@retoor "In person" was the wrong term, what I meant was "live training" regardless if its in person or remote because usually who makes these is some wannabe teacher who retells you the content of a book (design patterns, wohooo!) as its the 2nd coming of Christ, some soy-dev over enthusiast for the flavor of the day framework, or some overworked guy which has to cover an excessive amount of ground with his courses so he fails to get in depth with his material.

I do admit that once I had a cool "live, in person" training experience and it was a PostgreSQL course made by a core contributor.

Regolith Linux is a distro which derives from Ubuntu and has tiling built-in by default, another option is Pop!OS where you can enable it with a single toggle in notification center.

If macOS is more your jam there's the free app Amethist which gives better tiling capabilities to macOS GUI.

@daniel-wu I agree with your point about Electron and on the fact that VSCode might be as heavy as Visual Studio but at least it doesn't lag at every input I throw at it and has decent keybindings.

At home on my Unix-like machines I'd rather use Neovim with LSP and few additional plugins but at work I'm forced to use Windows and I struggle to replicate my Neovim/CLI heavy workflow on it so I decided to settle with VSCode and some PowerShell.

@jestdotty yeah, it doesn't make any sense to call Visual Studio Code "Visual". Unlike its bigger brother it doesn't include any wysiwyg feature for GUI design in its core features.

I understand that programming may have become boring for you but what do you mean with "too political"?

I just stay away from Twitter and community drama around "codes of conduct" and I'm able to program without being affected by politics.

@kobenz I'm from Italy and here phones or tablets are kinda a customary gift for 8/9 years old kids

@jestdotty Agree, I guess we have to "thank" Steve Jobs and his iPhone for that... with his iPhone he started the trend of creating general purpose computing devices in which the owner is not the admin and now that shit is spreading to PCs too

@MammaNeedHummus As I'm writing this I'm reading chapter 3, this book definitely speaks to me and to my legacy code induced misery

@Root I'm balding too... and it seems to have accelerated after I transitioned to BE

@jestdotty Anxiety for the development environment or for my broken English 😁

@MammaNeedHummus I knew this book but for various reasons (mostly an already gigantic "to read list") but I never bought it, I got the book this morning, I read few pages and now I feel stupid for not reading it before... I skimmed part of it and it seems to cover situations like mine very well

@Demolishun That's a good reason to use "master" too.
Personally after the stupid "main vs master" controversy anytime a tool tried to steer me towards using "main" as the base branch of a project I quickly rename that to "master" just out of spite.

@MammaNeedHummus I'm conflicted on that: on one hand I'd love to leave behind some cringe developments of these last year, on the other I'd definitely miss some things.

@Kernel Same, I'm born in '98 but still feel nostalgic looking at old computers.
If I'll ever get an apartment big enough for a studio I want to put there some classic computer and terminals from the 80s and 90s.

I prefer to get my information from books but there are some no BS programming YouYubers I like for example Low Level Learning.

Said that unless the topic is lighthearted I tend to steer away from likely clickbaity videos, when on YT I see content like

"Coding is dead"

"This one simple trick will make you much more productive" (obligatory thumbnail with a big green number like +186%)

"Gen Alpha is doomed" (obligatory thumbnail with Skidibi Toilet, TikTok and Fortnite)

I steer away because I know its very likely to be low quality slop

@Demolishun you can even run your server offline, this way it doesn't call back to Mojang

Vite is not a front-end library

NextJS is basically React with battery included

Snappy even on low end hardware, cheap to develop for (no need for a Mac or 1TB of RAM to run woth Android Studio), came with great apps (free Office suite and iffline navigation) and it pioneered many features which competition implemented only later. Windows Phone has all my respect.

@ostream That's a cool compromise 👍👍

@gymmerDeveloper Have you ever seen how farm life actually works? Animal and crops doesn't mnow what PRO is so its far from "unlimited time at your command"

@Lensflare Nowadays I rarely study frameworks but aim at more fundamental stuff like system programming, algorithms, methodologies, design patterns, stuff which doesn't change frequently.

Can't help for the time boundaries but for the other why don't you just use a laptop and put it away once you finished?

Looking at lolcows online and IRL

Medium is an absolute clown town, I miss when self hosting stuff was the standard and content farms weren't a thing.

@iiii I think about two specific retards

DevRant is better off being split in 2 or multiple apps: one for actual devs ranting and another one for culture war bullshit (it doesn't matter if left-wing or right-wing). Oh almost forgot, the second one already exists and its name is Twitter.

Do you work 16 hours/day? If not I don't see the issue on playing for some amount of time even in weekdays.

@msdsk I'm not a defender of capitalism but the current alternatives scares me: communism is cool... until you don't agree on what the leaders have planned for you.

@msdsk Still better than the "eco-communism" that "Extinction Rebellion" guys dreams about.

Fuck these hipster meditation apps, you can meditate with literally nothing and if you need some sounds/music/guidance you can get these for free or for cheap from the Internet. No need for another stupid subscription.
