"Why does this provider have to be so broken?"
Ever heard that in a standup? 😅

We stopped fighting the problem and built a buffer layer instead.

Super insightful
I think I have a lot to improve in my local env to get to this level of automation

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

@hummusonrails @arbitrumdevs @NodeTLV Duck Hunt: In Node.js, Use a stream when data is large, continuous, or can be processed incrementally.
Use a fetch (or full read) when data is small, finite, and needed all at once.

Yesterday was my last day @ @TheOverwolf , my home for the last 4 years, and I can't even sum up the amount of incredible experiences I've had @ the company
To My peers and co-workers: thank you for a marvelous time and incredible friendships
Onwards to my next Challenge 🥳

Hope that things will change for the best @ Blizzard but at the moment, things look very gloomy for the Gaming giant & the future of their games

[Crystal 🍂 @CryssyTV]

@DemShenanigans It's not even profit over people at this point, it's literally actively harming the studios culture and their profit margins now because they won't be able to ship anything.

@liran_tal @ArcInternet I hoped I could use it on windows 🥲

@TheOverwolf #Outplayed Let's keep up the good work💪

Nonetheless, some Medium writers and bloggers write amazing articles!
I just really hate when people try to pose as experts when they have zero clue about the underlying technology or correct programming principals

[Shir Brass @ShirBrass]

Medium "experts" piss me off.
Some of the principals mentioned in this article are good but the implementation offered sounds like the author simply doesn't understand pros and cons of the tools he's working with.
Knowledge = Power

A nice article regarding pure function memoization

How many of you know what a bayesian rating is?
Apparently, not enough as many companies still sort their results based on classic average sorting algorithms.
It solves cases where 2 products have the same average rating but different total rating.

It might be less popular to talk about "the dark side of programming", and this piece does it well
However, as the writer says in the end:
You are not trapped as long as you take precautions and make sure to have some healthy balance in your coding life :)

@gabrielmorales @slicknet This is just not true.

I can't code in front of people.

I can code alone.

If you think I need an audience to prove I can do the job I've been doing for 15 years... I don't want to work with you.

[Shir Brass @ShirBrass]

One of the worst coding experiences I had lately was fighting with sourcemaps and realizing that all that I was missing was a single flag in WebpackTerserPlugin 🤦🏻

[The Oatmeal @Oatmeal]

This is why I pivot

[Shir Brass @ShirBrass]

it seems like @NASA is making some nice progress with experimenting with Qunatum Data transfer!
Sounds like 1Gbps is gonna be a thing of the past very soon and qbits will take over :)
