I'm glad you posted this. I haven't seen it here (or anywhere else) before, and it was a fun read.

Oh, I'm not saying that she didn't do a great thing.

Have you ever spent years of your life tied up in litigation?

It's not fun. It's very frustrating, to feel as though a resolution will never happen. It feels indeterminate; indefinite.

It's a shame that she should have to spend twelve years of her life pursuing justice. What about the thousands or millions that simply won't try, because they can't rationalize the effort?

Jobs Georg, who has changed jobs 10,000 times in the last three years, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Let's be real for a moment; you wouldn't be getting a true vintage mobile computing experience if you weren't tethered to an electrical socket!

I just cannot imagine a future in which I ever want to strap a screen to my face.

I'm not speaking for anyone else here… But I simply cannot imagine an upside.

I just picked up a Surface Laptop 5. Much like the Surface Laptop 3 and 2 that I had before it, it is a best-in-class piece of hardware.

I actually prefer its form factor to my M1 MBP; it's thinner, lighter, and I prefer a 3:2 display to 16:10. It runs 3x4k + 1x1080p over a single Thunderbolt cable into a dock (granted, I am using a USB 3.0 to dual DisplayPort adapter, but the SL5 is driving 2 of the 4k displays.)

I still use my M1 MBP for most things, and I have one for my job, as well; but the SL5 may be the nicest physical laptop hardware available today.

(Windows is another story. If I could run Linux on it with no compromises and no hassle, I'd likely ditch the Mac. So it goes.)

Okay but - and I can't believe that I actually have to say this - it is pretty clear that they _haven't_.

When you cut off a human's appendage, the screaming comes from a voice. The voice comes from a sort of... consciousness. Which while we haven't exactly nailed down what makes one up, we are reasonably certain that it involves a nervous system.

In short: don't talk about it, be about it.

It's unfortunate that the current state of affairs in software engineering is that if someone doesn't merge a bugfix PR immediately, rumors of its death begin to circle.

A quick glance at the Elm Discourse or Elm Slack will surface that our community and culture is alive, well, and growing.

Evan continues to quietly work on vnext, and is presenting at Goto Aarhus in May.

I'm not interested in changing your mind in particular, and I do not wish to argue; I am merely posting this for the benefit of anyone that should see your comment.

Sometimes, shipping fast and bouncing approaches all over the place is not, as it happens, the most sane and sustainable way to create lasting software. You and others can continue along doing that; we will continue to ship our hundreds-of-thousands-of-lines-of-code Elm frontend.

Sometimes I Cmd+F "elm", but only on days where I feel like picking a fight.

You can learn Elm. All twelve of us will help you.

It's far from being "the standard language for the browser", but the browser doesn't know that.

Expressions that aren't required to return a value for all possible branches of execution that can also mutate state considered harmful.

... I got excited when I saw this because I thought it might be an interactive tutorial about lenses and optics in Haskell.
