I was so relieved to never need VM’s again after discovering Docker.
Hey, you are actually double booked for the n
th meeting for annual “Goals” that’s coming up!
The misconception that we’re the person to go to to fix your printer…
…I mean we probably can fix it, but it’s a waste of our time…
I’m not crazy about Google’s part in Go, but man, I’ve been using Go a lot and I love it. It feels like a “modern C” that lets you focus on logic instead of memory allocation. I know it violates your requirements, but I’d suggest checking it out anyway! 🤷♂️
I feel your pain. I once worked at a place that hired an “expert” as a senior dev who asked me on the first day, “what is this import
on the first line of this code??? I’ve never seen this before. 🤔” They were unfamiliar with the concept of packages and importing them… Senior dev, hired specifically because they were an expert in a specific language…
They’d call me upwards of 12 times a day for help with the most basic of tasks with anything technical, to include how to install the basic runtime to be able to run code in that language.
(I’m speaking quasi cryptically on purpose.)
Ah okay- fair!
Not sure why downvoted. HTMX does seem to be becoming popular. I prefer the simplicity of it.
Python, and dynamically typed languages in general, are known as being great for beginners. However, I feel that while they’re fun for beginners, they should only be used if you really know what you’re doing, as the code can get messy real fast without some guard rails in place (static typing being a big one).
Degrees are meaningless
my own CS degree taught me almost nothing
I think you meant that your degree was meaningless?
If this language feature is annoying to you, you are the problem. You 👏are 👏 the 👏 reason 👏 it 👏 exists.
I worked in places where the developers loaded their code full of unused variables and dead code. It costs a lot of time reasoning about it during pull request and it costs a lot of time arguing with coworkers who swear that they’re going to need that code in there next week (they never need that code).
This is a very attractive feature for a programming language in my opinion.
PS: I’m still denying your pull request if you try to comment the code instead.
❗️EDIT: A lot of y’all have never been to programming hell and it shows. 🪖 I’m telling you, I’ve fixed bayonets in the trenches of dynamically typed Python, I’ve braved the rice paddies of CICD YAML mines, I’ve queried alongside SQL Team Six; I’ve seen things in production, things you’ll probably never see… things you should never see. It’s easy to be against an opinionated compiler having such a feature, but when you watch a prod deployment blow up on a Friday afternoon without an easy option to rollback AND hours later you find the bug after you were stalled by dead code, it changes you. Then… then you start to appreciate opinionated features like this one. 🫡
Damn, this meme slaps so hard. I didn’t chase any friends down there, but I thought it sounded like a secret nerd club that I wanted to be a part of. Using Linux is a part of my daily life now, professionally and personally, 10 years later.
….I’ve been using :wq for years…
I’m in this boat. I just want to see lemmy succeed as a legit Reddit alternative.
Edit: WefWef has made me feel right at home, coming from the Apollo app. If you haven’t tried it, check it out! (https://wefwef.app)
Ever wonder about reasons to think we are not living in a simulation?
I just tried it out today and wow- it starts up instantly. Now I’m curious to see the resource usage compared to Docker Desktop.
What are the reasons one wouldn’t count ChromeOS? I guess I don’t know much about it, is it somehow “less Linux” than your run of the mill Ubuntu/Debian, Arch, openSUSE, etc?
