Cause yeah, popular is how you should always make arch decisions. And also WTH would anyone use Python for a serious system that requires performance? Python brings us back to that days of BASIC, "oh but you can call functions written in other languages that are fast" It is an order of magnitude thing too, not just a gripe from some benchmarking basement dwellers.

Yet another paywalled article and there is nothing of substance to actually discuss here. Someone has an opinion, who, god knows, subscribe to find out. I am done with this site.

This whole thing is like wondering, does a higher level programming language increase productivity? The answer, of course, is that the question is flawed and much too imprecise to mean a damn thing. What did we gain from compliers? Interpreters? Were they generically "good" or "bad". Stupid questions that are a waste of time when put with such purposeful imprecision.

Again, I still love them! I wish it wasn't an uphill battle to use it on Cloud services now.

Yes, please. Keep using "Vibe Coding" as if it means use of LLM for coding in all circumstances. Those of us who know better will be happy to crush the rest of you.

Reapeth my fucking cock up your ass

This is not a Troll. It is the most relevant comment here.

The Witch is dead.. Really?? No one posted this??

Yeah, wow that is a scary smart exploit there! Exactly what I was going to say.

They found it. The only reason we didn't catch it, in hindsight is that while we were very much aware of things like SQL injection, we didn't have a regular pattern of checking for it and one line of code, from a contractor, was it. This was back in 2005 though, no way it hell it would happen now.

A bluetooth connection can interface with the app, with no need for Cloud. Like others have said, malicious engineering.

Work on Magento for five minutes. PHP trying to be JAVA and just making a mess of it. I have always DEEPLY hated PHP. Its origins were far from professional, SSIs and hacks to make web page counters. I am more than happy to see it going away. I know all of the complaints about Javascript/Node, but frankly it is far better. Types are incredibly overrated, but I wish TS wasn't just window dressing as well. Like a mode instead of a bullshit build layer. Everything is flawed, except geek languages that have very limited use in practice. I guess GO is the new LISP in that regard. Maybe GO has a chance of being more, but I haven't seen that happen yet. Now we have to deal with whatever horror OpenAI is going to inflict on the web with its new browser and we will fragment again like the days of IE6. Frankly I am kind of sick of all of it and I wish web development could actually progress in some way besides just rolling out framework after framework trying to patch up or opinionate the "right" way to do things. The one bit of progress now is AI related, the fact that I can say fuck off to every single CSS layer, it is much easier to build pure CSS with AI and debug that directly instead of having to remember yet another mapping of CSS aka Tailwind which is still somehow got these days. That is my main hatred of node/TS, is that I have to BUILD it, still. Can we not get away from the days of putting in the compile floppy disk to test my code? But TS is still handy for API and DB object mapping, so even though it can't really enforce anything at runtime, it isn't totally useless, just way more useless than an actual type system for Javascript. So my conclusion, FUCK PHP, but fuck many other things too. I am old and grumpy :) Oh yeah and I didn't mention Python, fuck that too and its not being able to figure out its version transition for years. Glad that is finally over.

Can I trust Chrome on Linux OS of the day will validate the code I need to run on Windows and Mac? Can I use VScode and not have bugs killing my time that no one can support? Just looking at these things for 5 minutes makes me think I could be killing a lot of time over saving a few bucks on a new computer I probably could use anyway after like 7 years.

It seems to me this is one of a very few, actually on topic posts here :) Thanks.

From what I have read that is one of the key issues that has held Japan back, its sick corporate culture, which includes this kind of nonsense. The stories are interesting with people slacking during much of the day, then looking all busy and serious after 6pm.
