I always think it’s nuts Elixir was a small project Valim was working on that I tried to get some open source points for helping on in high school, and fast forward several years and I own books on it now. Wish I had something more meaningful still left in the codebase. I initially found Erlang/OTP a year or two before, printing out the pragmatic prog book in its entirety. It’s amazing how far the project has come.

>You can document your code. You can keep it up to date. It isn't that hard. You just don't want to.

YES

I always think self taught is a better pathway. You gain more experience making mistakes and learning from them that way. You also pick up more “best practices” by learning how shitty your bad practices of the past were.

Which of those helps day to day? I’m always going to say the latter lol

I got one too and reported it as well. I called the number in the email wondering, trying to figure out scam or legit account compromised. The person who answered initially started saying answer as some other company, debt collection I believe, then corrected to PayPal. To resolve it and report the claim he asked what operating system and browser I used and instructed me to download a Remote Desktop app, which I found fishy and tipped me off it’s definitely phishing. I didn’t say much while I searched the number/figured out if it was common and the guy on the phone got angry yelling “hello??” Several times. I hung up and they called back twice.

I wish I kept the number to call them back and piss them off. Scammers/phishers are soulless entities of this earth.

I’d even say terrible for those who have no experience working remote; you’re entirely right in that it requires discipline. During the pandemic at my old company we had the IT/software department I worked in, and the auditing department. IT had no issues with complete remote having the prior experience and if anything productivity doubled. The auditing department struggled and was forced back in office as soon as possible.

Sounds like an idea for a kids book, “The Haunted Calculator”

7-Zip for windows is always something I go for on a fresh install. Then I also have rar support. But screw rar.

Also on a fresh install I install WSL, so tar is always available that way too.

That was one of my favorite bands as a kid, looooved All's Well That Ends Well.

Java is moving in a much better direction compared to when Kotlin first came around.

I find these people pathetic. An existence of Entitlement has no bounds.

I like how you said using containers, similar to how CI servers tend to be configured.
