I detest my car. Not only is it generally more expensive than public transport, you always have to set aside money to replace or fix broken parts. Regularly driving to the oil station sucks. Traffic jams, which are more and more commonplace

I've used it on a small project and it worked beautifully. It even understands and respects Bats syntax.

That's exactly how we use the backlog: Whenever we come across things which could be improved, we create a ticket for it. That could be UX improvement, ideas to speed up the CI pipeline, or general code improvements which take more tha

Absolutely hated that game, graphics couldn't make up for it. I still don't get why it has such a huge fan base.

I agree that Kafka is overused. But IMHO Kafka's strength is not scaling but decoupling. Services can publish data without other interested parties being online. If you need this, is obviously another question.

I am shocked how readable the code is. Was expecting some Perl-like spaghetti.

For me KDE 3.5 was the epitome of Linux on the Desktop, KDE 4 felt like a huge step backwards when introduced (may not be true anymore).

Exactly. Never understood the need for meat-like products, when there are tons of healthy meals free from meat (but based on lentils, beans and other tasty stuff).

At some point Java will introduce value types, which are non-nullable.

This may sound stupid but what helps is: * jump straight into the implementation * skip writing tests, CI or documentation * do not overthink stuff, write the simplest code that works * do not account for edge cases This way, I spend most o
