   And according to the law of leaky abstractions, they are 4 more complex systems you need to understand when they break down.

   This doesn't ask the most important question: why would I learn Go at all?

   I didn't say that you would know how to use it. You don't need to know, the framework uses it. What I said is that you would know _what_ it is if you ever get an exception from that class. I'm 95% sure that all those people c

   Spring is not a good example. If you're a seasoned Java developer you look at an `AbstractDestinationResolvingMessageTemplate` and you just know what it does. I'm not kidding. Spring used to be a bad example yes, but not anymore.

    I know that you didn't ask for this but I think this is the best course on Coursera hands down: https://www.coursera.org/learn/model-thinking I've larned much more from this than from anything else on this si

    My blog is at: https://the-cogitator.com/posts/blog/ I usually write about Kotlin and everything related. I've recently finished a Roguelike tutorial series if you're into that sort of stuff.

    It might feel like that but you have to learn how to see the matrix. You have 256 characters and 256 colors to encode each and every entity in DF using only CP437 characters. That's more than enough to be able to tell all the thi

    I think the problem is not the ASCII. It is the UX. I've been playing DF for years and what made the game for me from horrifying (not the complexity, but the UX!) to bearable is DFHack! It fixes a lot of the UX issues (not all of them

    I still remember those days when I would sit down at my Amiga after coming home, fiddle around with my floppy disks before settling with a game to play. This course brings back fond memories of the Commodore era.

    I love this site. I used this site back then to learn all about HTML and CSS and the fact that it still works with those age-old designs is a testament to the original CSS philosophy.

    I have. It was the best thing that could have happened. I've got 2 months to sit at home while being paid. The 2 months are soon over and I'm flooded with freelance work. So now I work 40-50% less for roughly the same amount of mo

    > sometimes you even want to use a more-wrong model because it fits your problem better. Or they are equal in fit, but the more wrong is easier to use.

    There is a flip side to this: check my other comment. "Overseas talent" is not invested in the product because most companies don't treat "overseas talent" as equals. My experience as "overseas talent" is

    I've worked for US companies and I'm amazed how low quality their talent is in general compared to talent in Europe. Then I realized that US companies can afford to buy top 2% talent in the EU, but most of them can't afford t
