In my programming language I want to split the List into empty and non-empty, but also have a name for both.

I don't like EmptyList, NonEmptyList and List, respectively.

What would you name them?

Hi! Unfortunately don't have cool links for you. I could, alternatively, offer a cat picture.

Maybe part of why text doesn't always feel like a great representation of code is we're trying to express a tree of possibilities in a 2d canvas.

Has anyone built something that merges task management and chat? Not both in the same platform but actually attempting to bring the concepts together.

People on substack are complaining that if you mention here you use substack you get some rage.

10 Years of Engineering Ladders On March 26, 2015, I posted a short blog post to the Rent the Runway engineering blog, Sharing Our Engineering Ladder, with a quick intro…

Can't believe it's been 10 years since I posted the RTR engineering ladders publicly. Anyway, I threw together a retrospective on that:

And that's why it's so important to share positive feedback. Let people know if you found value in their work, it just takes a minute.

Isn't this kind of detection something easier to build with code analysis rather than asking an LLM?
