Programming communities already exist
Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones? [programming](https://lemmy.world/c/programming@beehaw.org) [programmerhumor](https://lemmy.world/c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml) [rust](https://lemmy.world/c/rust@lemmy.ml) I'm sorry if this was already answered, I didn't manage to find a relevant post.

While not strictly related to programming, this is very surprising and harmful behavior that demonstrates how important thinking about edge cases is.

A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
An absolute classic. One of my favourite parts: >1987 - Larry Wall falls asleep and hits Larry Wall's forehead on the keyboard. Upon waking Larry Wall decides that the string of characters on Larry Wall's monitor isn't random but an example program in a programming language that God wants His prophet, Larry Wall, to design. Perl is born.

I hadn't seen any posts here about Nim yet, and wanted to find one that was a good introduction to it. "Zen of Nim" from 2021 appears to describe the language fairly well, and is based on a presentation from the language's creator.

The example is Ruby specific but I think the general thought applies to most projects and environments as well

Domain Knowledge or a lack thereof
Summary provided by ChatGPT: *Effective software development hinges on acquiring domain knowledge, as programmers and their managers must understand the practical realities of the industry to avoid building ineffective or unusable software; without such comprehension, software may not serve its intended purpose, highlighting the non-negotiable need for domain expertise in programming.*

Developer experience examines how people, processes, and tools affect developers’ ability to work efficiently.

News from WWDC23: WebKit Features in Safari 17 beta
I know Safari/Webkit gets a bad rap usually but I thought this list was pretty neat! I actually use Safari as my main browser when developing :)

Very enriching point of view... actually everything is model and not very helpful oftentimes :)

Devs don’t want to do ops
TLDR provided by ChatGPT: As software development grows more complex, the devops approach, which merges software development and IT operations roles, is under scrutiny. Although devops has sped up updates and tightened feedback loops, it's often overburdening individuals by blurring developer and operator roles. Developers have voiced reluctance to handle operations, citing the specialized skills needed. The potential solutions include realigning responsibilities to empower developers with timely information, using container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes to separate developer and operator concerns, and expanding the roles of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and platform engineering. The future of software development may require a blend of devops, SRE, and platform engineering to effectively address the growing complexity.

Building out a central management console for various services in org. What’s the right architectural approach?
In a software org at a large tech company that has several services across small teams with various functionality and UIs. Have gotten direction from up above and been assigned the task of being responsible for concentrating all of the different services under a single web service and UI. Think AWS management console for the various AWS tools. These services are all webservices with different communication protocols (REST, gRPC, etc) and different tech stacks internally, since they were all bootstrapped without a technical playbook in mind. What are some architectural or organizational patterns that I should look into in order to make this happen?

Can you trust ChatGPT’s package recommendations?
From https://twitter.com/llm_sec/status/1667573374426701824 1. People ask LLMs to write code 2. LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist 3. Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads 4. People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves

It's not mine, but this cheat sheet has been great to reference when learning new languages or coming back to old ones. FLASHBANG - Warning the sites in light mode, so do keep note. In regard to what's available, I've included a screenshot of their front page with an overview of the languages and software available. ![](https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/4ae234fe-5e7f-4311-9e7b-58d07d6702c7.png)

Looks like you can follow entire lemmy communities right in mastodon. I followed [@programming](https://programming.dev/c/programming) and all posts to that community are showing up in my feed.

    programming.dev
    A collection of programming communities

    Welcome Programmers!

    programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.

    The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the “all” tab while the “local” tab shows posts on our site.


    🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites

    🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from

    ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on


    ⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site

    ❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here

    💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev

    🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.

    🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.
