Of course they’re not. They’re selling a shallow self-help brand, disguised as greybeard developer insights. It’s easy to find examples of actual great developers & read about their work.

I was totally unaware of the progress of Odin, it looks way more interesting now than when I had first heard of it. I’m surprised it’s already been adopted (or did they start EmberGen in Odin?!) by a commercial product.

(Ignoring the language itself for a moment) I absolutely love cargo. It’s so productive & easy to use. I have never had the pleasure of using such a painless cross platform build system. I’m neutral on Rust itself but Cargo is awesome.

I love no starch. Their books are always great, both in print quality and content.

I have more experience with Go + interact with it more regularly at work, whereas choosing Rust was mostly for fun/exploration. I realized I don't have the bandwidth currently to learn/debug a new language I'm unfamiliar

render.com & fly.io are two choices that may fit your description. I've deployed a small project to render.com and it's been enjoyable.

Had a hobby project on heroku that I've moved to render.com pretty painlessly. It's a simple rust (actix + sqlite) project. I now have a go (gin + sqlite) project that is intended to replace the rust project that I also plan to se

I live in a city that's zoned for %80~ single-family homes. In what way is that a free market?

How so? It’s not immoral to abstain from creating life (having children, biologically speaking). Am I missing something?

Do you have any links to, or can you share any more information about "modern" haskell? What's different?

I'm thinking it may be due to functional programming ideas slowly being introduced to (or were already part of) some of the more trendy/mainstream languages like C++20 (ranges, lambdas, concurrency, etc) & Rust (pattern matchi

This seems particularly alarming to me. Why would it be hidden?

Great news, I’m very excited for the future of Godot. Once Godot 4.0 reaches beta, I’ll hopefully have some time to play around with it for hobby projects.

This is absolutely essential and desperately needs to pass. Additionally, spouses of lawmakers should be banned from stock trading too. That would be a tremendous starting line .

Exactly this, I know many adults who almost never buy raw ingredients to cook for themselves. It is common & accepted to consume exclusively frozen food, packaged snacks, and takeout.

A friend of mine was on the QA team at Blizzard Albany and his complaints were straightforward: the pay is awful & the hours are long (especially during crunch).

I’ve had this list bookmarked for years and love referring back to it for ideas. It’s also one of the first things I send to new(er) programmers so they can make cool tangible stuff & avoid tutorial burnout.

I actually totally agree, it's hard to become re-invested if I take too long of a break. The lore gaps between missed seasons are somewhat frustrating.

I've played Destiny 2 on/off for a long time, definitely thousands of hours at this point. In my opinion (which I think is common amongst the community) is that the current state of the game is the best it's been in a long ti

I strongly dislike the trend towards ligatures by default in newer fonts. Maybe it’s because I learned without them, but I find that the readability of code is far worse with ligatures. My personal favorite fonts at the moment are Jetbrai

Nobody is too stupid to understand zoning, and I never suggested that was the case. I am saying that most people are entirely unaware how/why zoning occurs around them at all.

This is an intentionally poor & misleading question. So few people want to get rid of it because so few people are even aware of what it is, why it’s bad, and how it affects their community.
