theverge.com Georgina Torbet 2025-10-04 11:47:01

After I first learnt Haskell, I thought it natural to try and make something I’ll use in my day-to-day life. An idea of what to make almost immediately sprang up in my head.

The Expression Problem and its solutions

The craft of programming is almost universally concerned with different types of data and operations/algorithms that act on this data . Therefore, it's hardly surprising that designing abstractions for data types and operations has been on the mind of software engineers and programming-language designers since... forever.

Should we revisit Extreme Programming in the age of AI?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-12 18:38:50

The pace of software output has never been faster. AI tooling and decades of platform innovation have dramatically lowered the barrier to code creation. With just a few prompts or API calls, it is now possible to generate entire products, features, infrastructure, and functionality in hours rather than weeks. And yet, despite all this acceleration, delivery outcomes remain stubbornly poor. Too many initiatives underdeliver, budgets continue to overrun, and users are left underserved. If cheaper
