation.
Early days but could turn out useful when it gets more complete. Good way to easily have a CI pipeline targeting mobile platforms.
This is very very centralized. No good surprise here unfortunately... and still email is really tough to fully self-host.
The report is very US centric. Still it looks like the future standard for developer jobs will be more and more remote.
I find debuggers to be underused at quite a few places. A shame when you see what they can do nowadays, and they keep improving!
Neat way to think about array indices, if it was widespread it would simplify a few things in documentations I think.
Very interesting conversation between Uncle Bob and one of the recent critics of his work regarding performance. I like how he admits some faults in the way he presents things and try to improve for later rather than trying to be right. Some people should learn from that. There's clearly a tension between performance and what is described in Clean Code, it'd be pointless to deny it.
