A package installer script should always give the option to not update shell configs to the user, preferably via an environment variable!

I manage my own dotfiles and I don't want random things to be added to my .zshrc

Development Containers have come a long way. I made an image at work with all the dependencies to do frontend and backend development. VS Code has the best support, the support in IntelliJ products is decent, but Visual Studio does not support them at all 🤦‍♂️

Upgraded my OS to Tahoe. Apple is doing what Microsoft did to Windows one release at at time. Work is not okay with Linux because they can't install the crappy endpoint security software on Linux machines 😭

Just getting started with incremental generators in C#. My first impression is that they are very powerful and surprisingly easy to implement. C# partial classes open up a lot of extension possibilities too. I like it better than Kotlin’s KSP

So what's a "monad" in programming terms?

A monad wraps data, adds context & allows for chaining through immutable operations.

JS: Promise wraps data & adds "time" as context

Rust: Option wraps data & adds "existence" context

Monads have three laws: Associative, left identity, and right identity

Apple's new Liquid Glass design language gives me a lot of Windows Vista vibes

X: I did something with "AI" in 5 minutes. I'm now confident it will change how we build and design software in the future.

"AI" at some point in the future: [generates 6000 lines of code for every prompt and fails to follow instructions]

Leadership without authority or assuming a role without a title is only possible in relatively safe environments.

Doing so at the wrong time and place can get you in trouble.

IMO, forced adoption is the most dangerous characteristic of an internal platform.

Not only does it increase friction within the organization, but it also kills the motivation to improve the platform (build something everybody wants to use vs. force everybody to use what you build)

I tried forward engineering with Hibernate and SQLite and realized it's probably not a good idea.

add/drop foreign key syntax is not supported by SQLite and for some reason, the Hibernate auto schema generator cannot generate the syntax (create/alter table) that is supported by SQLite.

Hello, world!
