I enjoyed reading this. I knew of quartz composer but I never did anything with it. I love visual tools and I think they are underutilized today. I cut my teeth in ~2005 with Houdini[0] and Fusion[1] which are both heavily graph / node

What would it take to make them again? Would it just cost too much?

"but spend the majority of our lives working 40 hour weeks to outcompete each other and make rent" THIS. I am so sick of the competition in most tech jobs / companies to climb the stupid ladder. Everyone just wants more more

I know it is not the same thing but Godot is close for being able to get something working in 2D as fast as you could in Flash. I am optimistic we will see a Flash alternative popup as WASM and WebGPU continue to grow.

Yes and no. Defensive operations on an active fire ground are standard operating procedures; no argument. But most departments do not operate the way this department in Tennessee does where they did not run the call when it was received bec

And here we are in modern times where we do, indeed, let buildings burn. > No pay, no spray: Firefighters let home burn > Firefighters in rural Tennessee let a home burn to the ground because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 fee.

I bought Tailwind UI and am using all their components (or as much as I can). I don't disagree with anything you said but I do like the tailwind features and design philosophy. I have completely ignored web components and need to learn

I am burnt out (but recovering!) with web dev and htmx is what I am using for my project. Django, DRF, Postgres, tailwind and HTMX. I am so tired of all the front end frameworks and all the complexity that gets added. At some point I think

Thanks! I need to start writing. It seems like lots of folks write about their RC experience. I plan to stream a little bit when I am coding and I started a podcast which will start publishing in 2023 and I plan to recording some vlogs and

This is great. I love go links ever since knorton turned me on to them. I will give this a spin first thing in the morning.

Bingo. This has been my experience as well. It's like once you reach a certain level of management mirrors don't exist and problems only exist elsewhere in the org.

I am chatting with my Mom on the phone planning Christmas. My dad died over 26 years ago and I am an only child so we always do our own thing. I am heading to Recurse Center in January and thinking about what I am going to do. Reading more

To an extent, sure, and that can apply arbitrarily to lots of things. The Python community, by and large, embraces "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" and some features in the standard library use exceptions for their flow

Especially given the current landscape of log handling as the author points out. I am all in on structured logging most of the time and I don't want to have to deal with a newline causing multiple records in my log aggregation.

I worked with a guy that did this. Instead of writing for loops he would write comprehensions everywhere because "list comprehensions are pythonic". Think like: [send_welcome_email(u) for u in users] Just hanging out in th
