Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

sure, as long as it compiles to javascript

We have everything important figured out

well that’s how we know that you haven’t, because if you had actually spent enough time on it to think everything through, you wouldn’t be so confident about what you know and what you don’t know

If you are compelled to make a recursive algorithm iterative, consider using an explicit stack.

yep, did that once to solve a specific problem, worked fine and if I recall correctly I could do it without making a total mess of my code

you know what will solve those problems though? blame them on someone else. “oh yeah that bug, yeah sorry the package we’re using messed it up, there’s a PR for that”

well they don’t make everything in gaza, true: https://www.memri.org/tv/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-industry-iran-sends-kornet-fajr-missiles-to-gaza-reclaims-munitions

well perhaps they should’ve thought about that before digging up the water pipes provided by international humanitarian aid organizations to make into rockets. If Palestinians want to blame anyone for lack of water, they should start with hamas

btw, hamas made a video bragging about this

edit: according to their own propaganda, these were pipes left behind by Israel “to steal gaza water”, not pipes delivered as aid: https://www.memri.org/tv/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-industry-iran-sends-kornet-fajr-missiles-to-gaza-reclaims-munitions

If they’re willing to be reasonable

they’ve shown time and time again, through actions and words, that they are not

it’s very useful to follow subject matter experts, when you’ve identified them

boring work stuff, they entered wrong data and made a ticket to fix it several months after the fact. That data they enter is the input for a bunch of calculations, so cleaning up that mess is a lot of work and I’m the only one equipped to do it. They should be well aware of the importance of being exact with what they enter and only signing off on it when they’re 100% sure it’s correct, yet they keep messing it up. They made a stupid excuse about having to sign off on it even though they knew it wasn’t 100% done, when it’s been made perfectly clear that this is unacceptable regardless of circumstances because of legal ($$$$) ramifications

edit: I should add that those ramifications are potentially severe enough to bankrupt us. That particular administrative body does not fuck around and will tear us a new one if they smell blood

today, I used the word negligent in a work email. They done fucked up and I’m tired of their shit

catch(error) {
  // todo
}

We’ve actually taken that complex and valid system and clipped its wings to do something way less useful :')

that’s … way too pragmatic for a government project

well yes, but I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to go about it like you described, as long as you know that you’re not actually using the smaller issues to procrastinate on the big issues. Tackling the smaller issues first can help you to understand the bigger issues better, both consciously and subconsciously, so as long as it doesn’t actually matter in which order they’re done, I think it can be more effective to do the smaller ones first. That all goes out of the window of course if you’re using the small issues to avoid having to think about the bigger ones

I guess I don’t understand this obsession with speed?

for me it hasn’t been build speed but rather execution

I’ve run into problems with dayjs slowing down requests where I need to do a lot of processing. There are arguments to be made about replacing dayjs with datefns and how I should’ve been doing it differently anyway, but fact is that if the whole execution environment was twice as fast, it probably wouldn’t have been much of a problem at all

doesn’t sqlite explicitly encourage this? I recall claims about storing blobs in a sqlite db having better performance than trying to do your own file operations

you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later

I’ve done worse

I literally don’t know what TypeScript is

then perhaps you should learn about it before you offer your opinion
