this comment made me feel the draw of dillusional thought, it felt good to read those fake headlines and I didn’t want it to stop

ok then just use salt water. You’re welcome nerds!

when worlds collide

a dev can build a thing, an engineer can build a distributed modular thing with more complexity around non programming parts like infrastructure. Take the thing and design a machine of parts and each can be maintained, observed, and optimized as needed. For example we can use topics for backpressure and consumer lag for auto scaling pods, but then you have to consider the distributed processing for duplication, out of order, throughput… there is no exact line in the sand between dev and engineer but that’s how I think of it.

lots of tutorials in different languages, a base project that you start to rewrite over and over forever whenever you aren’t motivated to do something else. write scripts to start new projects with a readme, git, a logger, and a unit test or two. You should be able to run a command to have a new working project ready to test any new library or idea. don’t be afraid to write code and not use it. writing is the point itself.

finally no more fucks to give to anything

SQL scouts credo: I will never use indexes, I will always use column names.

thanks for the links and info. I use brave as well as firefox and other browsers depending on what device I’m using. The spyware link is worth a quick read to understand any risks. It’s great to see some analysis done there. I actually feel a little better about brave now, I’m ok with those risks for most cases and brave blocks ads better for me than what I’ve seen in other browsers. I’m always willing to switch though, I have no loyalty to any browser.

disk is cheap and it’s easier to test exact versions of dependencies. As a user I’d rather not have all my non OS stuff mixed up.

feels like I’m up voting them, close enough I guess
