https://hachyderm.io/@adsouza/11...Earlier in my career I used C++ & Java; I rarely wrote unit tests. I also spent a lot of time debugging my code. The past several years I find myself needing to spend very little time debugging. I've also been using different languages (Go & OCaml) & writing more unit tests.
Hard to tell whether the dramatic reduction in bugs is because I'm using better languages, writing more tests or because I've slowly become a better programmer.
Presumably all of the above but I wonder what the breakdown is.

https://hachyderm.io/@adsouza/11...There's a pervasive false positive issue with all large-scale automated systems that try to find bad content on any platform.
I have a suggestion for letting people address the rare cases where something gets wrongly flagged: let them pay real money to have it investigated properly; if they're exonerated then they get a full refund.

https://hachyderm.io/@adsouza/11...I've now used OCaml for the past 2 years & mostly like it. Were I to start a new personal coding project, I'd do it in F#, which has very similar semantics (and syntax) but better support for maps & far more extensive libraries. If I were going to do something entirely targeted at WASM then I might use Grain instead.
