I thought cricket was the most boring sport in existence.

I heard some doctor say during a podcast that these medicines are really bad for your microbiome. Apparently this is still not common knowledge in the medical science and the effects may be much more devistating than once thought.

wait till she finds out that 0.99999… 9’s to infinity is the same as 1

I’ll have a look when that type system is there. I am too dumb to program without a type system.

Scala 3 is such a nice language. People should really give that a fair trial, not looking back at Scala’s ugly past.

I wonder now whether that means that you feel that egg industry CEOs deserve death threats…

Thanks for this. A lot of challenges for sure. I still don’t think it’s a bad business model per se and that these challenges can’t be addressed; I am sure they’ve thought of most of these challenges if not all. All business models are plagued with such challenges, but I think the worst thing about this one is simply that it is a departure from an old business model.

only for the last 30 years

For a game engine that does all the hard work? Why is this unreasonable. Have you any idea how much work goes into Unity?

Are you one of those “types are noobs” people?

Never heard of it, but it looks aweful

• Culture where you’re scared to criticize stuff, because people get angry when you’re telling them the truth or even just the elephant in the room. Echo chamber instead of idea lab.
• Management constantly making decisions such that no one decision made ever gets totally implemented, but the loose ends just stack up.
• Management not involving engineers in the and assuming that engineers are incapable of understanding how the business works, let alone contribute valuable ideas to how it might work better.
• Too many layers of hierarchy, competitive, macho male-dominated, title-driven, ego-driven culture where people are fighting they’re way up the totem pole instead of working cooperatively together to create a great experience for their users.
• Companies where silly little things that should be doable in hours costs weeks or months or where nothing gets done quickly, because too many people need to sign off on it.
• Mission statement that is bogus and you know that it really is all about money, growth and status. I like companies that are truly trying to adding value to the world, however small that change may be. I am just not interested in your algorithmic trading, crypto non-sense, optimizing ad revenue or getting people to waste more of their time or money with endless bull crap.
• Having to constantly fight to get the time to refactor, test, rethink, work on build/development/observability tooling instead of working on feature after feature endlessly. If I say something needs work I have good reasons for it that I am willing to explain, but do not assume that I like to waste time gold plating code because I am a autistic perfectionist with OCD with no sense for what the business is trying to do.
• Constant bogus deadlines that seem to come from nowhere and are only meant to keep the pressure on the engineers. I work hard and this kind of pressure only means we’re going to go fast in the short run and extremely slow in the long run, because nothing gets finished properly.
• Running the server side on Windows. I want to be able to debug issues in depth when they arise.
• Using the Go programming language. I am not going back to 80’s programming and checking for nil all day long, just to see my program segment fault in production anyway. (and yes, I am talking from experience here)
• Only remote companies. I get too lonely at some point and all the best cooperative ideas I’ve ever had in my career where born at the whiteboard with colleagues. This is just me though.

The real answer to the question you didn’t ask is: just don’t involve yourself in internet drama’s.

Tell me instead, what is the problem with a build step and typescript?

I am rooting for Mojo.

Nix! And then you can also auto-create your CI/CD environment from Nix. They share a common source, which eliminates whole classes of problems. It’s supsr fast and very awesome when it works, but it has a learning curve. Worth the effort though.

You can. I go on a 2 week Mahasi vipassana silent meditation retreat each year and each time the release notes make it worth the time and effort. Also like running defrag on a disk that has been defragged regurlarly, it runs smoother each time, making the whole experience much more pleasurable.

Release notes last retreat:

• Fixed approval seeking issue due to lack of approval by clueless dad during teenage years
• Reduced day dreaming by 10% by recognizing mechanisms that lead to day dreaming
• Optimized routines for dealing with tough situations
• Increased mindfulness by eliminating several mechanisms that lead to mindlesness
• Discovered access to high concentration states that likely will lead to more discoveries
• Fixed loneliness issue due to missed update
• Fixed part of a (self and others) judgement issue. More work on this issue needed.

The above is a pretty accurate representation of the results I got.

How fragile their ego’s must be. Can’t have anyone being different!

I am not getting into a discussion with you. Have a nice day though.
