had a good idea and wrote a good book

I read the book after asking some junior engineers why they kept insisting on breaking straightforward tasks that could be a single pure function into a web of stateful method calls and learned they were being recommended it by another senior dev.

That book is one of the major contributors to the object oriented enterprise Java from the 90s that everyone universally loathes.

I personally think this discussion is probably the greatest thing he had contributed to software engineering, and not because it puts him in a positive light. https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md

The quote is from the founder of hashicorp and is fairly influential. Choosing to let his also influential friends ruin people's lives instead of publicly speaking the truth makes him an asshole. Chances are you and your ex-lover are not influential so I don't give a fuck what you do.

I liked heliboard. It doesn't require network access, has gesture typing that works well, though you have to manually add the library, lots of configuration, and some stuff I use all the time like slide on delete to choose how much to delete and slide on space to move cursor.

Basically it is both private and a pleasure to use (after configuring)

You're agreeing with the comment you replied to. Why the fuck are you trying to be so smug???

Get fucked Atlus. I'm not sure I have an appetite to load windows to use these but I'd have bought every game by Atlus on release like I did up until I decided I'd rather skip the ps5 and stick with PC but instead I've bought one of them (persona 4 ultimax which I didn't realize had it until now)

OCI has a very generous free tier that doesn't even require credit card info. While for instance AWS has a free tier, the resources that are free are mostly the serverless stuff that only applies to their ecosystem, whereas OCI lets you use a significant amount of VM compute and even a decent amount of block storage. You can do a lot with it without ever paying a cent or having to learn OCI specific tech

Would you look up something if you didn't suspect it was anything more than a random skull and crossbones? Why do you think people told him it was a nazi thing? I dunno this actually seems like a totally feasible story to me, especially when you see how shitty the thing looks.

People are acting like this is a well known symbol but I didn't know it nor has anyone in real life I've talked to about this

The joke exists because there are people out there that do feel shame for their body,

Yeah. Because society is body shaming them. Like in this comic. It's baffling to me that people are so attached to their small dick jokes they'll do these mental gymnastics to try to assert it's not body shaming. If you want to be an asshole at least be honest and own it.

I know what I’m doing

I don't believe you

Did you try it?

Yes I did.

1. Writing code isn't actually the majority of software engineering unlike what naive people believe.
2. Most of the code I write isn't boilerplate for new projects because I actually work on real software that people use.
3. It's not faster to review code written by a moron (artificial or otherwise) than to just fucking write it.

TS is compiled to JS, so the JS interpreter isn't privy to the type information. TS is basically a robust static analysis tool

In my experience, for developers, actual productivity is inversely correlated to AI usage espousal. I straight up had an extremely mid developer tell our CFO (who has no business scheduling meetings about AI with devs in the first place) that AI made them 10x as productive. This of course is complete bullshit, and of course it got the CFO salivating. All of this is madness

Why do you make the conscious decision to not eat meat/animal products?

Simply, I don't need them and I don't feel it is right to contribute to climate change/ecosystem destruction/animal cruelty for my own convenience

Do you have negative feelings towards those who raise their own animals for food, such as those who raise chickens for eggs or cattle for milk, and otherwise treat the animals ethically?

There are still downsides to small agriculture such as sustainability and food production per resource usage. To directly answer the question, I don't have negative feelings towards anyone based solely on their diet. I have negative feelings towards the animal ag industries which deliberately hide information, lie about reality, and lobby the government to deceive people into not understanding the consequences or reality of their decisions. I also don't think positive change has to be all or nothing. Even just doing Meatless Monday has a positive impact, and making perfect the enemy of good just slows progress.

When did you choose to switch to a vegan lifestyle, what (if any) was the “catalyst”?

For a long time I ate vegan at home but would go to restaurants without anything I felt I could ethically eat in order to get along with people. I remember very distinctly the last time I ate meat at a restaurant and thinking "enough is enough"

What are some challenges that you have dealt with when it comes to this lifestyle?

I have missed out on social occasions and friends I otherwise would have enjoyed because they thought accommodating me when choosing restaurants was too burdensome.

Why do you believe there is a continued stigma around veganism in many physical/internet communities?

It is not only diet. People are jerks to anyone that lives differently than them that they think they can get away with being jerks to. Basically it is acceptable to be jerks to vegans, therefore people are. Someday that will change, probably.
