Interesting. Until now I thought the impactwas negligible.

Yes! Exceptions vs Result is something I‘ve mulled about as well. Nice article. One addition: exceptions have a drawback you have not mentioned; they are multi-level gotos. You can create quite ugly code with them.

Thank you 😊 Unfortunately I don’t know if my talk will be recorded or how it will be available. I signed a waiver but if they have equipment in my room is unknown to me.

This talk will of course take inspiration from "Your Code as a Crime" scene but expand on it heavily. I will of course talk about CodeCharta but also another tool which is currently secret but will be open-source soon. Will I see you there?

Put together we have accurate picture where we stand. This also support us in having a dialog with non-technical stakeholders at eye level about the required quality.

At C't webdev, I want to introduce you all to the forensic techniques and tools we can use to make the quality of code and architecture tangible. The tools extract quantitative information from code, architecture, git history, and the technique qualify these results. ct-webdev.com/agenda-2025/

In projects with hundreds of thousands of lines, it is easy to lose track of code, architecture and quality. Are we still on the right track, are we blocking ourselves with internal dependencies, or are we already stuck? Software is immaterial, we cannot see how it is doing.
Promo for c't <webdev>. The callout reads "Find every crime in your code base". In the bottom right is a picture of the speaker, Richard Gross.

Such a long explanation to say they're rolling a new sex-bot.

Could it be that we get value classes and objects in JDK 26? The corresponding JEP is now marked as a „Submitted JEP“. 🤞

TIL that you can write pipes directly in JavaScript. The following is valid JavaScript:

const greeting = pipe('hello');

greeting
| upper
| ex('!!!');

await greeting.run(); // → "HELLO!!!"

Heavily considering that. Alas I’d be mostly just copy-pasting stuff around from other sources because CSS really is not my forte. But man am I interested in doing this.

Really wish there was a list of modern CSS patterns to be able to simplify all these cool things, tagged with their baseline status.

Also known as workslop. That’s the new trend I fear. GenAi creating more work than it solves.

Ignorance is bliss, especially for LLMs.

I do wonder why people think it would be a good idea to have it work autonomously.

Did you read the one from Ed Zitron where he points out that there is not enough venture capital in the USA to fund the OpenAI plans? Something like 4xx billion venture capital vs 5xx billion OpenAI plans. This gives us about 6 quarters max before the money runs out.
