C++:

error: expected ';' before EOF

Have been wanting to pick one up, but decided to squeeze the last bit of life out of my surface laptop. Let me know how it is.

At first, ignorance. Then they cook up Typescript and suddenly, Javascript is like c++ again.

@irene happy that you are sure about it.

@irene untrue. The nature vs nurture debate is inconclusive and probably always will be. The fact that there is a large group of people who believes otherwise is doing society a lot of harm right now. The real fact is you don't know where nature stops and nurture begins. And I don't either.

It is important to realize because it relaxes one's opinions on these types of issues. At least it does mine. I just don't know.

@irene wait, sex and gender are different things? Too me as a non native English speaker they are the same and match the standing up, sitting down while peeing story.

I have been developing on windows all my life and have contemplated switching to mac many times.

I get why I could have switched to macs in 2015. The machines were about 1,5x as expensive but at least you got a quality machine that just worked. I will not switch today. The specs are not great. You get shit keyboards. The touch bar is the biggest fail in human-machine interface history. You have to carry 10 dongles to hook everything together. The only thing that is innovative about Apple products is that people keep buying them for higher prices even though they are more shitty every year.

I installed Linux a couple of times. Always found something that I didn't get about the system and abandoned it.

The only downside I see to Windows for developers now is that PowerShell commands suck, are unintuitive and they are different than every server I need to work in. This is solved by WSL.

In the end of the day it's what your used to. Windows gets more hate than it deserves.

Wait, there's a homepage??

@maushax Thanks. Switched to react-native cli :)

This is exactly the problem with this experience thing in coding. You can write crappy code for 9 years and be preferred over someone who writes clean code for 2 years. Years on the job is a very poor indicator for programming skill.

And by the way, initiating an empty variable to return it instead of returning from the conditional is just shit code.

Did I just hijack the rant?

Did that for 12 months and then we shut down. I wish you better fortune

Sounds like the type of boss who recognizes you as a 10x engineer because your ide is in dark mode

And wifi in the train is a joke. I think it is for tracking purposes only

My train hotspot is called "Tomorrow free beer"

@sain love the chart. Is there a better quality one?

@devTea have been watching this go wild on Twitter all weekend. Most reactions are golden. Starting with the Mike Conley ones right below that thread. Original thread definitely cringe af

1) Make a big cup of filter coffee
2) Slice 50 - 100 grams of butter from a butter stick and add this to the coffee
3) Add a big table spoon of coconut oil
4) Stir until dissolved

No breakfast needed. Alert and full all morning. Bulletproof. You're welcome.

My last commit message: "improved all the things". Good luck ;)

@noobrants hang in there. Almost there I think

1. Laptops

2. Windows with WSL

3. Both suck

4. Either proper espresso, or anything goes

5. Dark theme

6. Tabs, but preferably the editor handles this. Who cares really. Same with CRLF vs LF and all that nonsense

I like it

Scrum, when implemented correctly, is awesome. The problem is that usually people don't implement anything and call it Scrum (or Agile).

@akamaru unless the work that you did is truly unrelated I would count those years as experience and use them to my advantage. If you have the feeling that you are not junior anymore you could always ask. The funny thing is that people who ask for promotions really do get them faster.

That being said, I have no clue about your situation in particular and my previous comment was only semi-serious :)

I don't know about all these classifications, but if you still have the label junior after 5 years maybe ask for a promotion :)

As soon as you become remotely ok at coding you are going to have a thousand people who want you to build their idea. In the end, it boils down to this:

- Do you believe in the idea?

- Do you believe it is good enough to work on it for free for at least a year?

- Do you believe your skills are complementary enough?

- Do you guys get along well enough to be in the trenches together?

And just a final thought. I would say always get a third person on board. I have had a bad experience with 50/50 structures. You need someone to be the deciding vote when shit hits the fan.

@sbiewald Great read. Thanks! Wouldn't this suggest that there actually is a niche audience for which recommending awesome things (movies or other things) would be disruptive in the market?
