This weekend I had to do some research that I thought could benefit other people as well, so I wrote an article about it. All feedback is welcome dev.to/blarfoon/why-not-usin…

Why Not Using TypeScript (or Using It Wrong) Is Killing Your App Performance

ChatGPT feels impressive when I’m asking it questions about a topic I don’t know anything about. But once I start asking questions about complex problems that I understand, it feels like I’m talking to someone who is just randomly Googling for answers to my questions.

Unpopular opinion: this is actually not bad. If you wrap all necessary texts with this function (which does nothing yet), assuming you know there WILL be sanitisation requirements, 99% of the work is already done. It’s actually pretty smart to think a few moments ahead of you

All I want for Christmas is for @MelkeyDev to stop capitalizing the L in Golang

I love @Railway, such a nice platform, but I still can't quite understand how such a big platform doesn't issue DPAs. Are their users only dealing with customers outside EU/CA/VA... or just straight up breaking the law?

What we discovered was that inherent complexity hidden behind artificial simplicity eventually leaks

I just finished writing a super small POC of a cyclic services system in #rust we use at @gdlauncher. It’s especially useful for complex domains where services have cyclic deps on each other, but it still makes sense to split them into different services github.com/killpowa/rust-cyc…

Best thing is that unless you need a ref of the services in an external impl block, this is fully safe rust

I am currently hiring a #rust #javascript #typescript engineer to work on @gdlauncher full time. Ideally the candidate knows both. DM me if interested.

Maybe we should stop torturing it with TS questions

I’ve been trying golang 2 for a couple of days now and it’s pretty nice! Can’t wait to see it adopted in production

Having used both go and rust for my startups for a about a year, I don’t think go makes me more productive than rust. If anything rust allows me to move quicker and safer in prod thanks to the stronger type system and safeties it offers.

And no, I don’t .unwrap() all my stuff. Using anyhow makes it just as easy while allowing you to properly handle the errors

Rust obviously requires more time to learn, but I think it’s an investment. It provides much stronger safeties and guarantees. It allows you to optimise the code much more where needed, and just YOLO it where it’s not.

I think go allows you to move quickly from the beginning, which is the whole point of why Google created it. They have a very quick flow of new engineers with a Java/c background, so picking up golang should be fast and allow them to be productive faster
