I love this so much. Amazing use of creativity and tech chops. A++ would trainspot again.


Yeah, really shocking. Sorry, couldn’t resist.


Let's leave real money behind and all move to crypto. It's just so easy. Can't trust banks. /s


I can see this for a team of interns on a summer project, but not senior devs that don’t really get stuck that often, or know to involve someone for the brief periods where they need a second set of eyes.


Yeah, me too. Terrible till.

This. If you have a CFO, contact that person. If not, then anyone in finance, or a partner. Everyone is there for pay. This is a reasonable request.


I spend most of my time in Go these days, and find that it's goroutine model is perfectly suited for both I/O and CPU-bound services. The runtime decides if a thread is needed, and will spawn one any time you're waiting on a syscall.


Wouldn't you agree that a compiled language is typically much easier to maintain than an interpreted one (refactoring, etc). Also, it's been years since I've worked in C#, but I would imagine you could stay in the language but ditch the frameworks.


It's not interpreted vs compiled, it's static/strong vs dynamic/weak. These just usually happen to fall along the interpreted vs compiled dichotomy.

But, for instance, IronPython and IronRuby are compiled, yet dynamic, and GHCi is a Haskell interpreter that runs an extremely strong/static language.


Who cares about non-Firefly fans? :)


That's a really weird thing to say. Not everyone is into the same TV shows as you and that doesn't mean you shouldn't care about them.


It's a joke - hence, the smilie.

This is a typical response from a non-Firefly fan. :)


Agree. I like Go for the same reason. With Java, there's a weird pressure to spend a week designing class hierarchies and to set up all the factories and abstract factories. In Go - uh, you can do it, but you're going against the grain.


I have been writing Java for 4.5 years and have never felt such pressure. In fact, I have never written a factory and use inheritance sparingly. The problem of Java is the culture of the enterprise bros who worship at the altar of the Holy OOP, not the language itself.


Aren't class hierarchies just 90s OOP code and not specific to Java.


Probably. But Java, growing up as a language at this time, was IMO influenced by this fad more than other (older or newer) languages.


I don't think they are specific to Java technically but they do seem to be part of Java culture.
