Do you see the critiques of other cultures exclusively under the lends of skin color?

They dominate the premium market.

Tim Cook, as CEO of a public company, is incentivized to deliver shareholder value.

Entering this market with a good product does just that.

Beyond that, this is an entry point for people to use Apple products. It can be bridge to get this consumer to buy more premium hardware and software later on.

I use Elixir every day with Claude Code and I haven’t had any issue regarding syntax, ecosystem and BEAM specific knowledge yet.

If anything I perceive a bit more mistakes when I have to do things in TS (and in a way simpler domain, in a way smaller project).

A game in Love2D. Using Fennel instead of Lua. It is a humbling experience coming from web dev.

Heavily using Claude Code to build my own kanban and a Cloudflare native headless CMS meant to feed Astro websites.

To me this is another sign the written word is dead.

With so many mechanisms for creating users and posting en masse, I find it really hard to believe the contents of any comment or post I read that goes past a paragraph or two. And of course I am still skeptical even if it is less than 2 paragraphs of text.

I find the contents of that specific post hard to believe. Specially since the user hasn't participated in the conversation at all.

I like this place a lot and it saddens me we are just going to see more of this.

I do also recall having a fresh XP install and getting owned in a few minutes because I connected to the internet.

Not sure what you guys were trying exactly and what tools you had at your disposal.

It is OK to separate yourself from a group when you deeply disagree with their actions, no matter how insignificant it might seem to a different group of people.

However, I am glad this happened. New Linux Ambassadors will step up and this issue will be buried into the alternative social media communities such as Mastodon, never to be heard of again.

I disagree that Framework will lose a meaningful amount of business over this.

What a poor approach to try and protect the brand.

There is value in fast iteration and delivery. These are early stage startups, the clock is ticking. I wouldn’t do it with JS but I understand why it would be used.

Now we can argue how good or bad the nodejs (or any alternative JS implementation) is. At the end of the day the objective is most likely to rock the boat enough to be acquired and have a payday. With enough discipline you can get far before the footguns show up.

Can you map the BEAM features against the zoo of options you mentioned so readers understand what exactly are these other options and how they compare to BEAM?

Yes, I agree. Some sort of check has to happen somewhere to validate the incoming payload. If you’re looking for type safety, it makes sense to use Zod for this.

To me it is bending the original tool (JS, async driven, weak typing) to fit a purpose it was not made for (hard typing, synchronous) in detriment of what it is that makes the tool good in the first place (IO performance).

I completely understand TypeScript, Zod not so much. The context here is performance.

My understanding is that Zod performs synchronous operations to validate the schemas. Something about "using the tool correctly" resonates here. Maybe don’t validate very large and nested schemas frequently and things like that.

But I can’t help but think it is adding another layer of potential footguns that you have to be mindful about. Maybe the benefits outshine the risks in disciplined teams that understand both the tool and the runtime. However I can’t help but think about the less disciplined teams abusing Zod and then wondering why things are slow.

Not sure if I read this wrong.

Are you making the assumption he, as an EM that codes, has the coding skills of an intern?

I have not yet fallen out of love for computing. Recently I had a "microsecond" moment where I thought "this is bullshit".

I have recently came back to the topic of software engineering always "having" to keep up.

At the end of the day what keeps me going is the creative opportunity (specifically trimming out the block and carving out a statue) and the fact that this is the closest I will ever be to be a wizard.
