This is a hilarious comment because windows ignored the developer experience for YEARS with its horrible command line experience. Windows was a regression. Linux/unix, which powers the world by the way, is where it is at regardless of how old its foundations are.

I found the person who doesn't have kids.

Nothing about helping someone better understand something is cheating. Helping your own child? That is just natural. I find what you said revolting.

This kid has plenty of time to dive into other languages. C is a great choice.

Paywalled so I will not attempt to read but the first little bit... Just makes me imagine what it must be like to be one of these elite engineer types at insanely luxurious parties talking to "experts" all day long and I have to take a hard look in the mirror and wonder why my life is such ... s***.

You make it sound so ... unaccomplished ... to just reach out and get a high paying "easy" job. Do they exist?

I have yet to find an "easy" high paying job. I've been stuck in the $50K~75K range my entire 17 year career. So maybe realize for a split second that there are many, many people making much less, experiencing much worse.

Is this what passes for an article about metaprogramming in ruby?

Using send is extremely common especially when mocking private methods in rspec. I guess I am speaking from a rails lense, but what other lense is there for ruby development?

I am forever stuck in a world where "articles" aren't something you read in less than a minute.

Now that lsp is a first class citizen in neovim is very usable with little modification.

It will never be a ctrl+p install away from feature X system though. You do have to put some effort in.

Working on codebases - like rails without rubocop - is not something I would like to consider. There is already too much variability in how people code.

Regarding burnout I know individuals in the medical field who wish they could control their schedules by reducing the number of clients per day, but they simply are not allowed to because leadership expects them to turn certain levels of profit.

I use pop os and for some nearly insanity level reason highlighting is VERY janky. It often looses focus, switches the start point, completely becomes unavailable, and generally has nearly driven me to go insane.

Maybe it is my mouse but I kinda doubt it.

This is really beautiful.

I love it. In fact I haven't turned on my PC with the intent to play games since I bought the deck. I highly recommend it particularly if you have a busy schedule and want to be able to jump in and out of a game once in a while.

Self evaluating in this way really can push someone to the next level in a skill they are trying to learn! It seems especially effective when learning an instrument.

The reasons? Racism.

Sounds good to me.
