Are you the original author of the article? The article itself seems to be experiencing issues right now, but from what I recall, the author mentions "extensible roles" and "good free tier" as the features that got him to use Discord. I don't consider these features crucial enough to use non-Free Software. If you are not the original author and have other features in mind, please explain which features of Discord are "so incredibly good".

Zed Shaw's books are seriously overrated.

Discord is also proprietary software and is backed by Tencent. Read the privacy policy, it might surprise you.

Please try investing in Free, Open Source alternatives first.

No mention of Smalltalk in the comments? The "codebase" that is managed by ucm sounds very similar to Smalltalk images. I am personally delighted about this.

Seems like the site is suffering from the Slashdot effect.

I had to do a double take when I saw it.

>Nonetheless, Google's core service--providing unbiased, accurate, and free access to information--remains at the heart of the company.

Hah!

It started out so great, but at the end I was left with the impression that someone was just trying to shoehorn features into C with quirkier syntax than C++. That type declaration syntax will probably haunt me in my sleep.

Here I must praise KiCad. It is one of the best pieces of FOSS software out there. It beats almost all other (commercial or non-commercial) software in PCB design, hands down.

I have been waiting for a strongly typed mainstream high level language for a long time (TypeScript doesn't count because all type information is stripped during runtime). PHP still has a lot of cruft that prevents me from using it in my projects, but the recent updates seem like a step in the right direction. Hope that by PHP 8 the language will have deprecated more of the bad stuff.
