mabn | 7 years ago | on: When you code, write down everything
No - because your thoughts are not translatable into code.
I tend to draw various diagrams or graphs when working on something and it would be inconvenient to digitize them. Sure, once you have some final "thing" you can add it do the documentation.

If you upgrade to 9 and then to 12 then you'll need to do this dance twice..

There are tons of pages which have this text:
"If want to agree to processing your data by Company then click Accept or close this window with the [X] button."
Which is ridiculous.

In my case it was waiting until tax information becomes available in another system (IIRC up to several months, but usually few days). Sometimes it was required for a person to actually travel somewhere to get the data via paper forms. Usually human input was needed for some steps but sometimes it was able to complete automatically.
Most waiting (hours-days) happened because the work was waiting in a queue for a user to take care of it.

Elasticsearch + Kibana/Grafana. The next version will opensource XPack[1] which has some support for alerting[2]. You can also use Grafana with ES and setup alerts there (I think)

Does it actually help? After 10 years of java I don't really remember any case where defining local variable as final would catch an error.
Though maybe these cases are easy to forget.

It's all cool until someone else has to touch this "code that actually does things".

What if I want filtering by several criteria (on a table with 1k columns) and simple aggregations, but I don't need full-text search* ? I'm still looking :(
* I only want starts-with and contains on strings.
