This is the first video generated by LLMs that I’ve enjoyed

We could have had Sanders… Arghh

I really think tools like voiden, hurl, and verb make sense. They make it easier to troubleshoot a system later or to share requests with other developers without leaving the repo. The only real challenge becomes handling authentication scenarios without putting secrets in plain text.

Speaking of writing a thesis, I imagine that leaves plenty of room for PTSD! I personally like the direnv support for emacs much more than other environments, and I’ve become a big fan of ripgrep and fuzzy finding.

Ha! I still love it though

I’ve been enjoying verb.

I’m convinced it should be illegal to operate social media platforms for profit. It wouldn’t solve all the problems, but it would make a dent.

History has taught us the value of standing up for others that are being dehumanized. Abuse of power cannot be tolerated.

True statement and thanks! It’s really hard to break through the walled garden, and I’ll take any crack I can give it.

Thanks for sharing! The NYT article takes it easy on MTG, but I’m hoping it might resonate with one or two family members that can’t get enough OAN.

How about a monumental guillotine?

I’ve thought this too. The list should be growing every day.

I think there’s a healthy amount of bs in there (Chrome, C# as traditional?), but some of it checks out. I like a mix of old and new but try to stay away from proprietary. Current favorites are probably Emacs, NixOS, and Rust.

The name sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. I thought he was some old guy.

And if (A) happens, the money is not coming from the wealthy.

I’ve personally become pretty fond of the syntax and incorporation of FP features. In all fairness though, I haven’t written much C or C++ for the last two decades.

Rust incorporates some of my favorite features from FP with handy green thread ergonomics. I’m not a fan of Go, so this gives me a great option for microservices when I can avoid Node.js.

Yep - I don’t really know who these evangelists are either. I have read about “fearless concurrency,” which seems pretty spot-on.

I find the bit about believing the lies we’re fed as somewhat naive. We’re all on a journey, and everyone starts in a different place, with unique foundations.

My current opinions vary wildly from those held 20 years ago. Change is a good thing, and I think it should be expected as the norm.

I believe we do not truly have agency but have evolved to think and act as though we do. Since inputs to each choice are likely infinite (probably uncountable as opposed to countable), the lack of agency is difficult to observe.

Driving a manual is pretty easy, but it depends on how you handle failure. The learning process requires making a few mistakes while you become familiar with a clutch and shifting gears.

Also, I think it’s much easier to learn if you know what the parts are doing. Watch some videos on how it all works and what different RPMs sound like.

Well said and thanks for expanding on the topic. It’s great to get more information out there and give others extra perspective.

I find Haskell fascinating too - it really changes your expectations of programming languages!
