Hmm, have rarely found youtube comments to be worthwhile, and on average terrible. However use of yt-dl or similar might be the best of both worlds. Newpipe can make that easier.

It's true, but not entirely different than someone saying they've only built DOS apps and now want to build a Mac application and having quite a few misconceptions along the way. At least how I read it.

Not at all a fan of apps that run a webserver locally and interface through a browser. Will make a rare exception, but I wouldn't use one long term. Not exactly what you are asking, but similar. I do like the mature pattern of having

Does it require proprietary tools? Would like to use Linux and possibly Blender, but classes at school often use whatever big-tech tools they cut a backroom deal for.

I've found if you can break up a regex into verbose form, and debug it on a app or site like regex101.com, you can figure out just about any expression. Then add comments with that understanding. That may not extend to the email addres

Service folks almost always work in shifts already, many are part time. One of the benefits of moving up the ladder is to get holidays off. I think this is the only way it could possibly work. Agree that most people should have say, Sunda

Too bad companies don't know how to hire, and will disqualify you when the first micro-flaw is found. So people running in with their resume makes no difference.

Hmm, I already have a shell alias that does 90% of this. Doesn't parse .gitignore, but it's not a big problem for me. If it was I'd do `make clean` in the project. This is always installed and ready to go on any box I have

If not you can almost always swap with Caps lock via software. That should slowly break the dependence on the corner key.

Software is never perfect though, especially for an agile product. The reason agile the method is chosen is because they are exploring the space. But you do touch on a real phenomenon, the Iceberg secret. The solution of which is typicall

While that affects most older workers, one group that it doesn't are famous, well-connected, high-achieving folks. It's not like Guido van Rossum is hurting for work, for example. So he is mostly likely well-off already, and has

People move on for all sorts of reasons. He's probably well off after a long career, so I don't see the point of the ageism at the end of your post.

The reason is that a lot of folks complain Python is slow. It can be 100x slower than optimized C at times. Are these projects related? No, except that they are being attempted in the same time frame and may complement each other.

You don't tell non-technical folks technical details, you deliver finished tickets on schedule, which makes them happy. Would you discuss what algo's you used with them? Database schema? No, then talking about unit tests is a

Disagree. This is a misconception junior devs often have... that you need to ask permission to do your job. (Not unless the boss is dysfunctional, in which case it's time to leave.) Tests and refactoring should be done as part of eve

I don't think you're supposed to do nothing at that point. Leisurely improve your tools, read to improve knowledge/performance, etc. This compounds your efficiency over time, without the stress of more deadlines.

That sounds... unnecessary. There is always stuff to refactor, and tests to add, folks showing up at the last minute with new requirements. Or you can just wait a day to push commits, etc. More honest, I think.

A lot of immature comments regarding Windows vs. Linux in the readme... kind of a turnoff to be honest.

If you've got constructive criticism, by all means. Offer only a misunderstood use case, don't expect to be indulged.

Complaining a program doesn't fit your use case (with a modern coat of paint to boot) is not really constructive criticism. Notably without specific solutions. In fact comes across as entitled. Sure it can be improved, but dumbed-dow

Inkscape is not for basic tasks, and shouldn't be dumbed-down imho. Yes, (you're about to say) software can always be improved. I'm guessing there are other programs free through expensive that meet your basic-tasks use case
