My housemate the other day asked me something to the effect of “How can Software Engineers call themselves engineers when there’s no rules, governing bodies, or anything to stipulate what true Software Engineering is?”

A portion of the report ranks programming languages by their correlating developer salary. If you're looking to get paid well, it might be worth your time to learn Clojure and maybe not Dart.

A How-To Guide on building a WebSocket version 13 client and server from scratch, explaining related RFCs and potential quirks and problems with other implementations.

I learned Java and C at school, I learned Python by myself and it was a relief. After 8 years working and doing side projects in Python and JavaScript (mostly web dev, Django/Flask/AngularJS/Vuejs), I am not satisfied anymore by the overall experience so I’m making Common Lisp my language of choice.I am not here to compare languages themselves, but their inherent workflow and their ecosystem. This is the article I wish I had read earlier, when I was interested in Lisp but was a bit puzzled, because the Lisp way always seemed different, and I couldn’t find many voices to explain it.

Go is regularly criticized for odd decisions and idiosyncrasies, while Rust is celebrated as an almost perfectly designed alternative that solves Go's problems. But in fact, Go and Rust are far from interchangeable.

This tutorial describes how to use the InfluxDB Go client library, create a connection to the database and store and query data from it.

Picking the right performance testing tool can be a challenge. We compare and contrast Locust and Speedscale in this blog.

Low-code app development is here, and thanks to the rise of work from home over the past couple of years, it is here to stay.

How to write self-documenting code. Best practices, tips, and tricks to write code that doesn't require documentation.

LispWorks is a Common Lisp implementation that comes with its own Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and its share of unique features, such as the CAPI GUI toolkit. It is proprietary and provides a free limited version.Here, we will mainly explore its IDE, asking ourselves what it can offer to a seasoned lisper used to Emacs and Slime. The short answer is: more graphical tools, such as an easy to use graphical stepper, a tracer, a code coverage browser or again a class browser.

There's a well-known quote by author Michael Pollan: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." I like it because it doesn't attempt to be dogmatic: it encapsulates some basic guiding principles that get you 90% of the way there 90% of the time. Wikipedia describes the book the quote is from (emphasis mine):

For many years, the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain has provided an open-source toolchain targeting embedded systems. The LLVM Embedded Toolchain for Arm is a new open-source project with the goal of pr…

JSON has its place. But I think we're overusing it in places where a good notation would serve us better.

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization language. Its syntax is simple and human-readable. It does not contain quotation marks, opening and closing tags, or braces. It does not contain anything which might make it harder for humans to parse nesting rules. You can scan your YAML document and immediately know what's going on. [OS_EMBEDDED_MENU_RIGHT:] YAML features YAML has some super features which make it superior to other serialization formats:

When I decided the next post in my series on Python's syntactic sugar would be on async for, I figured it would be straightforward. I have already done `for` loops, so I have something to build off of. The language reference also specifies the pseudo-code for async for, so I

I’ve been involved with the development of the pipe operator (|>) in JavaScript for 4 years, going all the way back to 2017 when it was just a humble pipeline that did basic function application. Over the course of the discussion, the proposal evolved into two competing syntaxes, F# & Smart-Mix, exploring different ways of […]
