@MammaNeedHummus As I'm writing this I'm reading chapter 3, this book definitely speaks to me and to my legacy code induced misery

@Root I'm balding too... and it seems to have accelerated after I transitioned to BE

@jestdotty Anxiety for the development environment or for my broken English 😁

@MammaNeedHummus I knew this book but for various reasons (mostly an already gigantic "to read list") but I never bought it, I got the book this morning, I read few pages and now I feel stupid for not reading it before... I skimmed part of it and it seems to cover situations like mine very well

@Demolishun That's a good reason to use "master" too.
Personally after the stupid "main vs master" controversy anytime a tool tried to steer me towards using "main" as the base branch of a project I quickly rename that to "master" just out of spite.

@MammaNeedHummus I'm conflicted on that: on one hand I'd love to leave behind some cringe developments of these last year, on the other I'd definitely miss some things.

@Kernel Same, I'm born in '98 but still feel nostalgic looking at old computers.
If I'll ever get an apartment big enough for a studio I want to put there some classic computer and terminals from the 80s and 90s.

@Lensflare Hopefully they have more critical things to worry about, for example figuring out how to avoud to have one of their main customer bases (kids) stole by publishers which makes F2P stuff like Roblox or asset swap mobile games.

Yuzu devs got legal troubles but they could've avoided that if they didn't offered paid patches for unreleased games.

I'm working on replacement servers for some 3DS games

I prefer to get my information from books but there are some no BS programming YouYubers I like for example Low Level Learning.

Said that unless the topic is lighthearted I tend to steer away from likely clickbaity videos, when on YT I see content like

"Coding is dead"

"This one simple trick will make you much more productive" (obligatory thumbnail with a big green number like +186%)

"Gen Alpha is doomed" (obligatory thumbnail with Skidibi Toilet, TikTok and Fortnite)

I steer away because I know its very likely to be low quality slop

@Demolishun you can even run your server offline, this way it doesn't call back to Mojang

Vite is not a front-end library

NextJS is basically React with battery included

Snappy even on low end hardware, cheap to develop for (no need for a Mac or 1TB of RAM to run woth Android Studio), came with great apps (free Office suite and iffline navigation) and it pioneered many features which competition implemented only later. Windows Phone has all my respect.

@ostream That's a cool compromise 👍👍

@gymmerDeveloper Have you ever seen how farm life actually works? Animal and crops doesn't mnow what PRO is so its far from "unlimited time at your command"

@Lensflare Nowadays I rarely study frameworks but aim at more fundamental stuff like system programming, algorithms, methodologies, design patterns, stuff which doesn't change frequently.

Can't help for the time boundaries but for the other why don't you just use a laptop and put it away once you finished?

Looking at lolcows online and IRL

Medium is an absolute clown town, I miss when self hosting stuff was the standard and content farms weren't a thing.

@iiii I think about two specific retards

DevRant is better off being split in 2 or multiple apps: one for actual devs ranting and another one for culture war bullshit (it doesn't matter if left-wing or right-wing). Oh almost forgot, the second one already exists and its name is Twitter.

Do you work 16 hours/day? If not I don't see the issue on playing for some amount of time even in weekdays.

@msdsk I'm not a defender of capitalism but the current alternatives scares me: communism is cool... until you don't agree on what the leaders have planned for you.

@msdsk Still better than the "eco-communism" that "Extinction Rebellion" guys dreams about.

Fuck these hipster meditation apps, you can meditate with literally nothing and if you need some sounds/music/guidance you can get these for free or for cheap from the Internet. No need for another stupid subscription.

@mansur85 I can say the same for 3.5, one of my first professional projects was to migrate a codebase from 3.5 to Core 2.0 😁

My opinions about the various operating systems are the same as yours but unlike you I was an hardcore Windows fanboy for most of my relatively short life, I even learned OOP, regex and other key programming studying PowerShell. On the other hand the UNIX way of doing things always fascinated me but as a teen without access to actual IT education I always struggled to understand it trough the filters of cluttered Linux distros like Ubuntu.

It took my first job to see how UNIX command line made me more productive and how PowerShell is annoyingly slow and verbose.

Now I'm on macOS for professional reasons but my favorite system remains FreeBSD.

I have a better prompt: why politics and all the division it creates cannot stay on fucking Twitter instead of infecting an online which should be about code and working on IT?

@hjk101 Medium and its tons of clickbait should be nuked from the orbit

@TeachMeCode Personally I tend to distrust any developer which puts "AI" in a laundry list like that. Any script kiddie can learn the basis on how to use an AI library in some hours but unless you have 48 hour days you can't be a real expert in AI and in DevOps and in SEO all together. It's even fan that she put "Git" at the beginning of the laundry list, at this point she could ever put "cd", "cp" and "rm".
