Reminds of the often cited quote from an unknown source: "Always code as if the person who will maintain your code is a maniac serial killer that knows where you live" Words to live by.

AI coding has revealed just how many people in our industry don’t appreciate that for any long lived code the cost of initial implementaion is absolutely dwarfed by the cost of maintenance. So much that for long lived projects we can consider: cost of code = cost of maintenance.

On second thought, how do you walk around the house? Maybe first try replacing slippers with thermal socks (or get a heated floor 😄) and see how that feels? It’s a nice start and cheaper test than vibrams. :)

The difference with plain flat shoes is that these are closer to barefoot walking which changes how you walk: more weight put on midfoot vs heel. So it could be better but if you do try, definitely introduce then very slowly, and reduce if it starts feeling painful.

They are for the prototype. The copies are assembled by robots. It just happens that copying for software is trivial. The trick with software is figuring which parts are copies and which are original, using robots to assemble the former and your very own hands for the latter.

The main source of injury is doing too much too soon, it has to be done really really slowly, increasing the distance carefully over many months. It activates usually underused muscles and tendons and they need time to adapt. Done that way, it lowers the risk of injury.

It’s like barefoot running but you can get cut, e.g. if you step on glass, sharp rocks … some people go full barefoot but then you have to wait for the skin on your soles to thicken and toughen before it stops hurting on rough surfaces.

I own 3 pairs of Vibram Five fingers. I mix them up w. regular running shoes. Love them but it’s a slow build up. Took me ~1.5 years to slowly build up to 10-15km in them. I feel less prone to injuries because of them. Marathons I still do in regular shoes. Why are you asking?

What a missed opportunity! But then I would have to talk to people more than to computers, can you imagine?? 😂

Checksums solve most of the security issues but vendoring has other benefits as well, namely, you'll still be able to deploy if library registries go down.

Well, now that you mention it, I think that would be a smart move. :)

An interesting finding in research into MBA professional CEOs is that they increase the company profits but mostly by reducing expenses rather than increasing revenue. Turns out, the latter requires deep industry knowledge.

I’ve heard good things about it but only briefly checked it out. Looks interesting. No promises but I’ve noted it down. :)

3. Hotwire expects a tight integration with the backend for features like collaboration. HTMX assumes almost nothing making it more backend agnostic but lacking some features. Do you prefer tight integration or separation of concerns?
