Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • What is your favourite video game quote?

  • WC3 or the expansion originally

  • Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics

    Jump

  • Damn, if only we had some bill that would increase manufacturing of chips domestically. It would be foolish to cancel such a bill while also creating a tariff. How will people favor domestic manufacturing without that manufacturing existing? Surely the president would never do that.

  • In all seriousness they're probably just making sure you don't have some sort of problem. The water company typically does this to make sure you don't have an unexpected leak.

  • Could be, that's another channel I watch often. I might be getting some of Smarter Everyday's other nature oriented videos confused because I don't think Standup Maths does many.

  • Use Codium instead of VS Code. VS Code is fauxpen source.

  • Just like "real" CEOs have to answer to shareholders.

  • My honest take, it's a bubble. Everyone sees the (seemingly) impressive things people do with AI and ask "why can't you do that?"

  • You can with some caveats. It has to be stuff like configs or a project you intend to make FOSS later.

    I've never had a job check my GitHub, but I could give Codeberg too.

  • Yeah! And, I don't even necessarily mean to discount ignoring indigenous folks, which definitely can be a thing, but it really really does come down to sometimes folks just don't write it down. I've seen a video (I wanna say a Smarter Everyday video) where they were in some South American jungle/rain forest or whatever and they very casually shine a light at a cloth to get moths to land on it, and they found like one or two new species.

  • I'm a contractor and have to periodically take tests to acknowledge I read handbooks (like everyone does) and it always tells me to download the handbook from the HR site, but when I go there it won't let me because I'm a contractor.

  • My skill prevents bugs, unlike your fancy compiler, peasant.

    Jump

  • I can sympathize with some people getting tired of "rewrite it in Rust", especially when it's suggested inappropriately. (Worst I saw was an issue opened on something, maybe a database, I don't remember. Someone said they were a new programmer and wanted to help and only knew a little Rust and that if the project was rewritten in Rust they could help.) But... Rust's compiler being able to do those things is actually super useful and amazing. This is like someone saying they don't need static types because they know the language good enough to not misuse the dynamic types. This is like someone saying they don't need C because they're good at assembly.

    While it isn't something as simple as Rust being strictly better than C/C++, it's really silly to say that you being a good developer means you don't need guardrails. Everybody makes mistakes all the time. You're not perfect.
