Engineer Syndrome. You get mildly good enough at writing Javascript to sell a product and then assume that means you can fix all of society’s problems

Yeah but then you either need to compile and redistribute binaries for several platforms, or make sure that each target user has rust/cargo installed. Plus some devs don’t trust compiled binaries in something like an npm package

You haven’t used windows in like 30 years? It’s quite different now lol

Most common development platform in the world

I try to write things to be cross-platform; with node builds, I avoid anything using shell scripting so that we can support Windows builds as well. As such, I usually write the deployment scripts in Node itself, but sometimes python if it’s supported by our particular CI/CD pipeline

Terrible website with some legitimately hilarious but completely unironic posts from what I can only surmise are the human equivalent of NPCs. Still, I don’t spend all day reading LinkedIn crap, I just use it to communicate with recruiters. Has been useful in my career but the social aspect of it is hilarious

Fuck:

• Meta
• Google
• Amazon
• TikTok
• Reddit

And all the tech douchebags who created them. Apple and Microsoft aren’t included here because they’re not running websites that rot our fucking brains, I think

I am of the opinion that production software shouldn’t be written in shell languages. If it’s something which needs to be redistributed, I would write it in python or something

Unironically love powershell

Because it’s made out of cheese. Legally if you take something that is cheese and use it as an ingredient in another food, then it is no longer “cheese”, it is “cheese food”. The first ingredient is cheddar

The internet peaked in utility around 2004. Most, if not all, developments since then have only made things worse

Who gives a fuck what Sergey brin thinks

Waterfox’s creator, while not being HOSTILE to privacy, has said in the past that making the most private browser in the world is not the goal of the project. The goal is a more customizable browser for power users

It’s alright. I work with it every day and constantly wish it had RTTI

SMS is a pain in the ass. iOS users aren’t using SMS, they’re using a proprietary system which is inaccessible to android users. Occasionally a 1-on-1 text works with RCS but it’s janky

I used it for boilerplate work. Like if I need to write a model in typescript with a ton of class-validator annotations, it’s pretty good at filling those in

Never again will I make the mistake of using a “free” product from big tech

Would like to get my family on Signal. I deleted my facebook account and now we use various other chat apps that I don’t quite like
