Also the "programming language of the week". "<a well established C/C++ program, existing for many years> written in ruby" (or whatever the language was that week, so replace that with go, rust, etc.)

Don't forget another stuck in the past minimal semantic css based web framework that's almost unusable on anything more complex than its own demo. Complaints about react too, because its new (its 13 years old).

Take me back to the ancient past where we discussed the 1000th postmortem of python 2->3 and the truly bleeding edge users argued about whether this interesting new language should be referred to as ‘go’ or ‘golang’. Oh and the occasional Flutter or Elixir development update. And the weirdo technical shamans debating functional programming patterns. When was the last time someone recommended “Learn You…”? Besides the exaggeration of the first sentence, I’m actually deadly serious about the rest.

  When was the last time we all had an honest to goodness editor war? It doesn’t even have to be text editors, let’s rhetorically fistfight about IntelliJ versus Visual Studio. Other nostalgic prompts: - For competent power users, tiling window managers are better than desktop metaphor WMs - Is Java finally dead? - Is my manager a bitchass for not promoting me to the senior role (SF/GOOG/M/24) - If you don’t use the trackpoint on your Thinkpad your mom’s a hoe Good morning to all.

  "Weirdo technical shamans"—lmao, I’m borrowing this. The whole FP community is like that. It’s all fun and games until you ask, "But what did you build with it?"
