> who can indeed do many things I cannot No. This is exactly my point. You can do it too, you just might need to organize your code this way to do it.

Mate. You didn’t have to do anything. You got to do whatever you wanted and you wanted “smarter coworkers” who didn’t use PHP. But I stand by what I said now and nearly a decade ago, and now try to be blunt: Fabrice Bellard didn’t organis

Bingo. Some people see something hard and give up until someone else makes it easier. Others make themselves better, and it will pay dividends.

If you learn how deal with programs organised this way, you won’t have “maintenance concerns” and you’ll be a better programmer. Win-win!

I think I can agree with a lot of this, but I feel it’s a lot like blaming the government, when we live in a democracy so we are the government, and so I think programmers themselves deserve the blame. Any time I try to tell someone how t

Nail on head. Pthreads is an extremely difficult API to use, owing first to a poor choice of primitives, the consequences of which are that none of the implementations are particularly good and their interactions with the rest of the machin

Well for one, consultants are rarely brought in to working, well-functioning companies. Also, scrum (as in the dot-org) doesn’t do a great job of teaching management how to measure the performance of their team so it’s very easy to be bad a

Your scrum master is a tool and a liability and if they worked for me this would result in a documented disciplinary action. Don’t tolerate power-trippers.

Think of the standup-time as the upper-bounds on how long a problem will block someone before everyone knows about it instead of the lower-bound on time-to-cure. If you always know who can solve every problem for you, then you’re either n

I hold hopes people will discover as I did, the Real real problem with the C language is the C library and the diglossia. Maybe that's a different language[1], but it's one you get with just a bit of #define and discipline. For ex

I'm not sure I'm following exactly. Are you saying that everything (or almost everything) worth automating is already automated by someone else so learning how to do new things isn't important?

Have you considered just using a (sticky) compose key and setting macros for some weird characters? That way you wouldn't have to run scripts to change modes.

When a C++ compiler sees a statement like template<class T>... it updates its internal state to be able to recognise the constructions this statement is intended to enable. If you are able (somehow) to encapsulate this state, and save
