sort of deep thoughts this morning:
- beginners don't need to learn vim/emacs on top of core programming concepts. true or false? (deep end is good, but can be discouraging)
- capitalism's influence on software development. can a piece of software/framework ever be considered "finished"?
- taking a good look in the mirror and realizing that if you wouldn't reject yourself then odds are someone else out there wouldn't reject you is fucking empowering.
@pixelpaperyarn
- True, and anyone that says otherwise is probably engaging in macho brogrammer BS
- Very little software that is being used on an ongoing basis can ever be "finished". Embedded assumptions constantly change, requiring either the software be updated or some backwards compatibility/emulation layer stuck underneath. Starcraft, originally released to run on Windows 95, recently got a patch to run on Windows 10.
- Yes!
@tetron
- agreed.
- yup. and that's what makes the question interesting to me.
- thank you!
