Your wishes don't come true from shooting stars, they come true from shooting tsars

death by specificity is a thing...
HTTPServletRequest has a fuckton of methods but 90% of them could be eliminated if one treated the data as a simple fucking map instead of creating 4 methods for each key in every record of your schemas.

SHOULD'VE USED OPENBSD LMAO

don't use Google, problem solved

simple is often the opposite of easy

you can do so much more to defeat the reactionaries by visiting:

• a gym
• a shooting range
• a library
• your local revolutionary organization's meeting

than a polling station

Vue.js, it's the simplest of the popular frontend frameworks

You can learn a hellton about sysadmin and DevOps by running a home lab and aiding that with some courses and maybe one cert or two but I wouldn't splurge on certs that readily.

Golang, Express.js, Nest, Flask, SQL (a must), maybe Spark if you dare. Any popular and expressive framework/language for full stack/backend, except for Rails and PHP, those are dying technologies despite their still relatively high popularity in some countries.

Maybe Flutter, Swift or React Native if you want to get into mobile dev.

Just go to a job board, then to learnxinyminutes.com, pick something and start with building small, then medium sized, then maybe more complex projects or contributing to FLOSS written using your tech of interest (but please, PLEASE don''t treat OSS contributions primarily as a way to get a job. Pick something you use instead. Try to figure out how you would implement something, do that and don't let the impostor syndrome win if it uses a tech you're familiar with whenever you want to open an issue on a git forge.

20 years ago 32-bit systems, CRT monitors, dial-up modems, single core processors or HDDs with most people having 160 GB of storage at most were common. And laptop battery life and thermal performance was just ridiculous in most cases.

Moore's law is mostly dead for commercial crap, i.e. JS-heavy 3rd party spyware filled websites with comparably slow and costly backends and Electron/React Native bloat on desktop/mobile, because shorter time to market and thus paying the devs less is often much cheaper for a lot of companies.

I'd argue free software luckily proves this theorem wrong. There are still a lot of actively maintained, popular programs in C and C++ and a lot of newer ones written in Rust, Dart or Go.

I live in a city with a severe smog problem. Throughout 2020 and 2021 things got better. Then of course there was energy crisis, but traffic actually got so terrible that so did the air, with pollution levels not seen in 5-6 years. It's literally a silent assault.

This is Bill.

Bill doesn't need to minify his code, he names things using a single character even in compiled languages.

Bill is a heckin chad who can guess what the code does merely by looking at types and control flow.

Be like Bill
