brainzap··on Don't make fun of renowned author Dan Brown (2013)
Isn't the formula of all his books, an old man meets a beautiful young women, they solve some mistery together and as the romance builds up, probably sex at the end.
brainzap··on Why Tracebit is written in C#
The tooling argument is contradicting itself: You need a big fat IDE to work with c#. Profiling is not even part of the default tooling, Microsoft tutorials want you to upload profiles to external flamegraph tools etc.
brainzap··on Why Tracebit is written in C#
This so much. We have 7 repos and like 5 different coding styles/structures. Each developer writes C# different and uses different libraries, which creates a big maintainance overhead.

For individual developers this may be great: "I learn new things" "I found a faster way" "this abstraction allows me to do X"

But for a company with more than X developers this becomes a risk.

brainzap··on Why Tracebit is written in C#

brainzap··on Methodology is bullshit: principles for product velocity
well observed. Why do we keep going in cycle?

I think because there are lots of different type of humans.

The motivated developer. The descipline strict developer. The unfocused. The learner. The over the line stepper who wants more. etc

One process can not serve them all.
