I hope we can keep this in the headlines. r/programming was the subreddit I mostly posted stuff from my reading list (one of the top submitters) to get feedback from comments and now I can't get in. Has the community from r/programming moved somewhere else? I'm posting here if anyone is interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/softwarecrafters/
The JS Post talk about what everybody else don't already know. The non technical / non historical aspects of its success and the low barrier of entry. The Netscape story is well-known, should I have to repeat it all the time?
In regards to TDD did you actually see the step by step coding doing inside out? You write the test to justify the code you write not the code you've written, which means it's not implying test after the code.
In regards to management triangle I've written so much about that with references that it should be obvious by now what I'm talking about. Besides, the triangle is the first image in the post, what do you mean by not referencing it? It even links to the damn concept. What's the problem of explaining it?
Also, lean is to avoid waste and agile is just too subjective to even mention anywhere as a "thing" other than just a set of principles and values.
If you're a programming writer, this could be handy to you. It supports Medium RSS, but I'm happy to get PRs for other RSS providers like dev.to or your own custom blog (as long as it follows a standard). I'm also happy to get PRs for publishing on other platforms besides Twitter and Linkedin.
You merely fork on Github and then set the secret vars. It should start running in less than 1 hour. No need to pay expensive hosting. Github Actions has 3000 minutes free which should be enough with a free account.
I did this instead of having to pay A$50AUD/month for Zapier and went to the extra effort to make it reusable to other programmers. I actually had the automation all done o Zapier before this. I hope we can collectively spread the world the Open Source way instead of each of us creating our own scripts.
Any feedback will be much appreciated. I hope you like it!
Are you using TypeScript, Babel, etc. or do you have to create code to check if the browser supports fat arrows, template literals, const, etc.? What's the size of your team and how many older browsers and old phone browsers do you have to support? If you have to support many browsers, want to use modern language features and you don't want to write code to check that the browser supports modern syntaxes then you do need a build system.
Context has something to do with it, though the title's a poor one regardless IMO.
On your own blog, to readers familiar with your topics and post history, "how the fuck did we get here" might be an acceptable / excusable title, though even there, I'd argue that it's a rather poor pick. It's a bit like dropping a URL or video link with the comment "lol" on an HN or Metaverse thread, say. There's not much to go on.
Even pretty good bloggers often have ... depressingly unilluminating titles. Brad DeLong, for example, leans very heavily on "Why Oh Why Can't We Have a Better Press Corps" (you'll find a few examples perusing <https://braddelong.substack.com/archive?sort=new>). Several people on the Fediverse post frequent themed items, with a repetitive title leading the description, e.g., "Plucked from the archives <description>". My suggestion is to invert that order, have the description first, and probably hashtag the topic as, say, #FromTheArchives.
(I do something similar with "#OccasionalEtymology" and "#DredsDictionary", see:
There's a reason why article authoring and headline writing are often distinct roles at traditional serial publications. What it takes to write copy and to sell it (via the headline) really are separate skills.
Big 5 names are made up, call them whatever you want, but the categories those names are put in are not made up. They're result of Factor Analysis in all personality questions to date which comes in different levels of resolution. They only put names in the top 5 resolution to make sense out of it, but you can have 1000, 1000000 categories at which point there's one category per question and the whole exercise stops being useful, so we have to reach a certain level of grouping that becomes applicable in real-life. The widely agreed is 5 factors and 10 aspects per factor.
