Software is not inherently good nor bad. It either solves a problem you have or it doesn't. Linux, for instance, is not a great fix for my specific uses on the desktop. That doesn't make Linux bad. It's just not the right sol

It's not about honesty or fame. The author does not and can not know if the code is going to be good for your use case. Only you can know that. Evaluate it yourself and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, don't use it.

I would imagine that much of the software that you download from Github doesn't claim to be production ready. Many open source licenses include language like this: > THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTOR

https://www.21-draw.com/ has been advertised to me a few times. I've been very tempted to get a membership and put some focused practice in. They mostly focus on digital art though.

> Otherwise you might be a bad parent. This is not helpful either. You could have said what you thought without implying someone is a bad parent (in the same way that nobody should have implied that you are a pedophile).

The cover image itself is not pornographic, IMO. If it were an image of people actually having sex, then yeah let's talk about that. But it's not. It's literally just a naked ass. Gotta be honest, I think you're reading

Nudity and porn are not the same things.

You might check out the Boox Nova3 Color. Color e-ink, but it's somewhat small for a tablet.

You're making a huge assumption that the owner is not also providing labor. In some cases this may be true, but I would imagine that it's the exception rather than the rule. For instance, I can be a freelancer and have to handle c

Without legally imposed duty of care, the only thing that can be done to draw a line in the sand is to commit (collectively) to maintaining a reasonable level of professional practice. Simply do not entertain probing and meddling. "It&

IMO: software engineers have a professional responsibility to mitigate technical debt (among other things). Accountants do not _ask permission_ to reconcile the books with the bank account. Mechanical engineers do not _ask permission_ to re

Of course. I have no interest in roles like that though, so for my purposes, it’s still generally a good measure.

I think it's fine. As a hiring manager, I would want to know if there are internal company things that are turning away potential hires. Personally, I stay far, far away from places where I'd be required to use Windows, Teams, etc

When they sell you a phone, you are paying for the hardware and the software that runs on it. Apple is providing a service with the App Store and related services. Whether or not you _like_ that service or how they price it is another matte

Sure. But as stated previously, even a basic hello world go program does use the runtime.

This is a bad argument for the same reason that "my yacht can't be used for cross country road trips" is a bad argument. You're 100% not going to use the normal Go compiler for embedded development. It's not a use-c

As someone who has tried to like Rust repeatedly, I found that a collection of "gotchas" like this extremely offputting. Is it better for people to unlearn a common thing to do it the "rust way"? Or for Rust to make itse

Highly recommend the appbrewery flutter bootcamp (it’s a video course). It’s $10 and will get you up and running quickly. I have no affiliation with them other than as a happy customer.

$100 per compared to however much you make per year using that tool is nothing if that tool makes you more productive. Personally, I haven’t found a lot of great alternatives. Picking the best text editor is like picking the best mail cli
