I never trust a programming blog where the commenting system eats comments - in this case requiring me to enter a CAPTCHA it hadn't actually displayed.

Digital personal assistants today can help you send messages, place phone calls, schedule meetings or find answers from the Internet.
But there’s evidence that all the major tech giants are investing heavily in artificial intelligence to try and make digital assistants do a whole lot more helpful. "With so many idiots working on the problem, no wonder consciousness is still a mystery. "

We’ve been busy building the foundations to a project that we want to see as the basis for a lot of future work here at JetBrains. Now that we feel we’ve reached a minimum viable feature set, as well as a good architectural base for future development, we’re very happy to take the next steps on our roadmap, and release Nitra as an Open Source project. Become a grammar cop (for fun and profit)

I think you snipped too much.
Quote: What is Nitra?
As a reminder, Nitra is a framework for the next generation of language tooling.
Unless you read jetbrain's blog religiously and have a very good memory (it's been over half a year since they mentioned it), you'd have no idea what it is or why you should care.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

These aren’t rules or engineering guidelines. They’re simply the principles that I pay attention to when I write and operate code. "I don't believe in principle, But, I do in interest."

Why would engineers want to know coding principles?  Isn't that like saying they should know accounting principles? Or agricultural principles?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

:rollseyes: Well, I'm assuming he means 'software engineer', and context would help there, but sure.
On the other hand, yes, I do think engineers should know accounting principles. Ag principles? I suppose depending on the type of engineer?

Engineering field comes with a discipline where one has to follow the principles and practices. Although the author might not have specifically said about Software Engineer, still every Engineer irrespective of their field will have their own principles. Today everyone jumps in and codes but do they all become "Good or Great Programmers", Yes if they do follow the fundamental principles.
BTW The Ten Commandments that a person follows is nothing but "Biblical principles".

When I was in school I went to the principle pretty often and he was real interested in the trouble I got in. He had a paddle with my name on it...
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Nice article.
How about an article "Engineering Principles Every Developer Should Know"?
