diamondo25 | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: How can I consistently deliver high-quality work with minimal issues?

- ship faster, more incremental changes.

- Try to get stuff tested earlier (see point 1)

- if things can get be tested, write tests while working on the code

- split a feature up in chunks and develop parts

- take your time. Pressure of failing sprints (whatever that might actually be caused by) does not help. Smaller changes help with getting others to respect your time too. Everyone is happy when stuff works :), even if its incomplete

diamondo25 | 3 years ago | on: The six dumbest ideas in computer security (2005)

I've read about 80% of this page, and eventually stopped at the part where he says that the next generation will be more cautious. This, in my opinion, is false. Most software has simplified for user experience, and has not helped kids in the slightest bit. Its more addictive than ever, and all caution gets thrown out of the window when we let kids browse youtube unsupervised. Heck, a wrong search query or random text can give you NSFW content. And with the rise of shorts/stories/tiktoks you'll be molded by the algorithms. You don't or have barely any control over the content you see. If it notices you watch, what, 5 seconds? of a clip, it'll start recommending that.

The issues we have nowadays are different than those in 2005. People that havent seen the bad parts of the internet, will not teach their kids about it either...

A C# redis lib. For just the basic set/setex/del/exist and an auth layer and proper retry logic both the StackExchange and the (try-than-buy with command limit!) Other popular lib, I just made my single-file driver instead. I didnt need clustering and async. Much better and something I can trust, as well as much less code, so less error prone.

Of course you can use an ORM with Golang, and will have reduced throughput. However, I wonder how much you can profile for both languages and fix the bottlenecks by rewriting things. It can also depend on the machine and how the VM allocates the threads and memory allocation (for example multi chiplet, multi rambank support).

Guess Elon should go and reduce some Tesla services like he did with Twitter. Having different major versions of software running must take up a lot of maintenance...
