Yup they could use nano -/0, or they could just use micro.

A note: I couldn’t find -/ referenced online easily though when I checked it is indeed there. On Mac nano redirects to pico by default which doesn’t have that either. I think it’s understandable someone would just choose to use micro

It’s not that they want more features - it’s that in micro for instance copy is ctrl+c which everyone already knows, where in nano it’s different

There are well adjusted people that choose their behavior based on empathy and there are well adjusted people that choose their behavior based on what is allowed/normal. There are way more people in the second category

He’s not writing anything professionally anyway. His whole job is to tell other people how to work (badly)

I could maybe give him some leeway if the examples in the book itself showed responsible code, but they simply do not

had a good idea and wrote a good book

I read the book after asking some junior engineers why they kept insisting on breaking straightforward tasks that could be a single pure function into a web of stateful method calls and learned they were being recommended it by another senior dev.

That book is one of the major contributors to the object oriented enterprise Java from the 90s that everyone universally loathes.

I personally think this discussion is probably the greatest thing he had contributed to software engineering, and not because it puts him in a positive light. https://github.com/johnousterhout/aposd-vs-clean-code/blob/main/README.md

When I went to look up the term “magpie developer” I saw this and had a chuckle https://magpie-lang.com/

The funny thing is that it wasn’t even a good book.

this man holds no significant position of prominence within the industry.

I wish that was true but I’ve had to specifically countermand his teachings at 2 different companies because newbies were being told to read his book

The code had the single responsibility to waste your time

Uncle Bob has always been a hack whose advice made code less maintainable.

Who is we? There is a reason the other stuff gets called “renewable energy” and oil doesn’t.

“Party of small government” was always marketing rather than reality.

llm could be useful for helping product folks translate their thoughts into actionable items

In my experience it makes them give me an essay instead of 10 lines of bullet points and I have you spend an hour asking questions to whittle it down to 10 lines of a bullet points

I think it’s more a meme than people actually hating them that much

I liked heliboard. It doesn’t require network access, has gesture typing that works well, though you have to manually add the library, lots of configuration, and some stuff I use all the time like slide on delete to choose how much to delete and slide on space to move cursor.

Basically it is both private and a pleasure to use (after configuring)

is a psycho. We have security cameras in the kitchen

I’m pretty sure a landlord can not do that legally most places

You might look at “clip on” earbuds. It’s a new form factor in the past few years that doesn’t have a part that goes in the canal

Did they ever sort out the GC vs nonGC standard library kerfuffle? I was interested in dlang quite awhile ago but the ecosystem seemed fractured (and not big enough for that to be ok)

It’s the elf transformation
