I had the pleasure of working with Jeff in ... I want to say 2012 - he taught me so much, is a fabulous developer and teammate, and we had some great times together. Edit: mise roc…

But why? The best thing about vim is normal mode. Emacs with evil-mode is so cool.

I love this take. I was a die-hard Vim/Neovim zealot... but these days I absolutely love the ecosystem of tools that support normal mode. For so long hand-cramping emacs keybinding…

You can mock the RNG. You don’t need to test/prove it’s random, you need to test your code which is not random.

You'd have a lot more time to find and boot them prior to running the lottery. Assuming you didn't/couldn't detect them, at least you spare your users the anxiety and inconvenience…

I don't understand what's so hard about this problem - if you have a platform that's impacted by bots and scalpers, and if you want to do the right thing, or give the appearance of…

You can build very fast reloading yourself, easily. If I'm smart with persisting state on the client, I find I don't really miss "hot" reloading.

Or easily write your own dev server. Once you use the API instead of the CLI, if you have any experience with Express or Connect it's trivial.

I'm trying to improve discourse by fighting against the downvote. It's my opinion it harms discourse significantly. It's low signal, and not constructive. It has an obvious chillin…

You could try. I'd assume it was downvoted by folks who perpetuate said double-talk. If there was a defense, they'd have articulated it. But, since anonymous downvoting is easier a…

Management often already got a deal or has worked their tech choice into a financial projection. Sometimes, they are even right. And "I told you so" rolls downhill.

Screw the site guidelines - drive-by downvoting this comment is highly suspicious, and cowardly.

I think you're in a tiny minority but I'd love to hear more about how it impedes you.

Just to add on to this - remember the first time you saw syntax highlighting? And before that, the code was all in one color? You didn't know you needed it before, but you didn't g…

I started smoking for this reason and considered it a benefit at the time. But after quitting you come to realize that the camaraderie is covering up the fact that you're all out t…

> There’s obviously good things provided by tech (otherwise folks wouldn’t have started using it) The "good" doesn't have to be significant for us to become addicted. There are som…

Me too! Thanks.

I don't agree that society functions well, and I see people mess with each other almost constantly. Your reality seems nice.

Yes. I'm not saying we choose to be bad. I'm saying we sort of have to, and billionaires get the choice, and still choose to generally do more damage than than any of us will ever …

This is false, too. Those bowls were always empty by the time I got to them. Edit: ever been at a long line for the bathroom at a big concert or sporting event? Or driven on the ro…

Don't forget the police playing copyrighted music while they abuse you to stop you from filming them. When the police are ahead of the tech, you know the People are f'd.

Branson is entering eccentric-pathetic territory. All the other billionaires, evil or otherwise, tend to demonstrate a high level of confidence. Sir Richard is spending his money t…

This is false. Most people will take advantage of any situation where they detect a low enough chance of consequences, regardleas of who is hurt. We act good because we don't want …

The guns you can buy don't compare in any way to the guns the bad actors have. Apples and oranges.

Many TV and radio commercials still say "backslash" in URLs. They're just wrong, it's never been a backslash. I was being mean.
