I could but I’d still be getting the same Firefox which has a nagging incentive to cooperate with advertisers and google. The benefit of having to pay for software is that their revenue stream comes directly from me and not from a 3rd party. It’s not about supporting the developer for me, it’s about knowing that the product I pay for is the product I get

If its an application I run locally, I rarely grep logs (they’re small enough that I can just ctrl+f). If it’s something running in production with millions of lines of logs, then I agree

I wish all the logs at my company were as beautiful as these terminal logs

Sure, look at their personal projects. I’m just saying the maintainability and quality of the code and speed of iteration is more of the point than how impressive the math is behind an ML algorithm. I’ve just seen a lot of ML engineers/data scientists who really suck at writing maintainable code

I got a simple Casio for my birthday and I don’t think I’ll ever need another watch, unless I lose this one. People say “oh it tracks how many steps I took today”, but I don’t know why I would need to know that information

I know I’m in the minority but I would pay yearly to use Firefox. Not sure how much I’d pay, but I am getting into the habit of purchasing software instead of allowing it to purchase me

I honestly don’t think that doing these cool things improves your odds of getting hired. Junior Devs don’t really touch these parts of a platform, let alone lead development on them from scratch.

A valuable engineer, to me, is someone who writes clean, maintainable code and follows common patterns. That’s also something which has to be learned by trial and error to actually see the value of.

I literally have no clue what the point of these devices is

Gross

Yes (Chad face)

Engineer Syndrome. You get mildly good enough at writing Javascript to sell a product and then assume that means you can fix all of society’s problems

Yeah but then you either need to compile and redistribute binaries for several platforms, or make sure that each target user has rust/cargo installed. Plus some devs don’t trust compiled binaries in something like an npm package

You haven’t used windows in like 30 years? It’s quite different now lol

Most common development platform in the world

I try to write things to be cross-platform; with node builds, I avoid anything using shell scripting so that we can support Windows builds as well. As such, I usually write the deployment scripts in Node itself, but sometimes python if it’s supported by our particular CI/CD pipeline

Terrible website with some legitimately hilarious but completely unironic posts from what I can only surmise are the human equivalent of NPCs. Still, I don’t spend all day reading LinkedIn crap, I just use it to communicate with recruiters. Has been useful in my career but the social aspect of it is hilarious

Fuck:

• Meta
• Google
• Amazon
• TikTok
• Reddit

And all the tech douchebags who created them. Apple and Microsoft aren’t included here because they’re not running websites that rot our fucking brains, I think

I am of the opinion that production software shouldn’t be written in shell languages. If it’s something which needs to be redistributed, I would write it in python or something

Unironically love powershell
