From "How" to "What" Name your intent: move from "how" code works to "what" it does. Give booleans and functions meaningful names to boost readability

It's about the simplest trick I keep repeating to fellow developers — and it works every time

Stick to boring architecture for as long as possible, and spend the majority of your time, and resources, building something your customers are willing to pay for.

It comes with a lot of under-the-hood optimizations 🚀

We really hope you'll see some perf improvements if you monitor your projects

uv: An In-Depth Guide to Python's Fast and Ambitious New Package Manager A comprehensive guide on why and how to start using uv—the package manager (and much more) that's taken the Python world by storm.

I'm not a Python developer, and often battle with environments and dependencies when I have to use it. This comprehensive introduction to the uv package manager makes me less hesitant to use Python! www.saaspegasus.com/guides/uv-de...

Yeah that's a great improvement🙂

Is my understanding of Scala for-comprehension desugaring wrong since the beginning? 🤔

I know that in Scala2, without better-monadic-for, the transcription is not that good

IIRC, the better-monadic-for improvements have been implemented in Scala3, no? 🤔

My hot take for today is that IDEs are good and important.

I'm not suggesting that the folks saying "just use notepad/vim/vscode" and "you won't need a debugger if you just do X" aren't serious or smart.

But it's like saying "you don't need photoshop, just use imagemagick!"

Enjoy your imagemagick

Converted microservices back to monolith on resume would be a near instant hire from me

Program | Functional Scala Conference The incredible 2-day schedule is jam-packed with Scala awesomeness and dozens of talks from famous speakers and fresh faces.

Full program of the conference: www.functionalscala.com/agenda

BTW dear friends,

@augustnagro.bsky.social and I are giving a talk about August amazing Magnum library at Functional Scala 2024 tomorrow 🙂🎉

See you there ♥️

I don’t normally post about the Scala programming language from this account (just travel and music and stuff like that)... but since many of my followers are involved with Scala, heads up that this account now exists: @scala-lang.bsky.social

I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but thought this to be an opportune moment 2 thank Martin Odersky and the entire Scala community for a lang that gave me a decade+ long joy and fun in programming. Solved many hard problems working in Scala & truly the language scales w/ the complexity of the problem.

I just realised that because my code literally looks like this:

```scala
val program = Node.makeProgram(...)
program.execute(state)
```
So powerful, so elegant, yet so simple 😍

2/2

With pure functional programming, we have replaced meta-programming by programs-as-values

Programming with programs-as-values is extremely powerful yet way simpler than meta-programming

The design of the zionomicon.com webpage is really nice 🙂👏

Looks really interesting!

@duckdb.org is an in-memory DB, but when you need to load some JSON into it, you need to write your JSON in a file and then ask it to load your data from your file

It feels like this could be optimized, no? 🤔

Release v6.0.0 · guizmaii-opensource/sbt-datadog What's Changed Breaking change [#155] Update to zio-config v4.+ (#174) @er1c Other changes Update documentation with the new DD_PROFILING_ENABLED && DD_PROFILING_DIRECTALLOCATION_ENABLED support...

Release notes:
- v6: github.com/guizmaii-ope...
- v7: github.com/guizmaii-ope...

If you only use the `sbt-datadog` sbt plugin, and not the associated `zio-opentelemetry-datadog-tracing-provider` library, you should not experience any compat issue

v6.0.0 brings the support of 2 new envvars in the sbt plugin:
- `DD_PROFILING_ENABLED`
- `DD_PROFILING_DIRECTALLOCATION_ENABLED`

🚀 sbt-datadog v6.0.0 && v7.0.0 🚀

Two new releases of sbt-datadog, both with breaking changes:
- v6.0.0 updates zio-config from v3 to v4+
- v7.0.0 updates zio-telemetry from v2 to v3+

a screenshot of GitHub Actions with macos-14 runner image, installing and running sbt.

icymi: I wrote 'setup-sbt GitHub Action'

GitHub Actions' newer images like macOS 13, 14, and Ubuntu 24.04 are missing the `sbt` runner script. I created a GitHub Action to install it, supplementing setup-java
