The most unfortunate part of all this churn is that git didn’t provide a way to ask it what a repository’s main branch is named.

Not to mention the LARGE realm of internal tools where you need something functional as conveniently as possible and aren't trying to drive a consumer-product-level market-differentiated experience.

"Speed" seems a vague claim. What are you referring to? Startup time, interactive use, scripting?

This has been called "ETL" for as long as I can remember. Could someone explain why they're using "ELT"?

Folks make a big deal about everything Fish gives you out of the box, but for someone who already has Zsh well–configured (eg. syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, fzf), can someone sell me on things I might be missing out on from Fish?

IIRC doesn’t the Tractatus itself famously end with a kind of acknowledgment of its own failure? “Whereof one can’t speak, thereof one must be silent?”

Good companies: “this was a failure of process, no individual is responsible”. SolarWinds: “the intern revealed our ‘solarwinds123’ password.”

“I have to use the lowest-common-denominator thing everywhere because I have to use it somewhere“ is an argument that never made sense to me.

Poetry has been great, for both local development and for deployment. I recommend using direnv (which has a Poetry recipe) to automatically activate your Poetry virtualenvs locally.

This is a good outcome. Apple was the bad guy here.

You should see my git aliases that makes heavy use of fzf. It definitely speeds me up. `ga` gives an fzf-powered selection only on files in my git status to `git add`. I can cherry pick commits without ever typing a branch or commit hash.

Nu shell is also really handy for these types of format conversions (and querying): > echo '{ "a": { "b": { "c": { "d": { "e": 5 } } } } }' | from json | to toml [a.b.c.d]

Excellent! That's one more site I can disable in Dark Reader. Edit: spoke too soon. It's not available in their enterprise edition yet. Re enables Dark Reader for corporate url.

I’ve also realized lately that just being able to maintain my focus (and quiet the anxiety that causes context switching) would be a bigger productivity boost than any methodology, tool, or programming language. It’s worth more than 10 year

Python for almost everything, but I’ve been getting into Elixir for web tier, and Nim is SO much more pleasant/featureful for a quick compiled language. I’d be happy to use any of the above for things but would feel “forced to” if I ha

It’s a boring language and I avoid it where I can help it. Its facilities for abstraction are too limited, everything is a loop, if err return, and so on. It’s just not a language I’d use by choice for anything.

“an Amazon microphone” is perfectly accurate and doesn’t sound like a product. Your suggestion is more explicit but no more accurate.

The optional parentheses for any function Guido proposes is similar to how Nim works. It's pleasant within Nim but seems too TMTOWTDI for Python.

Do those represent a "rapid accumulation of features" that create an "ever-increasing scope of the language" as the OP claims, or are they just tuning options? Keep in mind the Nim team didn't create the Boehm or Go
