I hate VSCode as an IDE and is the reason why I have not used Cursor. I wish Jetbrains actually had some brains to build a better coding agent inside their IDEs (which I think are one of the best out there), but for now Im stuck with codex/cc + Jetbrains IDE

Someone I knew went through a lot of abuse by a LI user and kept making new accounts to harass. LinkedIn's response - "We did not find anything that violates our ToC". No wonder it has become a cesspool of spam, fraud and abusers.

They are practically interchangeable, but conceptually there might be another layer on top of entities and relationships for somewhat richer semantics (like describing a relation, or additional annotations on the entity)

And it is baking in "price" as the special field. This may not be just one field for another temporal entity

Having an explicit end date allows certain rows to be inactive automatically after validity period. Think of seasonal categories/products etc which dont exist after a specific period

A technical breakdown"]]>I said it in another thread. Yes, of course we cannot match the local store interactivity. What I mean is coast to coast RTT is 65-80ms. And the server can be optimized to return back basic operations (adding a comment, a new ticket, reading one back etc) can be done within tens of milliseconds, keeping the entire thing under 100ms coast-to-coast. If one can colocate servers with users, it becomes even less. I'd rather to server side "reconciliation" than do both (because serverside thing doesnt go away even with localstore, it is just deferred).

A technical breakdown"]]>Writing an eventually consistent database is hard, it maybe fine for Linear's use cases, but not knowing if my updates made it to the server (aka my team),is problematic. The sync lags have created untold problems in other projects I have worked for, so I always go for a synchronous solution. All the fancy stuff comes out only if it's absolutely needed. I'd rather optimize my server to be blazing fast, and have the user "suffer" network latency.

More experience doesn't automatically mean better either. That is not to say experience doesn't matter. It matters quite a bit. Sure , good interns can sometimes have good feedback or spot mistakes. But not consistently enough.

All of this to say that it's not just experience that makes one a better engineer.
