You do actually understand that languages that aren’t JavaScript don’t have built in async runtimes and they need to be provided by a library, right?
How do you explain C#?
good: Add foo interface.
Another commit style is summarizing what a commit does. In this case it would be someting like:
Adds foo interface.
I think this style is more in line with auditing code.
That's weird. I noticed the post being marked as a dupe from the same community but I only saw one entry.
I’m not a fan of CDK as it seems to just introduce more cognitive load for developers and ops (as soon as something goes wrong / gets difficult), often long after the original authors have moved onto new shinier projects.
I don't think so. If anything, CDK contributes to not only simplify deployments of complex web applications but it also makes said deployments testable and verifiable. Also, features such as constructs and basic modularization contribute to simplify and clarify any deployment. I don't know of any IaC tool that handles this better than CDK, frankly.
The article makes some interesting points, but the author shows a complete detachment from reality by advocating against CloudFormation and CDK with simplistic and twisted logic (if any).
An interesting read in spite of this.
IMO, fork is the best git client for macOS/Windows
At first glance it looks like a SourceTree clone. What does fork provide that SourceTree doesn't?
Does anyone have any good sources or suggestions on how I could look to try and begin to improve documentation within my team?
Documentation in software projecte, more often than not, is a huge waste of time and resources.
If you expect your docs to go too much into detail, they will quickly become obsolete and dissociated from the actual project. You will need to waste a lot of work keeping them in sync with the project, with little to no benefit at all.
If you expect your docs to stick with high-level descriptions and overviews, they quickly lose relevance and become useless after you onboard to a project.
If you expect your docs to document usecases, you're doing it wrong. That's the job of automated test suites.
The hard truth is that the only people who think they benefit from documentation are junior devs just starting out their career. Their need for docs is a proxy for the challenges they face reading the source code and understanding how the technology is being used and how things work and are expected to work. Once they go through onboarding, documentation quickly vanishes from their concerns.
Nowadays software is self-documenting with combination of three tools: the software projects themselves, version control systems, and ticketing systems. A PR shows you what code changes were involved in implementing a feature/fixing a bug, the commit logs touching some component tells you how that component can and does change, and ticketing shows you the motivation and the context for some changes. Automated test suites track the conditions the software must meet and which the development team feels must be ensured in order for the software to work. The higher you are in the testing pyramid, the closer you are to document usecases.
If you care about improving your team's ability to document their work, you focus on ticketing, commit etiquette, automated tests, and writing clean code.
The only (arguably*) baseless claim in that quote is this part:
You do understand you're making that claim on the post discussing the proposal of Safe C++ ?
And to underline the absurdity of your claim, would you argue that it's impossible to write a"hello, world" program in C++ that's not memory-safe? From that point onward, what would it take to make it violate any memory constraints? Are those things avoidable? Think about it for a second before saying nonsense about impossibilities.
Custom methods won't have the benefit of being dealt with as if they shared specific semantics, such as being treated as safe methods or idempotent, but ultimately that's just an expected trait that anyone can work with.
In the end, specifying a new standard HTTP method like QUERY extends some very specific assurances regarding semantics, such as whether frameworks should enforce CRSF tokens based on whether a QUERY has the semantics of a safe method or not.
If you could reliably write memory safe code in C++, why do devs put memory safety issues intontheir code bases then?
That's a question you can ask to the guys promoting the adoption of languages marketed based on memory safety arguments. I mean, even Rust has a fair share of CVEs whose root cause is unsafe memory management.
OP makes a valid point, and a strong one to boot.
Other than name calling, do you have anything to add?
