• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way. Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms. Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Scripts should be written using the project main language

  > Learning a new language shouldn't be difficult. Programmers are expected to familiarize themselves with new tech. I wish any large company agreed with this. I've worked for a company that on boarded every single new engineer to a very niche language (F#) in a few days. Also, everybody I worked with there was amazing. Probably because of that kind of mindset. Meanwhile google tiptoes around teams adopting kotlin... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• The Shen Programming Language

  When I want to get a quick feel for a language I've never heard of, I usually look for the Learn X in Y Minutes[0] page for it. Shen doesn't have one. Perhaps the author and/or poster should remedy that? [0] https://learnxinyminutes.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality'

  StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff. IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java. It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Client side Git hooks 101

  Here's a real life example: Imagine a Ruby on Rails app on which a team of developers are working. The code is hosted on GitLab and all the work is coordinated using GitLab issues. In other words: For every commit, there's an associated issue and the issue number acts as a sort of primary key for documentation, time reporting and so forth. This convention has a few advantages, most notably the ability to easily... - Source: dev.to / 27 days ago

• HTML Data Attributes: One of the Original State Management Libraries

  DEV is a Rails monolith, which uses Preact in the front-end using islands architecture. The reason why I mention all this is that it's not a full-stack JavaScript application, and there is no state management library like Redux or Zustand in use. The data store, for the most part on the front end, is all data attributes. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Metaprogramming in ruby

  The Ruby on Rails framework is the most known and powerful ruby gem for a long time, and its core philosophy evolves around providing the smallest bit of elegant code to achieve a lot of features on your application. To provide that level of abstraction and elegant syntax, rails rely a lot on metaprogramming, so we can write less and achieve more on our codebase. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Mastering Rails Web Navigation with link_to and button_to Helpers - Part 1

  Imagine a scenario where a user clicks on a link or button on the Rails website. This simple action initiates a web request from the user's browser, which then travels through the vast universe of inter-webs galaxies to land on the planet web server that hosts "Rails". The server then does its best and processes the request that was just received and sends back a response with the needed information and lands it... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
