Soren Kierkegaard didn't say this. It remains true though.
I used to fire the intern when they mucked up the code. Now I just change the cursor model.
By implication, prompting the coding LLMs with expletives will get you better results.
TIL a study found that code containing swearwords exhibited significantly better quality scores than code without swear words.
Every. Single. Time. When we built end-to-end tests (or close to these) They were so taxing to maintain. And every time we sat down to ask “what value are we getting, versus the cost?” it turned out the value wasn’t that much. Worth reflecting how valuable your E2E ones are.
"HEY today has some 300-odd system tests. We're going to cut that number way down. The sunk cost fallacy has kept us running this brittle, cumbersome suite for too long. Time to cut our losses, reduce system tests to a much smaller part of the equation." world.hey.com/dhh/system-tes…
What is often overlooked in the Typescript-Javascript debate is that types are about communicating with your fellow developers (and future you), not about pleasing a machine.
The best way to win the career game is to play it by your own rules. Not worrying about getting fired at work led me to have a higher risk tolerance, stick to my principles, & push back on stupid ideas. This was the best way to beat the work performance theater & climb faster.
I feel like it would be useful for programmers, as a field, to acknowledge that humans are bad at programming. This is because techniques for improving at things you're bad at are different from techniques for improving at things you're good at.
I'm not a computer programmer. I am a master of lightning golems.
