This isn't a guaranteed full time job. For all intents and purposes, it's a short term contract with very little notice. Dev time is like anything else, if you buy in bulk (say... 2000 hours a year) and on a regular schedule, you

Does PHP control nuget packages? No. No they do not. Neither does Python (the python package you linked to is managed by a Microsoft employee).

I thought transform boundaries were the big earthquake risk (not that there is none at convergent boundaries). At least that's what I remember from my 8th grade earth science class. I could be really wrong.

You seem to be using "pollute" as a synonym for "releasing CO2", while Yoric does not. I think the two of you are talking past each other.

Google controls JS to the point of being able to ignore the spec (e.g. that time they left TCO behind an experimental flag and it just went away despite being in the spec). As long as node and chrome are so dominant, we're probably not

I reckon you might be right about that last part, unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere deep down in the human brain it just defaults to trusting the person who looks most like your parents/siblings/children&#x2

In languages like JS/Python, you can mock imports. Actually, sometimes you can mock things defined in the same file if you set things up right. Basically, the logic not being inlined into the function is enough to provide this behavior

Yup. FZF is where it's at. :Files to jump to a file, :Rg to search around for some content. I also keep vinegar around for when I want to poke around at the contents of a directory.
