Someone stole Mezuzza here :(

Software Engineer. Does coding and things.

Anti-DRY people are just suffering from PTSD from bad engineers. They need some exposure therapy

@thekitze Hey, no nuance allowed. Shit posts only. Other side bad

@rfleury @ThePrimeagen > Instead, the user wants the program to continue operating gracefully, to retry an action or course correct

Sure, the full program should operate gracefully, but that specific function should fail.

> just return a stub element
This leads to failure at a distance though

@Cru_Khanate Haven't written java in forever, but modern java is a lot simpler:

void main() {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

Hot take: K8s is simpler than graphql

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@ThePrimeagen It has no purpose, but void should be a type and not a keyword. Keywords are bad and you need void in the type system as a "this function successfully returned" value.

(The type theorist would also call it unit and not void, but that's neither here nor there)

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@thdxr Why not cloud run or app runner? Those are my defaults and otherwise I use a k8s pod.

I also built out a small framework to wrap terraform in my repo which let's me launch these things with like 10 lines of code though.

Claude responding to a solution I suggested:

Welcome to my life.

I just quit my $100k job to join the first Fall YC batch.

And we're building a @cursor_ai competitor!

Sound familiar? This time, we wrote all the code ourselves 😉

Ask me anything!

@paulg @SteveStuWill Why do you not want to believe it? It doesn't mean parenting doesn't matter, just that it doesn't change a child's inherent personality.

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@AzaelOfficial I highly suspect that AI will only do so for the lowest forms of each artistic field. You'll get a bunch of mobile games that are AI generated, but good high quality things will still be human made for the next century

AI is moving fast, but don't be fooled. We're only 20% there

@GeoConfirmed @threadreaderapp unroll

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

Do you think there's a difference between "I have confidence in you" and "I believe in you"? What is it?

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@jahooma Nice job man.

But how do you decide if the feature is done if there are bugs🤔?

Of course, you wouldn't write bugs.

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@VCBrags I'm only at like 7/15 🤔

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

@VCBrags Founders create investment vehicles for VCs. Your business doesn't really matter, just whether you can "sell" the company will at the next round and get the funding.

When you watch gladiator and realized the score captures Hans Zimmer's transition from the Lion King to Pirates of the Caribbean.

Wish I was more musically trained to know how to analyze the sounds.

[Prasanth @Mezzuza]

Lukewarm Take: Code coverage is a terrible target, but a helpful metric.
