    I don't think losing faith in the value of your job is the same a losing your job due to automation.

    My heart bleeds for the monospace font developers who have to design this glyph.

    Good faith question: what would you do with this information if you had it? For example, do you have a systematic audit plan for github accounts that you execute before using a pro…

    Hard agree, I would never use a totally different piece of software to run prod vs dev or local.

    It always amazes me the things that other people get really amped up about. I've never in my life felt anything at all about cut and paste.

    I know this is probably a bad question but it says that this language would be good for C developers who like Go's safety. Isn't Go's safety achieved by its garbage collection, whi…

    Lol I guess. I think there's a massive chasm between being ignorant of your effect on someone else and actively inflicting pain, but I'm sure I won't convince you that this is a me…

    I also dislike loud cars, but I've come to accept that the motivation of loud car owners is probably to gain kudos from other loud car lovers, rather than to inflict pain on us nor…

    Never hurts to have a reasonable, non-alarmist take on why the status quo is probably more durable than the hype men would have you believe. More of this please.

    By far the most satisfying piece I've read in this saga. Favorite line: > I’m not the one saying that their environment resulted in a buggy unmaintainable mess, Bun is the one sayi…

    I have commit signing enabled by default. I run my harness in a sandbox which doesn't have access to my signing key, and I always tell it not to commit. When it ignores me, the com…

    One challenge I've always had with having many concurrent project tracks is how to name them so they are distinct in my head. I made instrumental music so there's no lyrical line t…
