It’s exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.

It’s a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button

Some people write their entire codebase within those parentheses.

^{me. I’m talking about me}

In an ideal world, yes. In a locked down world where you have access only to 1/4 the codebase or your job is more ontology-focused, all you have access to might be the JSON. Leaving a comment or two about why a particular value or hierarchy is as it is is sometimes more clear than writing up a seperate README that no one will read

I’d have a few words with them, kick them right up their rear endian

They are useful metadata important to the longterm lifespan of the codebase

Not many people realise this, but Hanibal’s dad Hamilcar Barca had a lisp, and used his knowledge of abstract syntax trees and delayed execution to deforest parts of the Himalayas in order to let his elephant of a son through.

I spent the last two decades coding between coffee cups. I loved it. I would bounce of bed each morning with my mind buzzing with ideas to employ in my job.

Then I had to work in a different timezone. Can’t drink coffee in the evening, because otherwise I don’t sleep at midnight.

Every day is hell. I expend significant effort to overcome brainfog and motivate myself to work. It’s a losing battle. It’s also an eye opener of exactly how much I like what I’m doing, which isn’t very much. I wonder if it was just the caffeine all along

which is why its important to let people coast in their careers like we were allowed to up until recently

You shouldn’t have to constantly take on new and difficult projects at once just to stay afloat, it should genuinely be enough to punch in, do a single task, punch out after a certain age.

I access my gmail on my phone browser (I hate email apps because of how intrusive they can be), and for a while it was nice. I didn’t need to enable javascript, gmail just worked.

Then they got rid of the HTML-only frontend, and so I used the javascript frontend, and gmail just worked.

Then they started adding a “Please use the App” banner every Nth time I login. For now, it’s… fine.

Once they get rid of the mobile javascript frontend? Yes, I might have to try using email apps again

8 lightswitch states. Smack em all on, and smack em all off. If there’s no change, that’s a bad lightswitch

Spark’s syntax reminds me of submitting an application to a bank before I had a permanent address.

Yes it looks like I’m checking all the boxes, but I have to fudge some requirements just to get the process running, and remind myself to update the details later
