Python has changed, and nowadays, you need to add uv to the installation methods of your Python package.
And you what, I really like it. Using uv you clearly know if a package is meant for development and not for production.

Which one do you rely on more to test your flutter app?
- unit tests
- or integration tests
ReChive's integration testing is passing the 25 min mark, maybe I should focus more on unit tests

Dart, if it can start enforcing developers to handle exceptions similar to Java, would be a much better choice for mission-critical code than Go

Anthropic acquihiring Bun will tell you everything you need
If a major AI company has to pay millions to bring people with actual skills to move a software project forward, you'd be a fool to buy their hype and rely solely on their product (that they don't rely on themselves)

This pervert is innocent; it just lurks in the shadows and profiles your Python code (Django ORM's query at the moment)

I have started using the error-as-return-value on all Vieolo's throw-catch based codebases, i.e., Python, JS/TS, Dart
No more throwing exceptions without the caller knowing it. If a code inside a function is throwing an error, it should be caught and be returned as a value.

Remember, SemVer is a guideline that many developers don't fully understand/honor
If you want a reliable code, always pin to a specific version, and when upgrading a dependency, read the changelog to make sure there are no breaking changes

My ChatGPT can't count. How y'all are using it for important work?
To save 5 min and not write a piece of code, I gave ChatGPT two JSON files, one had 6 references in the second file.
ChatGPT insisted that there were only 5, then accepted there were 6, but used only 5 of them

Java technical debt is much worse than C/C++
You can use the C/C++ code within other projects and build on top of them. For Java, you're pretty much stuck with a JVM-based language or a complete rewrite

If you're hiring developers, interviewing based on LeetCode is useless. Instead, ask them to read someone else's code and review it.
The ability to fix the bad LLM-generated code is now more important than being able to code a linked list from scratch.

People often forget how much of our infrastructure code is written in C/C++
It's a tempting idea to rewrite it in another language but in reality, you would need years to understand and rewrite these battle tested libraries
The only solution is a gradual file-by-file rewrite

WhatsApp just sent a message promoting their new feature, helping users detect fraudulent groups
And their animation uses a Crypto group as an example
Just wanted to give you an update about all the "possibilities" that the crypto provided after so many years

And yeah... I know... for an HTTP call, the method type is obvious. But what if you're calling a function that you're not familiar with and that is not properly documented?

With an enum, the argument would not be a string but the type of an enum, which would allow us to know the possible values
So, instead of magically knowing I should pass "GET" as the method type, I would use, let's say, the "method" enum that has a set of predefined values.
