I've learned to dislike Slack as my career takes me to larger teams. It's great for discovery (think internal Stack Overflow for eng roles), but terrible at maintaining context on a specific "project thread". The argumen

This. Stripe's overengineered, custom Ctrl+F is unusable on Firefox. they could've just put a search bar for their own "search" feature instead of breaking the Ctrl+F browser convention that we're so familiar with.

Well, one might grok C++ with the same perspective the author had, but I think C++, and especially C++17, make the language much safer and friendlier for beginners. C++17 for example is a big enough departure from pre C++11 days. If you sti

Another way to think of this is that the debugger is a tool, just like other familiar tools such as tcpdump, ping, traceroute, nslookup, nc (netcat) etc. Choosing the right tool for the right observations to make progress in squashing said
