This is a pretty big change for module authors and contributors, but should have little impact on users upfront. The major wins will be seen in more relevant version bumps to modules you actually use, which will cut down on irrelevant CI builds for modules you don't use.
Happy to share a prerelease of the upcoming guardrail 1.0.0, available via `sbt-guardrail` 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT`. The biggest change is stabilization of the internal ABI between guardrail core and various modules, as well as opt-in dependency on module providers. [1/3]

I'll bite -- Airbnb in Tokyo, we expected accommodations to be cramped due to the city, but what we didn't anticipate was the bed being a sheet draped over a piece of plywood supported by 2x4s. We checked in so late after our flight we figured we'd just suffer through a night, my wife woke up with bruises all down her side.

America can make stuff, we just need financing and permitting and a willingness to automate

"videos of people bringing old machines and tools back to working order" would be the thing I'd bring with me to the desert island. This is great.

Wholesome.
I love that she didn't know he could hear her, and she said "I love you dad". Core memory right here.

Also, if leveraging effect-ts to make impossible states unrepresentable is interesting to you, we're hiring
Replying to @jtgi @RhysSullivan
I love the above, and this is very similar to what we're implementing at @wander. The best takeaway I had from years of writing and maintaining @guardrail_dev is if you make the right thing easy, the worst parts of service interop just disappear. Typed contracts are magical.

A sneak peak into the upcoming blog on how we built the new domains page & how Effect is used on the frontend in it This is our error handling for the add to cart button, in most applications this would be an API call and then an error toast if it fails In ours, we know exactly what all of the possible errors are and for the most common ones, we are able to add in special logic to help recover the user or give them information into what happened I'm somewhat of the belief that Effect isn't about handling every error, it's about knowing how your application will behave and being able to handle the most common cases If we saw a dramatic increase in `NotAuthorizedForScope` errors for example, we'd be able to very quickly add custom logic to handle it Having an end to end type safe RPC client with generated errors is pretty incredible, and we haven't even gotten into all of the cool optimizations it allowed us to do

Most developers don’t have 20 years of experience. They have 1 year, repeated 20 times. Real growth starts when you pause, reflect, and adapt. Not just sprint to sprint.

Alright, I will tell you my idea. @slimjimmy_dev @devabram @Ngnghm Did you know that there is no fundamental difference between compilation and transpilation? Stranger, there is no fundamental difference between meta programming, code generation, and compilation. All programming languages accomplish the same goal. Allow reification of abstraction, and use that reification artifact to generate an artifact. That's it. That's the closest to an axiomization of what Programming Languages are that I can think of. That's the floor. Human => Reification => Artifact What separates systems is the abstraction we reify, the affordances provided for that reification, and the shape of the artifact produced. Remember, the map is not the territory. We can't typically see the territory of programs because they exist in a microscopic space. --- I am trying to drum up some interest here. So I am going to lay this out slowly, in pieces. @razzy_ar @dreamsapi @asadgharighi @qd_forall @HSVSphere @scheminglunatic @TravisMWhitaker
If you want to ditch: - ORMs - Protocol Buffers - Low Code - Client Server bugs - Handwritten API tests - Validation fragmentation - Business rules management - Configuration management AND ditch the problems with AI application generation THEN GET ME TO INVESTORS. I have the solution. And it's gorgeous.

This should be a primary concern of the entire software industry. But everyone's a joker.
Cars, bridges and houses are constantly battered by the elements, Software is made out of bits, that do not degrade. It stays the same. So why does software require so much more maintenance than cars, bridges and houses? piped.video/watch?v=EGLoKbBn…

Struggling for cash? Just buy a $700k home You can always rent it out for $5,000 a month to bring in some extra income And the home will double in value over the next few years Passive income is too easy
Nice try, Big Microplastic.
