Personal preference is valid only to an extent. At a certain point, with enough scale/team size/complexity TypeScript becomes invaluable. I've worked on projects that would have been intractable without TypeScript. This…
Unsure if mentioned already, but I keep a repository of all my Linux configuration files. I have scripts that link them all out to the correct places. Then for almost any tweak I make, I script it into a massive…
Except the elite won't suffer.
I found Stripe usage quite complicated. It felt like they were handling very complex use cases at the expense of simpler ones (which are probably the majority). It's one of those things where once you're already "in the…
There are so many smaller open source projects I would love to donate to but don't accept donations. I would even pay subscription to them if it ensures their continued development.
Agree with you fully. People take these blanket generalizations and make them rules and then use them to ignorantly judge someone's decisions. I've worked on projects where performance needed to be addressed up front or…
On the flip side, after using CSS in large projects for years with many, many third party libraries, I've never once felt this urge... Rarely had any problems. At least none that the effort of styling everything in JS…
He forges art, nets 100m+ euros, goes to prison for 3 years. I spend 40 years at a job I'd rather not be at, lucky to retire with 1m+ euros. Leaves a sour taste.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. The difficulty people have is that the thought process (solution) is still procedural but the query is expressed declaratively. Once you learn how to navigate that gap you get good at SQL.
Not trying to play word games, but what is the difference between answering a question and processing data? Aren't they effectively the same? Using another tool for processing data often results in recreating SQL…
I used to think this too, and wondered what magical SQL perspective my brain was missing. I'd see these elegant but seemingly impenetrable queries and wonder why my brain wasn't in the "SQL dimension" yet. But over…
Bootstrap sets a solid foundation for enterprise projects, where there are often many disparate projects, many developers, many deadlines, more concern with function vs. style/brand. "because that is what they know and…
