False | SizzlerWA | t2_4c26u | Well, I did find AppKit to be a clusterf*ck but we can disagree, that’s OK. Especially controls and control cells - it’s just so obsolete and painful.
Yes, there’s a certain “flavor of the month” trend in JavaScript, true, I share your annoyance with that. But ReactNative is fundamentally good tech, can produce very good apps and is fairly easy to learn if you take a month or so and check your biases at the door.
I used to be in the “JS is silly” crowd but I’ve converted to love it through personal experience. I’m comparing JS and AppKit based on significant personal experience with both, not hearsay or speculation.

False | crabbone | t2_e3qdk15 | But Go doesn't solve any of the problems you are talking about. If anything, it makes it much worse!
You have return codes, like in C. Well, that sucks for a number of reasons, one being that you cannot compose functions you'd really want to compose, second being forgetfulness and code bloat: the more code you have to write, the more errors there will be.
You also have something like exceptions... which bubbles, and you can sort-of catch it, but you cannot catch it selectively... (I mean `panic()`).
Aaand... sometimes your program simply crashes, the good old memory segmentation fault, and your ridiculous attempts at preventing that crash will remain unnoticed because your panic handler will not get called.
Oh, but there's more! There are goroutines. What do you do if one goroutine panics? Or needs to send an error into a channel with a type that doesn't support errors? What if you don't care if the goroutine paniced? What if you do? What if you want to collect all errors from all goroutines? Or maybe just the first? I'll tell you, it becomes quite a circus when you start dealing with all that. Usually, people start thinking about a library for dealing with errors in Go when they are couple thousands locs into the project, and v1 already shipped to customer. And now it breaks in many interesting ways. And then it gets really interesting. | null | 0 | 1545598198 | False | 0 | ecevp7w | t3_a8rptf | null | null | t1_ece9a6a | /r/programming/comments/a8rptf/i_do_not_like_go/ecevp7w/ | 1547987160 | 12 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

Personally, I'd say that a real beginner should start with a simple text editor and *not* an IDE. Learning the art of Programming and your first language is going to be complicated and confusing enough without adding in the complexity of many (most?) IDEs. Once the basics are down and the beginner is writing more code then maybe it's time for an IDE. | null | 0 | 1544408227 | False | 0 | ebgzcdp | t3_a4p9dy | null | null | t3_a4p9dy | /r/programming/comments/a4p9dy/choosing_a_text_editor_an_important_decision/ebgzcdp/ | 1547414889 | 6 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | Bewilderforce | t2_6s5g0 | I can't help but think these cases are of mistaken identity more than anything else. We are programmers, how welcoming a language is should only be secondarily related with how friendly the people are or how nice they seem or how many corporate approved meetups there are. It's how many barriers to entry exist, how much work has been put into documentation and tooling; as far as the "new"er languages I've had experience with are concerned I would argue that Rust is peerless in those categories. With the minimal effort of adding header comments to each of the functions you write the compiler auto-generates full documentation, a full testing and benchmarking harness is built into the compiler, cargo and crates.io are probably the easiest package management system I've ever laid eyes on.
I guess I'm just confused as to why you're so hung up on how nice people seem when the documentation is robust, the error messages are of high-quality and the supporting tools (debugger, documentation, test-suite, build scripts, package management) are more or less painless and all built into the language.

False | RirinDesuyo | t2_6j0d1cr | That really depends, I tend to avoid those kind of talks most of the time as chatting or slack / teams involves less distractions overall and we tend to get to the point faster. If there's things needed more to be done then a quick screen share usually solves the problem. I tend to avoid afterwork parties as well since I'm not really into those and would rather spend that time with my hobbies at home. It may sound like I'd be miserable from that alone but I promise you I'm quite happier to do my hobbies at home and maybe a short LAN party with online friends than going out for dinner or beer with co-workers (which are great people, I just don't fancy their way of having fun).
I guess this is more of the personality of the employee in question than anything though.

False | Hero_Of_Shadows | t2_13fjr0 | First off I'd like to thank you for all the effort you put into this, this is great work.
I've used Electron to build some apps, but I must admit I didn't really use any of the newer/wow technologies like voice recognition or WebGL I used Electron to build a themable UI fast and that UI would wrap around the true functionality.
So from that perspective Sciter would be just as good, allow me to use HTML and CSS to rapidly build GUI and it's fine, the fact that Sciter uses less resources is just the cherry on top.
But that's the thing **if** Sciter can match the ease/speed of developing with Electron (due to the numerous tutorials, starters and etc) then I will make the switch so this means besides the obvious technical superiority Sciter will need tutorials at least as good as those already existing for electron preferably better.
One particular point at which Electron is weak, is imho building production versions and installers if Sciter came out with say a CLI that generated a project for you and that project had churning out production builds as simple as `npm run build-prod --windows` it would be a huge selling point.
This is just advice, but look at Cordova vs Ionic, Cordova is the parent project it allows you much more freedom in chosing your framework etc etc which is all good but Ionic even if it limits your choices it has such a good CLI that here at our firm we chose it over Cordova every time. | null | 0 | 1545600402 | False | 0 | eceyzfa | t3_a8vkzm | null | null | t1_ece54af | /r/programming/comments/a8vkzm/sciternode_as_an_alternative_to_electron/eceyzfa/ | 1547988708 | 4 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

The three new coders showed up into an unfamiliar project, did a bunch of damage and then got moved somewhere else after a few weeks, leaving me scratching my head as to wth they were thinking when coding refactor.

False | mhemeryck | t2_1xahzxgd | Wow, lots of response to this issue, seems like a sensitive topic :)
I also agree that ideally, you'd have both a sound architecture and extensive documentation.
In practice though, I feel the issue is a bit more subtle, i.e. it depends on what _kind_ of documentation you are talking about (also, "clean architecture" is also hard to measure or explain). Actually, by having a second look at the article, this is exactly what it's describing: a quick start, overall intent in a README, examples, version control the docs, ... and I do agree that these are very valuable.
I just don't agree with the general statement "there's no such thing as too much docs".
I particularly think this is an issue when your documentation:
1. tries to make up for a poor implementation
2. is tightly linked to the implementation, meaning more lines of code to maintain
Consider this: I get the argument that "writing no docs because the code is clear" enough might be just plain lazy -- but the reverse situation, where you try to make up for some bad piece of code with some docs is even worse.
Suppose you have this bad piece of code, with some docs detailing its implementation. Acknowledging that people _are_ generally lazy, the next person that comes in and that needs to make some changes, will do just that and not update the docs. Now you have two issues: the implementation is still hard and the related docs became inconsistent and you don't really know what to trust anymore. | null | 0 | 1545601672 | False | 0 | ecf0qu6 | t3_a8iw6b | null | null | t1_ecdb2qf | /r/programming/comments/a8iw6b/ten_simple_rules_for_documenting_scientific/ecf0qu6/ | 1547989520 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | 8yffuldyeknom | t2_2528s0uy | I’m a software engineer working in the US for a major tech company. I know that at least there’s very good opportunities for top performer programmers. I know 25 year old programmers making almost 300k total compensation (not engineering managers). Work life balance is actually pretty decent (8 hours a day, 20+ vacations days a year, paid sick time off, holidays). Also cost of living is not too bad, as long as you are not in the bay area or new york, there’s a lot more locations that are not crazy expensive. Where I live, I spend around 35k total a year. This is definitely not the norm, but opportunities like this exist in the US because of the market conditions described in the video. | null | 0 | 1544410961 | 1544411593 | 0 | ebh2ayb | t3_a4n8jv | null | null | t3_a4n8jv | /r/programming/comments/a4n8jv/why_software_developers_are_paid_5x_more_in_the/ebh2ayb/ | 1547416291 | 21 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | RyMi | t2_7vzoz | I was a 100% Scala developer for the last 3-4 years and recently transitioned to a position that's 100% Go. You give a good deal and you gain a good deal (at least in a large codebase with several other developers). In my opinion its biggest warts are the lack of generics and tedious error handling, which have fixes in the planning phase. I'm sure the rollout will be painfully slow though.
&#x200B;
As you learn to let go the desire to write concise, clever, or pretty code, the team becomes more and more productive. Compile times are fast, tooling is pretty great, and the opinionated formatting gets rid of a lot of the style debates I've had in Scala teams. Even though Scala and heavy functional is where I feel most at home, I am able to get features to production faster now in Go than when I was a professional Scala dev. Again, this has to do with working in a team in a large codebase.
&#x200B;
There are some really nifty features in Go that I enjoy. The standard library is really good compared to most other languages I've used. Implicit interface implementation has some drawbacks, but also has some great benefits. I also enjoy using a well designed package and I like the ease of extending types. But on the whole, I'd still say Go code is not the most "fun" language to program in, but once you accept the Go way of doing things, it's not so bad.
&#x200B;
The warts are really noticeable and a huge pain to work with, but from a business perspective, I can totally see, and agree with, the appeal of Go. | null | 0 | 1545601818 | False | 0 | ecf0y3q | t3_a8rptf | null | null | t1_ecdn9zp | /r/programming/comments/a8rptf/i_do_not_like_go/ecf0y3q/ | 1547989610 | 3 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
