I’d like some feedback from you: how much is too much? How much is good? Do we have a rule of thumb?
Arity is the amount of input arguments for a function / method / process / program. Less could be more… unless you write in Java and pass in a context object that holds hundreds of settings.
Current status: cup of tea in the garden. Reading a 2007 book I bought in 2012, about some software first released in 1995 handling a 1981 protocol that I'm going to use as the cornerstone of my teeny tiny SaaS in 2024.
May we all have such a long-term effect on the world!
I've started actively working on a tiny #SaaS whose user interface is #SFTP. Please do your best to convince me I'm making a silly mistake - I either need to be dissuaded ... or to make it happen 🤔 #Startup#SoftwareDevelopment#bootstrapping
I would implore you all to use ISO 8601 for dates (year-month-day, biggest to smallest)! I sent a message out to my team at my job about this before discovered that XKCD actually made a comic regarding this haha. My favorite feature is that it allows for “natural” (lexicographical) sorting so that you can just sort your files on your computer by name! It also plays nicely with file paths on operating systems since it does not use / to delineate year-month-day.
The ambiguity between month/day in many date systems really hurts my brain. I admit that I sometimes use the US-standard of month/day/year for those individuals whose brains are likely not ISO 8601 compliant.
Clear-eyed explanation of disastrous fragility in current technical systems, yet it’s also very funny. Plus discussion. Well worth your time, and good inspiration for systems builders/sysadmins.
