full-stack 🥞 web-dev 🌍 TS & Rust 🦀 I like writing code for devs (compilers, bundlers, build systems) Senior Engineer @getshogun

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@ThePrimeagen 🌶️ take - I enjoy fixing difficult bugs way more than writing code or making new features

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@R8T3D @IntuitMachine It’s called loss in the middle problem. It’s a problem for all LLMs atm

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@jxnlco @yasser_elsaid_ @OpenAI OpenAI is equivalent to a cloud provider. There are many successful companies that wrap providers like AWS and add additional/specialised features that people are happy to pay for

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@DasSurma IMO it’s the language itself - the borrow checker, pattern matching, traits, etc…

It’s a fast language with a higher level feel to it which makes it very attractive

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@en_JS Would love to hear what you don’t agree with?

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@ThePrimeagen Give me types and tests and I’ll have a pretty good idea how a codebase works without reading much/any implementation code

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@ThePrimeagen This is a dev workflow I use a lot

POC in JS/TS
Rewrite blazingly fast version in Rust

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@AdamRackis Go see a proper sports physio. Best thing for most tissue related problems is strengthening the problem area

Avoid chiropractors it's pseudoscience and yoga may help but best bet for long-term correction is strength training

@GergelyOrosz @Shogun is hiring Frontend (React), Fullstack and Backend engineers (Ruby, Rust, Go)

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@t3dotgg @tannerlinsley @RyanCarniato You on the couch like this?

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@jmamadeu @t3dotgg @Shogun Fixed

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@tmchein @t3dotgg @Shogun Fixed

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@_SeanGroff @reactjs @kentcdodds Sorry to hear it! @Shogun is hiring DM me if you're interested

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@ThePrimeagen Giving me F# TypeProvider vibes https://t.co/ZehAVb8xST

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@devongovett @evanyou It feels like we need a js-bundler-benchmark with a standardised set of testing criteria similar to https://t.co/2fDK4XaL8k

but ye with the amount of variance possible due to the configurability of bundlers it's a much harder problem

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@flybayer @Flightcontrolhq Another for CodeBuild is it downloads the repo to a path that includes the build number so webpack caching that uses absolute paths becomes obsolete

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@flybayer @Flightcontrolhq CircleCI does the same, printing feature flag values for debugging just doesn't work because inevitably there's atleast one env var with the value true and false

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@dylan_piercey C# and Visual Studio or Java and JetBrains

I miss the level of tooling provided by Visual Studio and JetBrains. The level of detail you could get when debugging was so powerful.

TS, Rust or Go dev-x isn't even in the same league as the C# or Java IDEs

[williamtetlow @williamtetlow]

@ThePrimeagen My favourite languages are dynamic statically typed ones

You get the worst of both worlds
