The untold history of web development: 1990: HTML invented 1994: CSS invented to fix HTML 1995: JS invented to fix HTML/CSS 2006: jQuery invented to fix JS 2010: AngularJS invented to fix jQuery 2013: React invented to fix AngularJS 2014: Vue invented to fix React & Angular 2016: Angular 2 invented to fix AngularJS & React 2019: Svelte 3 invented to fix React, Angular, Vue 2019: React hooks invented to fix React 2020: Vue 3 invented to fix React hooks 2020: Solid invented to fix React, Angular, Svelte, Vue 2020: HTMX 1.0 invented to fix React, Angular, Svelte, Vue, Solid 2021: React suspense invented to fix React, again 2023: Svelte Runes invented to fix Svelte 2024: jQuery still used on 75% of websites

That is my best suggestion off the top of my head. Feel free to add more, if there is something I am overlooking 😊

* 'five lines' should be 'five meaningful lines' ie. excluding the return check ifs. * 'if only at the start' becomes 'logical decisions only at the start' * Add a rule about not accessing mutable fields of a non-receiver argument -- to enforce encapsulation.

I think Go is "object-oriented enough" for what my book requires, since it is possible to implement Strategy Pattern in Go. From my limited knowledge, I would suggest the following slight modifications:

First of all, thank you for the question! It is one that I get quite a bit actually. Unfortunately, I haven't much experience with Go, since I am a type theorist. I think my good friend @randomsort is better equipped to answer.

If you're looking for a new job, don't simply tell your interviewer: - "I've been a software engineer for 3 years" You should measure your own experience in qualitative terms. Not number of years. Try these ideas instead:

In #software, less is more. @thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about #refactoring focused on concrete rules and getting any method down to five lines or less. Improve code readability & testability while identifying performance bottlenecks 🎙️Tune in: gotopia.tech/podcast

I had a chance to spend an hour with one of my greatest idols @KevlinHenney. I had such a great time and we discussed really interesting topics!

#Refactoring is one of the most common tasks you’ll face. But you can apply rules without relying on code smells @thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about when you should refactor code & what patterns to apply to what problem 📚 Full ep out on June 22 piped.video/zNVM1rmuOyg?list=PL…

This week’s Commoncog essay is a deep dive into the cursed question: “what do you do in business when you can’t predict the outcomes of your actions?” But let’s set this up …

Recently, I was asked to recommend 5 programming books, and after a lot of reflection I came up with these: shepherd.com/best-books/read…

Working with a legacy system is still one of the most challenging problems for companies and devs, draining time and money. @thedrlambda spoke to @mfeathers about solving real-life problems with the help of clean code. 📚 New #GOTObookclub ep out now! piped.video/P_6eDL1aqtA?list=PL…

Dev teams often struggle with basic software hygiene like #refactoring and testing. Hear author of 'Five Lines of Code' @thedrlambda go through a simple, systematic and iterative approach to refactoring to help you get your technical debt under control. piped.video/APdaacGmDew?list=PL…

Ok, can GPT-4 *actually* write code? I tested it a bunch with some real-world examples and constructed "simple but hard" problems. tylerglaiel.substack.com/p/c…

Absolute pleasure to talk with @julian_wood about code quality and software architecture

I still love this quote: "If an idea is good and it turns out to be true somebody else will have done it. If an idea is stupid you have a chance that nobody else is dumb enough to try it. Then if it happens to work you really have something!" -- @KentBeck

Get ready for an on-site #GOTOnight with @thedrlambda, author of “Five Lines of a Code” on January 17. Learn a simple, systematic and iterative approach to #refactoring, that will help you start getting your technical debt under control. Save your spot! gotopia.tech/events/139/-fiv…
