15 years here too. I turn 40 today. Grateful for this community. I quit social media years ago but still enjoy the discourse here.

Pettyjohns Cave is another one on Pigeon Mountain: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pettyjohn_Cave Used to take creative writing classes there in college. It’s beautiful, just make …

I’m 37, married with two kids. Flying to Scotland for a week next Monday. Life is what you make it. I’m happier than I was at 22, no question.

I think it’s a matter of expectations. I use stock Ubuntu and GNOME and have almost zero customizations. I haven’t touched it except to upgrade since 2018 and have had zero issues.…

I keep count! If I know I had 4 ideas on a run, I can usually bring them back to mind if I focus. Even holding my fingers in the four position with one down helps. Sounds a little …

Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an ed…

My usual approach is to comment stuff out while debugging/developing. Works well.

Yeah, but man does he get some great guests from time to time. Really enjoyed Travis Oliphant and Todd Howard in addition to the ones the parent listed.

Y’all are one of my favorite podcasts. Loved the vim and neovim episodes. Heroku and Tauri ones too. Keep up the good work.

I got an SSL error, fyi. ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Appreciate the insight. All fair points. I guess part of the problem is inertia and comfort level. You figure out how to do something well in one language and it gets harder to sta…

I like to find ways to use a variety of languages at work when it makes sense. For example, Python/Pandas is great for dealing with spreadsheets and other large data sets, Go gives…

I work for a small regional logistics company, and our CEO remarked the other day that he would be willing to spend thousands per month for a reliable route optimization service. I…

I know this has been discussed ad nauseam since the release but I’m still on the fence and looking for some perspectives from those who have taken the leap. I have an old Dell gami…

We self host Mattermost and it works well. Logs are in Postgres which is nice. Building the React Native app was not super fun but we have some experience in that already which hel…

This is a good approach. More people should do this. I should do this.

I’m horrible about this. I ask a question and then answer it, hold a whole conversation with myself and the poor recipient. Someone take away my Mattermost login!

Interesting! Appreciate the info

Thanks for the links! I like the idea of a changed mindset. That sort of thing can be useful in and of itself as an educational exercise.

Honestly? I’m interested in it and wanted an excuse to give it a try. No more compelling reason than that.

Thanks for the insight! I am the team--everything before was done quite manually with spreadsheets. I already work in the organization but have been promoted out of development int…

I’m starting a new role that will be heavy on data analysis. In the past I’ve focused on web dev/CRUD apps using Go, JS, PHP, other web stuff. All that to say, this will be new ter…

This happened to me the other day with sqlx. Tried to duplicate the quick start example and got a slew of errors. I should make a ticket, maybe I did something wrong.
