What are some traditional automated refactoring tools that can do stuff like those tasks from the example?
For one made by a real band check out Sturgill Simpson's cover
A lot of software engineers do still care how software is produced. That's a good thing!
That's how JWT is designed to work
Code cannot and should not be self documenting at scale. You cannot document "the why" with code. In my experience, that is only ever used as an excuse not to write actual documentation or use comments thoughtfully in…
Test automation is kind of like a religion. It is comforting to believe that the solution to code is more code.
I find it to be more difficult. Especially if I can't pane the files in view comfortably (ie. beyond 2 or 3 it gets significantly harder to work across them). Some frameworks or coding styles really lean into having…
That settles it
It's hard to tell with these releases if Anthropic's astroturfing campaign has come to HN or not but I feel like it probably has
Estimation is an art, not a science. It's always going to be a judgement call by the engineers tasked with giving them to management. Taking all of the factors from this article and beyond can and should go into making…
Trade Joe's maybe I could see but how did Whole Foods make this list?
I see them as conflicting viewpoints because as a general rule companies do not focus on > Long term financial interests, mostly. It's great that you as an individual feel otherwise (I do too), but there are larger…
Account created 16 hours ago posting highly dubious AI hype? This user is almost certainly part of the intense astroturfing campaign likely financed by Anthropic that has been ongoing for days/weeks now.
Their rationale is written here, May 21 2021 final comment on the closed issue from the creator themself. Even in 2021 this was a dubious argument to make given the browser landscape, and they are clearly just…
Absolute madness and no thank you. Have others not noticed the extremely obvious astroturfing campaign specifically promoting Claude code that is mostly happening on X in recent days/weeks?
I think that's true and it's also a convenient way to "smuggle" in Google's most important doodads: their tracking apparatus which includes all of the single sign on and MFA stuff on top of the usual analytics
The AirBNB JS style guide is kind of like a relic in time from the transition to ES6 etc. Leave it in the past. Their only argument for not supporting eg. "for-of" is because of "legacy" browsers not supporting it.…
I'm not talking about unnecessary (nor incidental) complexity. That is a whole other can of worms. I am talking about the complexity required given what you need to a system to spec. If choices are made to introduce…
Nothing can remove complexity other than simplifying requirements. It can only be shuffled around and distributed to other areas of the system (or library, or vendor functionality etc)
I hear this argument as an excuse not to write comments (sometimes at all). Maybe I am just lucky but I have never had this issue as you've described in codebases, and if I did, certainly not to that extent where it…
Explain "why not what" is good general advice. My further advice for comments is: even bad comments can be useful (unless they're from LLM output maybe...) therefore when in doubt, write a comment. Write it in your own…
The soap opera effect (caused by motion smoothing and similar settings) is the one that bugs me most. It's good for sports where the ball is in motion and that's it. Makes everything else look absolutely terrible, yet…
My Nest works great other than the app trying me to get to change my account to Google, which I just close out of every-time. Basic functional UI and works as billed. The unit itself has a nice sturdy feel to it with a…
Really nice, I found it highly intuitive on first use. Only thing I might suggest is making it more obvious what the "handle" button is that initiates the pick.
They can detect golang pretty reliably by fingerprinting the requests they handle (ie. TLS handshake) unless the app developer has taken some explicit measures to counter it.
