I'm not sure why you say I missed that. I didn't. Can you expand on what you meant by your reply. To me, your reply actually highlights what I was talking about; because your use of "this phenomenon" is _somewhat_ ambigu

Reading anything on Twitter is (subjectively) miserable. The platform is good only for since thoughts / sound bytes; not long articles (spread across many posts) and discussions. It's _worse_ if you don't use an account so yo

That's more or less what I was thinking. I want something to help me learn a language. Using gamification and reminders is a way to accomplish that. I don't see where it's doing anything wrong.

It's not really as simple as that, though. What if your server code uses paid, 3rd party libraries?

Having moved from an area _without_ sidewalks to one _with_ them, I would vote for them to be pretty much everywhere of medium population density. It's a lot safer for everyone that way.

The code tells you what the code _does_. The documentation (which can include comments in the code) tell you what the code is intended to do. Either one of those can be wrong. If the code doesn't match the documentation, then there is

You're missing the most basic utility they provide... that of making sure other code is calling the function with the right types of arguments. That's a lot of coverage over a language without a compile type checked type system.

Depends entirely on the context. There are plenty of cases where email, _especially_ when it comes to taking the time to sort out your thoughts and then format them nicely, is better than instance messaging.
