I would advocate an additional method of supporting open source: contributing. Doesn’t even have to be features. Bug fixes or docs are amazing. Heck even opening really good issues where it’s clear the dev spent time getting a good reproduc

Awesome! I've seen several command runner variations but haven't looked too closely at them. How do you like `run_cmd`? I've got a crate for running commands that helps with the run ergonomics as well as error formatting but

I read your original comment as the company would make less money after being fined therefore take it out of their employees paychecks. Thanks for the clarification that's not what you were talking about. Regarding the premise: The pur

“What can it do?” if we are talking ceilings, then yes the book has successfully helped coders become contributors. I have several readers who got maintainer status on libraries after reading the book. Now, is it guaranteed to do that for e

I think you’re being downvoted because the premise of your question would imply that trickle down economics works, it does not. But I can think of one case where fines create a perverse incentive: really small towns run speed traps that fun

When people say “scripts” many time it’s right after “deploy” which is my target area. I’m not trying to take away from the bash conversation, I’m trying to find allies who care about writing the best possible “scripts” (and script adjacent

So this is overkill for many other people, but you can also write scripts in Rust. I’m authoring a Cloud Natuve Buildpack (CNB) and my team picked Rust even though all prior proprietary-spec Buildpacks save one are written in Bash. Is it ac

I’ve learned that aiming for perfection is how some people have fun. I think the tragedy is when fun, energy, and mental health aren’t part of the conversation about how work gets done.

I think the act of coding is fun, even if the domain is not. I think the goal should still be fun. It’s not fun to lose the beans. I think when the coding becomes overly fearful is when bugs and problems happen. Maybe you don’t have much le

I feel you’re deliberately missing the point of my story because you personally don’t like tipping. It’s not a surprise it’s *expected* in that industry. It’s common knowledge. I provided evidence of this above that you’ve chosen to ignore.

You’ve chosen to miss the point of my story to go on a personal rant against tipping. In the process you’ve also decided that the billionaire needs defending more than the person struggling to make a living wage.

The guides are pretty poorly paid. The companies are banking people who love the sport will do it for cheap, and they do. It’s similar to a ski instructor setup. Sometimes the position will come with room and board to help offset the meagre
