Not everything needs a comment - knowing when comments add value is the key… “what” vs “why” is usually a good indicator but some code just doesn’t need a comment.

1 o’clock and 10 o’clock are the the wrong angles.

Sorry, the technology that is focused on using a publicly available block chain is being favored in building privacy options? I could definitely build some privacy tooling that incorporates the block chain but why the fuck would you ever chose to do it?

Merci beaucoup!

NIH (Not Invented Here) is absolutely the downfall of many tech companies. Code costs constant money to maintain - it may sound illogical since it’s unchanged from the day it was written but it absolutely is the case.

In most of the developed world there is a mandatory level of severance (and companies can obviously exceed that if they want but the base amount is guaranteed). In BC it’s one week after three months (the probationary period) a second week after one year and then one additional week per year up to a maximum of eight weeks.

Oh fuck it is! Hooray for Reddit dying!

Trump appointed a family member as the GOP chair and it looks like Baron is being setup to get another nepotism appointment. That fucking rot goes deep.

I don’t disagree that most GOP politicians want him gone - I don’t think he’s ever been popular with senators or house reps… but everyone still in an elected position is either a true believer or someone who knows to keep their mouth shut - the fucking voting base is insane. As a parallel I’d point to our unfortunate BC provincial politics where a party attached the conservative label to themselves and jumped from 0 to like 40% of the expected vote share overnight.

Conservatives are fucking crazy and do not give a shit who their actual reps are - they’re entirely identity based voters.

Don’t let that fear cow you into accepting marginal raises or career stagnation (assuming you’re not happy at your current level). Severance (outside the US) is usually generous enough to skate into your next opportunity and, tbh, working in constant fear is fucking awful for your mental health.

As someone who writes high throughput PHP code I can confirm that it’s much more about technique than language capabilities (though in an embedded setting things with dynamic GCs are simply unusable unless static memory management can be enabled with a compiler switch).

For most projects you’d be much more rewarded for focusing on tools/framework/libraries available for the different languages (since that’s where most initial effort will go) and then build up any missing functionality as needed ontop of that base.

Most languages can do pretty much anything these days. The technical advantages are much smaller than the impact the right approach will have… it’s one reason that I hold “maintainability” as the most important attribute of a project.

Well fuck, I’ve got family there.

But, and hear me out, bro, what if we added just one more lane?

That’s what I’ve asked for in my will - it’s an excellent choice!

Just wait - starting 39 days from now we get to speculate if the election results will actually be obeyed or not.

And that fucker will never stop being in the news - his family has a death grip over the GOP.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

Have my upvote, you monster.

Please, Sir, you’ve had enough internet.

Five minutes after reading this post.

I really don’t like these past few seasons though. It’s much too dark for me!

I thought yall had plenty of those bootstraps you keep talking about. Couldn’t you help yourselves with those? /s
