Masochist? that's much more sane than the js clusterfuck ecosystem

it's kinda funny that whole noise about parenthesis. For a experienced Lisper parenthesis are so meaningless that can be ignored by reading good indented code, however... for a newbie, the amount of parenthesis can be a real nightmare. All that can just be properly solved by using a decent editor that support good parenthesis edition... like emacs. Truly funny. I've been on this community for more than 10 years and always the same thing.

I've been told that Ruby was the slowest language of the universe, much more than Python. That's interesting challenge!

I like to build from scratch, but I prefer maintain something on top of something. Less code to maintain since I can delegate part of my code to the technology built on top of it.

In that matters, for my professional work have a healthy long term life, I usually select on-top development style, and sometimes, if I have really good reasons to do, from scratch is the option. Of course, for learning and personal projects, from scratch is always a very fun choice!

Yes, just like this. Since 2015 when I started work professionally with python, after each year, a new project shows some kind of "messiah complex" around the python distributing software problem... They usually say in some part of the readme: "That time we will be saved! We have the right tool here that does this and that".

No, it's not solved! And probably will not be solved neither.

Obviously, things get better honestly, 2015 was far worst than now, but currently it's very far from perfect.

For instance, go static build are much superior. Or even Rust, with all the language issues, at least the tooling is good and the software distribution works great.

same case here. almost new guy on my team we need to train them because basically just know to use what vs code exposes as git interface and some of them can replicate the same flow on terminal. rebase? that's a forbidden command for them, while our entire company use this as daily basis.

that just kinda sad. hopeless.

I think it's a reasoning like "math is fun", but for some people math is useless until become useful in some sense. Programming is something similar in that regard.

For the problems I like, programming is fun, for those I don't like, I prefer only get shit done too (like part of my job).

New comment by lerax in "Cheerful chatbots don’t necessarily improve customer service"

lerax — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 09:45:51 +0000

actually, chatbots may reduce costs and time of support for companies, but in the user perspective it's a mess. bots usually can do what it's available easily in the platform, but if I am talking to support it's because the problem did go bad so hard that I need a HUMAN in support to solve my problem.

so... chatbots are a shield which companies use to protect your support team for high demand while users like me try need to destroy the shield to get what I want.

it's at least a conflict of interest.

Too much brain for so bad purpose. I am glad that Carmack makes his move to go forward. He is a brilliant programmer.
