This is a hilarious comment because windows ignored the developer experience for YEARS with its horrible command line experience. Windows was a regression. Linux/unix, which powers the world by the way, is where it is at regardless o

I found the person who doesn't have kids. Nothing about helping someone better understand something is cheating. Helping your own child? That is just natural. I find what you said revolting.

This kid has plenty of time to dive into other languages. C is a great choice.

Paywalled so I will not attempt to read but the first little bit... Just makes me imagine what it must be like to be one of these elite engineer types at insanely luxurious parties talking to "experts" all day long and I have to t

You make it sound so ... unaccomplished ... to just reach out and get a high paying "easy" job. Do they exist? I have yet to find an "easy" high paying job. I've been stuck in the $50K~75K range my entire 17 year

Is this what passes for an article about metaprogramming in ruby? Using send is extremely common especially when mocking private methods in rspec. I guess I am speaking from a rails lense, but what other lense is there for ruby development

Now that lsp is a first class citizen in neovim is very usable with little modification. It will never be a ctrl+p install away from feature X system though. You do have to put some effort in.

Working on codebases - like rails without rubocop - is not something I would like to consider. There is already too much variability in how people code.

Regarding burnout I know individuals in the medical field who wish they could control their schedules by reducing the number of clients per day, but they simply are not allowed to because leadership expects them to turn certain levels of pr

I use pop os and for some nearly insanity level reason highlighting is VERY janky. It often looses focus, switches the start point, completely becomes unavailable, and generally has nearly driven me to go insane. Maybe it is my mouse but I

I love it. In fact I haven't turned on my PC with the intent to play games since I bought the deck. I highly recommend it particularly if you have a busy schedule and want to be able to jump in and out of a game once in a while.

Self evaluating in this way really can push someone to the next level in a skill they are trying to learn! It seems especially effective when learning an instrument.

The reasons? Racism.

So you are opting out because you perceive others as doing something wrong. Ok. Having a child necessitates raising the child. Rather simple.

Man I definitely handle errors the "wrong way" in almost all go code I have written. I take a "log immediately with filename and line number" approach. For me, it works. For teams maybe not. For large codebases with

I have a younger sibling who is much younger than me. I would have to disagree and say that they are hypersensitive about conflicting opinions to the point that it could destroy a relationship to have an argument about the wrong subject.

I have to agree. For those people who have loving families that they can work with - realizing that EVERYONE has differences of opinion - staying near family is the single best thing you can do. You can have kids. Those kids can be aroun

Uh. Ok so one groups rate of successful suicide is more important than the others. Gotcha. At least we can agree that it is an epidemic among white middle aged men.

I have had what seems to me to be depression for most of my life (40+ years). I have been fortunate enough to have a kid and, now, I guess I just don't have time to be depressed or something because most of my thoughts of ending life

I don't know what this means about my personal (in-)ability but I've been developing for years (15+) and I feel like all of the other developers I have to deal with are constantly turning to weird, convoluted solutions to problems

I cannot dislike "clean architecture" enough.

It wastes time. It wastes fuel. WFH actually does work: there is this new fangled thingy called the internets that is a series of tubes which distributes things oh so magically. But certain management types feel great knowing that their d

True. It is vastly larger than gardening which in and of itself is rather more complex than mowing a lawn.

Let us evaluate. You work at Google. On encryption. And have the time and energy to write books on the side and you don't consider yourself an outlier? Please...

Lol ok we will have to agree to disagree about what makes a good garden. A well kept garden requires daily work, planning, determining crop rotation, and many other things that go way way beyond mowing a lawn.

Nit: there is definitely more effort involved in gardening than in mowing a lawn.
