  • DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

    Jump

  • I wouldn't necessarily agree it needs to be rewritten. Hiring programmers that are willing to work in cobol would certainly be harder than other languages though, because you'll have a much smaller candidate pool and people would be unlikely to see learning cobol as a good career investment

  • Java can be pretty damn efficient for long running processes because it optimizes at runtime. It also can use new hardware features (like cpu instructions) without having to compile for specific platforms so in practice it gets a boost there. Honestly, the worst thing about Java is the weird corporate ecosystem that produces factoryfactory and other overengineered esoteric weirdness. It can also do FFI with anything that can bind via c ABI so if some part of the program needed some hand optimized code like something from BLAS it could be done that way.

    All that to say it doesn't matter what language they use anyway, because rewriting from scratch with a short timeline is an insane thing to do that never works.

  • So we're teaching the children that only high level art is worthwhile and they shouldn't even try to make at themselves because they suck at it and you can just generate it. Cool.

  • OpenTofu becomes the real deal

  • The one that comes to mind is changing the security group for lambdas from an auto generated one (unspecified in terraform) to a specified one. It had some kind of chicken/egg situation so I ended up having to run two change sets - one to have both security groups set then another to remove the extra. Had to do the same thing in cdk and it just worked. There have been other similar things where everything is fine until you hit some edge case and then you're just wasting time and money doing acrobatics to work around the quirks (that don't exist in cdk).

    I'm not in the devops group and they're attached to TF for some reason so I don't get a say in what we use, but I am the "everything is busted call in anyone that can help" guy so I end up dealing with the problems lol

  • In my experience with AWS, you run into issues using terraform that CDK just doesn't have. I'd rather have a different reliable system for each cloud environment than one system that is suboptimal for each environment. Since the providers are different, you don't really have anything in common besides using HCL as the language anyway.

  • Coders or lemmy, what editors do you use? Is it worth learning a new one?

    Jump

  • I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster

    I've always been skeptical that optimizing text input speed would make a significant difference to overall performance. IMO if you are unhappy with your setup then look around but if you're not you don't need to have FOMO about it.

  • What's Better For A Project Portfolio: Build From Scratch Or Library Knowledge?

    Jump

  • I've only ever given a cursory look at personal repos when they're volunteered. I'm most likely to just look at a readme and maybe look at a small section just to see what the style looks like and if any characteristics stand out, then maybe use discussion of the project (with standard topics I ask everyone unless I happened to see something interesting) as a discussion starter.

    In summary, at least from my perspective, I would recommend just doing whatever interests you and being ready to discuss, if you volunteer a project. I also generally think the impact of presenting a portfolio of personal projects tends to be overestimated.

  • What's Better For A Project Portfolio: Build From Scratch Or Library Knowledge?

    Jump

  • I'd think it's just as likely they reinvented a wheel for fun/learning if I'm looking at a personal project... I also don't judge hobby projects for absence of unit tests.

    I have used those topics as discussion points after looking at code someone volunteered as it can be very enlightening, but to hold hobby code to a professional standard is kind of nuts tbh.

  • You're the one derailing by intentionally misinterpreting and being thick about it. Highly encourage you to take a step back, look at this exchange, and think about the point and effectiveness of it all. All I can say is reading it literally made me shake my head and sigh.

  • StackOverflow has lost 77% of new questions compared to 2022. Lowest # since May 2009.

  • See this is what I'm talking about. You're saying you've heard stories. I bet some of them are legitimate criticism, but I'm also positive many of them are from people that couldn't put on the bare minimum of effort when asking for help from strangers on the internet.

  • Find myself wondering if the quality of the remaining questions is higher. There definitely has airways been some of the gate keeping that people complain about, but a lot of it has also legitimately been people upset that they get redirected upon asking low quality or duplicate questions.

  • Terms for intentional anti-extensibility

  • I would recommend just trying to cultivate a YAGNI mindset. I add a little more to the rationale - we are not very good at accurately predicting future requirements so rework/unraveling work becomes likely.

    Following from there, trying to use technology (I could be misinterpreting but I think that's what you mean by "systematically restrain") is also going to be things you don't need.
