About ulizzle

I've been coding since I was a little kid, but I didn't start building software professionally until college, back when Javascript loosely equaled Flash and artisanal WordPress blogs were all the rage.

But then one day, Steve Jobs, in one of his LSD-infused power trips, said:

"LET THERE BE NO MORE FLASH ON THE IPHONE!"

Little did we know that would be the end of the creative web; but in my case, I moved on to Ruby on Rails & started building web apps.

Later, JavaScript would rise from the ashes like a goofy-eyed, janky-looking phoenix in the form of Node.js & I've been living mostly in the Wild West of JavaScript ever since.

    Funny enough, revenge is something people willingly starve themselves for if need be.

    I don’t want to sell, I was hoping to be buried in the backyard when I died.

    Port was what I was thinking. Can’t turn wine into whiskey. That’s not only impossible but grounds for a holy war between wine and whiskey aficionados Plus it goes with the whole g…

    In that case the Russians would have scorched Stalingrad, which they didn’t. They didn’t because of the symbolism behind it

    That’s a good question. No, I wouldn’t. It’s not one of Ridley Scott’s best works. I’d say if you enjoyed kingdom of heaven then you may like it. I’d rather watch “The Terror” agai…

    By the way, if anyone likes history flicks, I won’t recommend watching the new Napoleon, unless it’s a pirated hate watch. The classic “Waterloo” remains undefeated

    People were willing to die for the revolution and Napoleon. Apparently, self-determination and free will doesn’t apply if you don’t agree with their politics.

    It was actually hilarious but I don’t think many people here got the irony

    I actually think it's far better to pair program with ChatGPT instead of another human.

    This is some seriously brazen propaganda. I'll give them points for courage.

    What's a good useful difference between .bashrc and .bashprofile? I usually just ignore everything but the rc files.

    The biggest sin: bringing up inconvenient truths in public.
