I think you are really wrong here. I’m 47 and after on and off running for decades, a few months ago I started to run every day. 2K in the first month - to start gently, then 2M (3.22k) for a month, then the next month 5k, and then 8k. I am

Honestly, I am a happier and more productive developer since left C++ behind for other languages. And it's not just the language, but the lack of ecosystem too. Things like the build system, managing dependencies, etc, all such a pain

A bit of a shameless plug, I've created this Rust tool to visualise header dependencies (major contributor to build time) of C++ projects. https://gitlab.com/Akeras/header-dependency-visualiser

What I find difficult is to switch my 2 decade C++ career into a rust job, despite learned Rust and finished some hobby projects touching ui, async and http server/client in Rust. Somehow most Rust job is about crypto currency.

Musically, those examples are really bland, and the rendering is of poor quality. Besides, I'm not sure what's the point of this. I can see how ChatGPT can be useful for devs/writers/researchers etc. I can't imagine

It’s a hard problem, and I don’t think there is a single solution for a DAW UI. On the one hand there are a lot of UI elements that can be built with traditional widget kits, like the toolbars, panels, even knobs and sliders just custom wid

It's not just that. I had only two articles published in well known journals, but in both cases the reviewers main criticism was that I didn't cite the reviewer's own article. It's an utterly corrupt system, something yo

Not sure if the code is the best place to track technical debt. Whenever a compromise made that results in tech debt, a ticket should be created in the issue tracker. That way it's easier to get an overview about the project's hea

In my experience as the carrier of a developer progresses, it is getting less about coding, and more about other tasks. The difference is probably the strongest between a senior vs principal/staff software engineer. In the places I wor

I find it amusing that many corporate dev teams picks C++ for its performance / low levelness, but then reject any code that Casey's advocate for. It is extremely hard to convince them to consider these things (ie in this case cac
