100% agree with this. I've seen plenty of devs who type a couple dozen characters in a session and spend the rest of their time clicking around on IDE prompts. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I've seen newer devs beco

This has been my experience. I'm by no means an IDE power user, but the only things I really missed while using vim were finding references and going to definition. Nowadays I can do that in vim for every language I care about without

This is actually the frame of reference I've taken to giving most folks. Zig is to C what Rust is to C++ in my mind. Is there a lot of overlap between all 4? Absolutely. But devs still choose C over C++ (and Rust) in some cases, and I

Top 2% puts you fairly deep into the six figures, no? I've not even surpassed top 10% and haven't had too much issue getting into 2 homes in the last 3 years. Both in areas I would consider "semi-desirable", which leaves

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not. They would want to pass you because human drivers aren't rigidly law abiding machines. Is there a large portion of people that go exactly the speed limit, or even lower? Sure.

Nim has actually had that distinction for a while if you're interested. As far as I remember, the "func" keyword is sugar for a "proc" annotated with some kind of flag that enables side effect analysis.

There were a lot of areas, particularly with the more legacy systems, that were super painful to work with. But a lot of the newer, greenfield development was good stuff built on good technologies. I'm not sure how you could have this

How long ago did you work at RV? I was there after 2016 and they had some really solid tech and incredibly bright engineers. Sure, there were some ass-hats and politics (show me a company where there isn't), but I'd rank it pretty

Not that it really makes it any better, but the engineering/tech side is almost completely divorced from the sales side when it comes to work life balance and culture. Most of the complaints I see across the internet come from folks wh

I feel I need to come back and report that my manager just sent this in slack: "I Agree!!..."

You're right and I do try not to do that. But as someone who's used text based communication every day for more than half my life, there's definitely some unconscious bias I've developed towards specific behaviors that I

100% agree about ending periods. I always read those messages as being irritated or overly firm. Potentially worse, though, are people who have a habit of abusing ellipses (...) in weird places. My boss does this in virtually every sentence

The downvotes on this sadden me greatly.

That's not the full scope of his argument. His first video on the topic (roughly ~2 hours) details his motivations for tackling a new language, part of which was why existing languages don't solve the problem in his mind. Not liki
