Yes it’s stainless steel. Yes it’s bulletproof-ish. Yes 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Yes it has self driving. Yes it looks like a spaceship from the future. Yes it’s made in USA. Yes if you don’t like it you don’t have taste.

@Dave_DotNet Very useful at my last gig. Wasn’t EF Core, ymmv. BUT I created an adapter that deeply integrated in the core query engine where filter was universally applied (unless specifically loading deletes). You can’t rely on adding filters manually everywhere; that’s where you get weird

@cybrtrkguy Now take the cash you were putting into paying extra and apply that to inputting into a mutual fund. You’d be way ahead of that 6% loan interest you’d be paying

The Cybertruck Guy
The Cybertruck Guy@cybrtrkguy·
Just paid off my Cybertruck, less than two years after taking original delivery. 🥳 In 2024, purchasing a $100k vehicle made me pucker. Our payment was well over a thousand bucks. For the last 2-3 years, I've been aggressively building my digital marketing & videography business, and 6 months ago I quit my job and dove in full-time. While both purchasing a $100k truck and quitting my job were both insane risks at the time, we've been unquestionably blessed with sustained business and endless work. Late nights and working weekends to create content, build websites, photograph events, write articles, film weddings, you name it. I now own my Cybertruck exclusively, free and clear. Blessed.

I thought AI would lead to worse code. I was wrong. My code is better than ever because I'm more willing to refactor when AI does it for me. I'm more likely to improve my code when I don't have to worry about how much work it requires. I just sick the clanker on it.

@yacineMTB Graphql makes sense if you’re a frontend dev and don’t want to deal with backend devs. Does it still make sense post-LLMs?! Now gRPC makes sense if you’re a backend dev and don’t want to deal with …

Graphql is genuinely the most retarded idea ever. There used to be an entire career around graphql Honestly the best part about automating programmers is that I don't have to hire people, which means that I don't have to tolerate bad engineering decisions

@grugcapital There isn't enough information to know how many buckets I have. This only says how much water is in two of my buckets. I could have dozens of other buckets used for other things.

This question is asked at Citadel for $650k/year roles: If you have one bucket filled with 3 gallons of water and another bucket filled with 2 gallons of water, how many buckets do you have? 99% of people fail

@JeffDaw09911702 @grugcapital The answer is you have no idea how many buckets you have. The question does not specify if filled buckets are to be excluded, and it definitely doesn’t specify if you have any other buckets standing by. It just tells you how many are filled and asks you how many you have.

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier. This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

@johncrickett There was a blog post a few years back making the case for postgres being the entire stack. It has so many extensions for things like REST, user management, etc. And is such a stable and distributed platform, it actually made some sense.

Should your database do it all or just store the data? I was part of an interesting debate yesterday between those wanting to avoid lock-in and those wanting fewer dependencies. Which side do you fall on? For me, I'd rather do more with fewer dependencies.

how do teams actually share .env variables securely because the options I see are - Slack DM (terrible) - email (worse) - shared Notion doc (somehow even worse) - 1Password or similar - something I'm missing

@kapilansh_twt This is a smell. Anything sensitive, like keys, should be put into a secure key store. Devops should be in charge of it and not a general concern for a dev.

The hidden cost of "enterprise" .NET architecture: Debugging hell. I've spent 13+ years in .NET codebases, and I keep seeing the same pattern: Teams add layers upon layers, to solve the problems they don't have. IUserService calls IUserRepository. IUserRepository wraps IUserDataAccess. IUserDataAccess calls IUserQueryBuilder. IUserQueryBuilder finally hits the database. I've seen a lot of classes having one-line methods whose sole purpose was to call the next layer and that's it. But to change one validation rule, you step through 5 layers. To fix a bug, you open 7 files. The justification is always the same: "What if we need to swap out Entity Framework?" "What if we switch databases?" "What if we need multiple implementations?" What if this, what if that. The reality: Those "what ifs" don't come to life in 99% of cases. I haven't worked on a project where we had to swap the ORM. But I've seen dozens of developers waste hours navigating through abstraction mazes. This happens with both new and experienced developers. New developers asking on Slack all the time: "Where to put this new piece of code?" But senior developers are too busy to answer that message. Why? Because they are debugging through the code that has more layers than a wedding cake. The end result? You spend more time navigating than building. Good abstractions hide complexity. Bad abstractions ARE the complexity. And most enterprise .NET apps? Way too much of the second kind.
