I’ve got to say, I used to blow off Docker as some trendy, hipster technology that people only use for the cool factor but ever since I tried it out, I’ve used it for about 80% of my personal projects...

What do you all do when you receive a call from a number you don’t recognise and they are asking for you by name?

Just received one, caller information showed the origin of the call was about two hours away and they just kept asking “Is $(MY_NAME) speaking?”, “May I speak with $(MY_NAME)?”.

Definitely an airline or cargo pilot. Always have loved everything about aviation.

Started learning COLEMAK today, hard but still a lot easier that I thought it was going to be!

Go has been a treat. Recently started toying around with it for one of my personal endeavours and despite being weird, it’s powerful!

Happy April Fools! Hope you all performed an obligatory `sudo rm -rf *` on at least one of your coworkers today!

i don’t know how to feel about these c++20 concepts. even though i haven’t seriously written c++ for years, it’s a little sad to see the language i know and love getting so convoluted and lost in modernisation. it’s gotten to the point where i look at a modern c++ code base and all i see is rust. especially the universal trailing return types everywhere, those get to me.

been about two weeks since my rust journey begin, and i've got to say, i love it. web frameworks with static type checking; amazing, standardised package manager; what a breeze, and macros; despite stating that i don't really see them as useful in earlier posts, they are really helpful. as well, in response to the slow "cold-start" build times, it's the price to pay for top-of-the-line compilation-time error checking. rust is amazing)

started my rust journey a few days back after a lot of debate, so far it's been *weird* to say the least, but i'm looking forward to it.

i still haven't picked up graphql, might spend sometime next weekend seeing what it has to offer. anyone have any advice or stories?
