Oh yeah, please do imagine there is no such thing as a time zone.

On an ellipsoid!

As we all know, siphoning of the power to the small percentage of people had never happened prior to capitalism.

“Huh, I wonder” has been driving general scientific progress and heart failures in engineering since forever.

In the dark, with the other side obscured (or just broken), you don’t want the blinker to actively prompt you to come to a wrong conclusion.

It’s better to see a blinking light and think “I don’t see enough, gotta slow down” than see a blinking arrow and potentially not even realize it’s a turn signal.

I’m giggling like a kid that finally got the candy from the top drawer. It’s beautiful.

If you push tickets - software developer at best.

If you iteratively solve problems by learning, building models, and trying hard to break said models until a sufficiently robust one remains - welcome to engineering.

actual infrastructure for micromobility

Right, because Amsterdam, as we all know, is such a shithole in that regard.

You’re the obsessed one in this case.

Welcome to the world of SPAs. Where every little thing needs its own application.

Damn it, we even have HTML tags that are impossible to employ in their entirety without use of JavaScript. <dialog> is infuriating and is literally two attributes away from not needing JavaScript.

Except on Chrome. Dialog is broken on Chrome and you will have to clean up with JavaScript after chrome’s own half assed implementation.

If you’re a software engineer, you’re applying an engineering process to the field of software development. Adding a shopping cart to a blog can be a perfectly sound solution to the problem at hand.

Engineering becomes more important at scale, but scale itself doesn’t define engineering.

Don’t learn Elixir to replace Ruby. Learn it to enjoy OTP and BEAM.

I would love to join a cool company that’s willing to accept a dev that can transition fast. However, most of Elixir job listings I find are gambling or crypto. And I ain’t gonna touch those.

On the other hand, if it works in Firefox, it’s likely to work everywhere else.

I use Firefox for development and then, barring some weird chrome bug, things just work everywhere.

When people say “pointers are hard”, they mean “I have no idea where the star goes and now an ampersand is also implicated”.

Don’t discriminate. Many men want a guy that can provide too.

psychometric evaluation

Ah, the “I can’t justify my existence, so I’ll point at the machine” HR starting kit.

Remember, proprietary research is not science. And proprietary research is what these psychometric tests are based on, at best.

I mean, Comic Code is pretty damn good.

Problem is, you’re mixing a number of different concepts into a nonsensical claim.

Exec as an “execute a string as a language instructions” is nothing new nor unique to PHP. Ruby on Rails, for example, uses it in a controlled manner to generate methods on ActiveRecord models.

Exec as an “replace this process with another process” is old news again. It’s not even language specific.

Popen/spawn family (which seems to be what you alluded to) is, once again, nothing new and is used everywhere.

other languages/ stacks shy away from exec

I’m sorry, what?

Who let my conscience post online?

Nano is for those that occasionally edit text files from a terminal.

Vim is for those who make a living out of it.
