@elisa I was lucky if I felt gutsy enough to ask for a record player someone found in a barn or something, lol.
@elisa ambitious af lol
This is going to resonate with a few of you, at least. 😉
"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
Are developers the digital bourgeoisie?
I mean, they have the source code, understand it, and decide what happens with it. Non-developers can only ask for features and hope the developers grant them. "Open source" is like liberalism: freedom only if you have money (ability to program).
@CobaltVelvet I entirely concur.
pooh... that's not honey...

Node... I just feel like it's a bad language and a bad ecosystem. And we took that bad base and pushed it hard enough to work in production for some reason and now it's mildly working and it's just sad we spent all this effort there.
Just imagine what we could have now if all that work and resource were put into... Rust?
Probably a very unpopular opinion, but I don't like the fact that there are so many languages and frameworks. It's extremely suboptimal. Diversity is great but we surely could profit from having less redundancy.
Is there anything good coming from having Ruby/Python/Perl/JS? They are overlapping on most point and solving the same problems in the same ways. We could reasonably just keep one or two.
First GitHub PR accepted!
You're always entitled to your emotions, even the ugly and seemingly unhelpful ones.
@PW can't believe I finally got my first pull request in. I'm very proud of myself
@Dianora true, that is pretty nasty. Because it just boils down to "I'm going to believe what I want anyway regardless of anyone else's arguments."
@Dianora lulz. God I hate that argument.
@lattera read that as Salvia lol
@Dianora Yes I did, but still an important distinction. :)
"I consider that we are still monkeys; we just came down from the trees rather recently, and it’s astonishing how well we can do. The fact that we can even write down partial differential equations, let alone solve them, to me is a miracle. The fact that we ourselves at the moment have very limited understanding of things doesn’t surprise me at all. I propose that our universe is the most interesting of all possible universes, and our fate as human beings is to make it so." -- Freeman Dyson.
