Good to hear the gripes with AirPods are identical to my $80 earpods, nothing missed out on in other words :-). Edit: I have a pair of JBL LIVE300TWS. They're good!

>The goal of most IDEs seems to be first help with a debugger / executing code/tests, second help with writing code, and only thirdly help with reading code. The older I get, the more those priorities seem inverted to me. I&#x2

How quickly do you guys whip out the debugger when you encounter a bug? I often can figure it out by reading the code (I'm the quickest jump-to-source in the wild west!) quicker than I can from inserting print stmts or hooking up a deb

It took a very long time for the Swedish FHM to say that masks work, so I don't know why everyone assumes that the rest lied to prevent a mask shortage.

It's been a long time since I was hyped about something in programming! Very cool, I really want to try OCaml now.

Nah, I was straight out of uni so taken on as a junior by the company and then given a raise as they didn't consider me junior after having me work there for 8 months or so. The union is probably involved in standard pay levels, but no

Eh, I'm unionized and had a 13% pay raise. To be fair, they motivated that by saying that I should get up to speed with other engineer's raises instead of staying at a junior level (yes, I'm bragging).

It's not a hack, it's the natural way of expressing it in the chosen type system. The use cases for interface{} are often hacks, because of a lack of parametric polymorphism, but that's different.

>language features will for sure limit the optimizations a compiler/interpreter can do For example: Common Lisp has a full numerical tower, meaning it will automatically convert fixed size numbers into bignums (and more cool stuff).

This isn't unique to event sourcing, I definitely took the opportunity to soapbox.

The big issue, to me, with concepts such as event sourcing is that they are fundamentally presented as software engineering concepts. You get a nice picture showcasing the overall structure and a story or two of how succesful this is, but w
