What’s the difference between a script-kiddy and a real #developernotesfollow? Abstraction. You can program your whole life without learning how to meaningfully abstract problems into simpler pieces that TRULY make the problem easier to understand. I’m not talking about design patterns or #OOPnotesfollow vs #FPnotesfollow. These tools can help. But to really simplify something for others, you need an intellectual empathy that many simply never figure out.

while we wait for this to be true we could add our bits together remember to not sleep forever return when your dreams are through Start with cringy poem, end with cringy pseudocode. At least it comes naturally.

My son's new class doesn't have a Smith, Johnson, or Williams. It's the Hughes kid who breaks in at #96Name CensusUS Last Names · Popularity, Meanings & Census DataEvery US last name from the Census Bureau surname files, ranked by prevalence.. I expect these kids with strong stage names to have pants and personalities to match.

Anyone on here fed up with their investment advisor? Interested to hear your frustrations. #personalfinancenotesfollow

Trying tsoding/tatr idea for task tracking in the project. Instead of his C implementation asked CC to implement tatr.el. I do similar thing with vulpea, even my org notes have timestamp ids. Tatr tasks live in the repo, which is good.

Is there anybody writing spanish here?

I got jumpscared by the moon rising because it’s visible from where I’m sitting and it’s huge.

If there's an audience, I can write about the real China beyond the spotlight

Looks like I am user #482

Finally watched Project Hail Mary. Easily one of my top 5 favourite films but it’s still not nearly as good as the book — I feel like the cut some pretty important scenes

Team vim, team emacs, or team “my editor doesn’t start wars”? One line, no essays. Go!

Unliking an little-known song on Spotify and ceremoniously saying final goodbyes, knowing you'll likely never hear it again in your life

I'm going to attempt to build a take on a board game I loved, from 1989, MBT, by Avalon Hill. Watch me face plant. Starting by trying to understand hex math.

While learning jj, I realize how Git habituated me into being ok with its unique jargon and prickly command line interface. Unlearning Git is refreshing.

hey guys ☺️

I hate crawlers that don’t advertise they’re crawlers. ’n badly written. They don’t respect the canonical URLs so they keep getting themselves into a loop instead of actually crawling the site properly. They make the logs really hard to read. Can’t block them they’re distributed.

I find myself building bespoke tooling for my own #swdevnotesfollow and #ainotesfollow workflows these days, not only because of the obvious reason of software being so much cheaper to build, but also because there are SO MANY options for solving any given problem that it feels impossible to evaluate all of them. If it's not a crucial piece of tech for a work problem then it often feels like paving my own way is both cheaper mentally (kind of amazing that's true these days) and probably a better fit.
