Or maybe join forces and show them how it's really done? Not that I mind growing tomatoes, quite the opposite :)

From my own experience; as soon as I start thinking about revenue for personal projects, I start making the wrong choices. Which makes sense, the reason I'm doing them in the first place is for learning, sharing and fun. I believe the

Part of the problem is there just aren't a lot of people out there who can correctly judge that level of experience, and looking up the spectrum tends to simply look weird.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure the second there is a significantly better alternative that offers the same flexibility and control, plenty of people will jump. Same for C++. Assuming everyone else is an idiot leads nowhere worth going.

The current job market is so messed up that I honestly can't see myself getting a job until we hit a wall and people start using their brains again. I have 26 years of solid experience, been writing code since I was 8. There should be

Hehe, I have to remember to bring one of my custom Forths to the next interview.

And they're losing all but the worst candidates because of it, which explains a lot.

Yeah, been there, done that; wannabe FAANGs are the worst.

Hiring doesn't scale, period; deal with it.

The best interview processes are chill, laid back, open ended. That's the only way you're going to get relevant information. I've been verified to the moon and back by Apple and others for roles that could never have worked.

The difference is about as crystal clear as compiler/interpreter.

It certainly looks like what LLMs are doing is one aspect of what a brain is doing.

Or, people are spiritual, and realize it to different degrees. It's very easy to get confused about what we know and don't know on these subjects.

Goes for most injuries, in western medicine there has been an unfortunate tendency to fixate injuries from my experience. That just teaches the body to route around it, as it's seemingly not used anymore. Just lying still in a hospital

I more or less live in Emacs, but I wouldn't use it for drawing pictures or writing SmallTalk either. The right tool for the job.

Don't know, every time I try to do anything beyond trivial using Go generics I run into some kind of issue. They haven't been around that long, it takes time for ideas to mature.

by codr7 2y ago
I don't see that as a problem at all, just like I don't see header files in C++ as a major problem, there are benefits as well and Java has the best IDEs of any language I've worked in except maybe SmallTalk.

There's nothing forcing you to write EE style code in Java though, or depend on frameworks written in that style.

It's perfectly possible, and a lot less work, to wrap exceptions on their way up the call stack. The difference is you have to remember it at EVERY SINGLE freaking call site in Go.

I could tell you why, based on writing a ton of code in both, but I doubt that would lead anywhere.

Agreed, every time I jump back into Go I'm at first relieved at how nimble it feels; but it never takes long to remember what a pita error handling is or the kludges you need to write to do basic collection transformation pipelines (co

I'm pretty fond of Java; it's definitely a superior language to Go if you ask me, which I've also written a ton of code in. But I stay away from Spring Boot, end the entire EE stack of crap that came before it, if at all poss

And what kind of experience do you have using these languages?
835.
by codr7 2y ago
And what kind of experience do you have? Because I suspect it depends a lot on skill level.

There are better indicators for healthy food that many aren't so aware of. How many ingredients, how processed, amount of sugar/salt/worse etc.

Lisp makes total sense as a shell scripting language to me. Being able to switch back/forth without leaving the prompt is nice.

Finally some actual, non-wishful thinking truth. Very refreshing!

by codr7 2y ago
That's insane. You would likely lose absolutely nothing by throwing away most of it, and gain a lot.

Yeah, define productive. Because I suspect that comes with learning a lot less in the process and lower quality output.
