There’s a fascinating idea in here about how software spellchecks will alter our language over time. A few software companies / spellcheck AI’s dictating what is right and what isn’t.

There's something wholesome and epically 'sci-fi' about this idea. Thanks for sharing!

Do you ever turn on chip-tunes mode? The first time I did I couldn't remember how I turned it on. That was a fun few minutes

I have an Ergodox Moonlander on which I have a few of the macro keys mapped to specific functions within PyCharm like auto-formatting, linting and type checking. It’s helpful because I don’t have to remember key combinations and it means mu

It's definitely noticeable as a newly-adopted Helsinkian. I think I might have seen like 3 people on the street asking for change in the last couple of months. And it's the same 3 people...

I guess the idea is you can scale the app independently of the DB. How do you scale out a single file? (Genuinely curious)

I can tell you what comes next: yet more billionaires and wealth hoarding and still more problems in the world. I guess my point is does the average person struggling to put food on the table really care that a new industry was 'create

I don't think you would (and that would be a terrible idea), more the 'organising' and booking of those maintenance items. I can count more than I'd like to the amount of times I've had double-handling, miscommunica

I’ve never really thought of YouTube as a profitable venture by any measure. More luck-based than anything if you want to actually make money. And the time and effort that goes into it…

A team I worked in would pair program on like 80% of tasks. Sometimes it was laborious (and exhausting) but it meant people could disappear and there would be no knowledge gaps.

Yeah I feel like it wouldn’t be the most ergonomic setup

Having worked on an ingestion pipeline for geospatial data I’d say postgis is more than ok (and possibly an industry leader) for those kinds of queries. There’s other “big data” DB’s like Cassandra or Elastic that can handle GIS data but I’

For managing services themselves I might recommend something like backstage.io but only from what I've heard, and not from personal experience. Only you can know the operations of a service, so if a service had a /docs route (or a

The "get stuff done" factor is why I moved away from bothering to learn Rust a while ago

Can you elaborate on why?

Elixir is a lot of fun and really makes you think (coming from an imperative lang). It's also got great tooling, readable docs and plenty of resources out there. Dave Thomas' book is nice[1] [1] https://www.amazon.com.a

Does that mean it should just report 100% confidence on every line of code?

It seems a bit ... dead itself. There's a few issues there that haven't really been addressed in a long time. Definitely a cool idea though, but a little underwhelming when all it found for me was a bunch of unused variables (the

I bought a metric shiteload of books. Basically just climbed down the Amazon suggestions rabbit hole and got a heap of technical books that matched what I wanted to learn.

It’s in-person but now a mix. That’s interesting because I think after a few months into the pandemic while being totally remote, I noticed an increase in confrontational behaviour... I wonder if that disconnect means it’s easier to forget
