I really like Nushell. I would not run it as a daily driver currently, as it mostly doesn’t win me over from Fish, feature-wise, but I love having it available for anything CLI date pipeline work I need to do.

Love this. Always interesting to see novel ways of querying data in the terminal, and I agree that jq’s syntax is difficult to remember.

I actually prefer nu(shell) for this though. On the lobste.rs thread for this blog, a user shared this:

| get license.key -i
| uniq --count
| rename license

This outputs the following:

╭───┬──────────────┬───────╮
│ # │    license   │ count │
├───┼──────────────┼───────┤
│ 0 │ bsd-3-clause │    23 │
│ 1 │ apache-2.0   │     5 │
│ 2 │              │     2 │
╰───┴──────────────┴───────╯

Thank you, that’s very kind of you - and I completely agree, healthcare works are so undercompensated for what they do, and yet so vital. I feel the least they deserve is a Christmas meal to celebrate the end of the year together.

I really appreciate your offer to contribute and share this on.

That’s so interesting. I’m a developer myself, but haven’t ever tackled a making a framework. Having obviously dealt many times with assuming there must be a framework error after hours of debugging (usually to find out it was indeed a user error…), I can imagine the debacle of trying to figure that out while developing one!

What have been your biggest challenges as you’ve developed this?

I’d give it a go, and probably will at some point, but just don’t have time at the moment. But having had a cursory glance, I’m very impressed with the documentation. The framework looks similar enough to Vue and svelte that I feel it would be easy enough for most frontend devs to pick this up quite quickly.

Like many others here, at the company I work for you get nothing.

I do one on-call shift as primary per week and one as secondary. I then also cover a week every six weeks or so.

If shit really hits the fan, them work is pretty cool about taking some time back, but we’re far from micromanaged as it is, so we can just kind of make it work.

I’d say an incidency probably occurs on around half of my primary shifts (and I’ve yet to ever do anything as secondary), and nearly always it was something I could resolve within one hour.

Every dev at the company is on the rota once they’ve got a few month’s experience.

Based in the UK.

There isn’t, but there is !learn_programming@programming.dev. Given the current size of the instance and the community though, questions should be absolutely fine here in this community for the time being.

programming.dev/c/learn_programming would also be a good fit for this.

I asked ChatGPT to summarize from the video transcript:

“In the video, the presenter discusses a challenge in object-oriented programming related to changing the runtime type of objects. Using the example of invoices in a bookstore application, they demonstrate how the State design pattern is commonly used to address this issue but comes with limitations. They introduce the functional programming approach as an alternative, emphasizing the creation of types rather than classes and the use of abstract records and extension methods. The functional programming approach simplifies the implementation, avoids the need to change runtime types, and offers advantages such as shorter code. The presenter encourages viewers to consider adopting functional programming principles, especially with the evolving nature of languages like C#.”

I’m not entirerely sure I agree with his premise. I totally see the merits of functional programming (either pure or blended with traditional OOP), but I don’t think his example really solves the ORM problem any better than if he’d not used a deliberately contrived OOP example intended to make make his point look better.
