New Orleans is really fortunate to have so many institutions that preserve, cultivate, and export its culture. Not many cities manage to be recognized internationally.

Not sure I'm enjoying the trend of developing server side apps with real-time transport as the whole architecture (electric Clojure, Blazor server, htmx, etc)

Is the poor JS interop for Blazor Server due to technical, or ideological reasons?
Clojure is ideologically at odds with its host platform, but it provides an idiomatic interface to utilize it because Java is just so ubiquitous and useful.

"Elements of Clojure" by Zach Tellman may be my favorite software engineering book, and it's now available for FREE!
Even if you don't use Clojure, it's still a really insightful meditation into the justifications behind great software design, where others have struggled to put into words.

me at a startup: we'd get so much more done if we had someone managing our CI pipelines, wrote more unit tests, and spent more time on architectural design
me at a big org: we'd get so much more done if we didn't have to deal with these CI pipelines, unit tests, and architectural design meetings

If anyone is curious about the exact moment I became a cynical developer, it's because I lived thru the trend of moving from thick backends that avoid JavaScript, to thick clients that embraced JavaScript, back to thick backends that avoid JavaScript

New Orleans bike mechanics: how come it's been like on average a 3 week wait to have anything looked at? Feel like it's been this way for a while. Genuinely curious.

Am I missing something about server-side Blazor apps? Like when you click a dropdown menu, it's acceptable for it to BLOCK the UI until the server's sole render thread decides to communicate back thru a SINGLE websocket? All so that grumpy .NET developers don't have to touch a little javascript?

I kind of appreciate that the temperature here in New Orleans is rising back to normal levels and the snow is melting quickly. We get to skip the whole "two weeks of disgusting brown snow and wet socks" hangover period that I absolutely don't miss from growing up in the north

As New Orleans stays covered in snow, the city has become eerily silent. This is because of the acoustics of snow, yes, but largely because all the highways and roads are shut down. Cars are the largest source of noise pollution and this is your proof.
