I based this on the intuition witnessing his incompetence managing Twitter. For a great engineer, he certainly lacks awareness that I attribute to either ignorance or being more accustomed to handling things in abstract - not in practice.

All right sir. You seem to hold a strong opinion about the subject, i do not. I find it funny rebuting me by using term mental gymnastics but i find this debate fruitless to pursue. A speculating outsider on interwebz. Okay. Sure.

Well, it seems the conclusion is like in the old joke. "Doctor it hurts when i do this." "Stop doing that." Just my outside perspective. I've had headaches as well from intense coding but those came from overexposur

It sounds your brains need some serious rewiring. I wouldnt worry about coding or focusing intensely at anything, just start exercising, doing hobbies and hanging around / making friends. Maybe a job that is more hands-on. You need to

Tom seems brilliant but I wouldn't refute my argument based on a single datapoint. I've seen non-technical managers being able to hold conversations and make insightful comments having been around engineers for so long. A little b

From what I understood SpaceX was founded by some brilliant engineers and Elon just became the poster boy with no actual engineering credentials. Undoubtedly he is business-savvy but it seems not that surprising managers who take credit for

It's a good and an obvious feature to implement. Probably will save time but I can't but wonder how useful the tasks are in the first place when an AI can do them. Generating a PowerPoint presentation from general observations abo

If you have three lines that practically look the same, they should be the same character. Otherwise, interesting read!

For one you don't have to write an arbitrary key={item.id}. What if you don't have a unique ID? And even if you do, it's just busywork. Then, what about conditionals? Or slots? Or classNames instead of classes? The saving gra

Well say what you want but imo there's just a huge wealth transfer going on with companies hitting record profits and US, and other countries, suffering from homelessness, poor education and overall worse financial outlook than it was

Hah hah. Good for you being able to recover. Got permanent tinnnitus from one mistake on not wearing hearing protection once when cutting stone table and i was hoovering the dust. Good thing is, you get used to it. Whatever you thought tota

Been using Dart & Flutter. Kinda leaning towards using plain old HTML & CSS inside a webview instead of learning how to work with mobile-specific widgets. Neither won't beat pure-native but at least I'd be able to make a h

No, Americans are being ripped off. I can buy 15 large eggs for about 3€ in Finland. How come one of the highest taxed countries can have lower price per egg than the land of the free and brave? We haven't invented a special recipe for

Heh heh, well maybe in some cases but since TS/JS is kinda the lowest common denominator in web development, it's just the most convenient choice. We humans are limited in our capacity to learn and take time to get good at things.

Pick a problem, not a tool first. Unless you're more interested in the tool than the problem, then it's fine. I don't love Rust, but I can get by. TS+NodeJS is okay. But I'm more interested in the problems that I'm

I think this is somewhat American thing where CEOs are paid hundreds of times more than regular employee. Certainly, you'd expect the board to fire the CEO who can't perform. It's just if both the board and the CEO are cozied

Okay I guess I should provide more details. Constructor syntax fine? Jesus how come you can't use the constructor parameters as the default values but have to either resort to using `late` or that weird `: {}` after constructor like in

To me as someone who recently got into Flutter to make a side-project (mobile game) the most glaring problem isn't the lack of ecosystem or little UI issues the author mentions but the language itself. You had a green field to make the

Love Svelte but well, raw DOM manipulation isn't fast either. I have a recursive Svelte tree component which, as I collapse node's contents, destroys all of its children. Which is fine with small trees but once they get big there&

You could do that but many of the minor stylings might not warrant a component, like a specific hover effect. For quick prototyping though it just is way more convenient to not to constantly break apart small html snippets into their own co

Hah hah. You make me laugh. Sure boss, not much. If you're doing it for fun and on your own time, okay. For real work, don't know who wants to pay you to invent your own framework.
