If you can shell out for it--in 2021--32 GB RAM is more future-proofed--especially if you're running Docker while trying to do other stuff.

I wish for a mature KotlinJS/WebAssembly ecosystem so robust it becomes the industry standard!

Actively seek new tech to integrate into your stack and/or rewrite/refactor existing features in cool, newer things.

EVENTUAL CONSISTENCY FTW!!

I went elsewhere...with Kotlin...and killed off the boilerplate and kept the JVM.

COME AT ME BRO! ;-)

Probably the least dev-ranty comment and won't help the dude that already fucked all his soil, but....

If you want to make a highly-effective, and eco-friendly weedkiller, here's the recipe:
50:1 ratio of 35% (read: commercial strength) vinegar to food-grade limonene. Apply with a spray-bottle.

Vinegar is naturally produced through fermentation of vegetation and naturally occurs widely in nature. Limonene is the primary essential oil in citrus fruits and in its pure form it can be purchased food-grade and is edible in small amounts to humans.

When applied at these strengths, it's toxic to plants. *But*, after the plants die, nature/soil microorganisms regularly encounter these substances and can break them down into harmless byproducts in time. No bioaccumulation, nothing that mammals don't already consume in their diets, no Monsanto!

When I was just starting my career and every time I'd say "uh"/"uhm" in a conference call, my mentor would come over to my desk and *slap* a post-it note on my desk that read "STOP SAYING UM."--in thick black sharpie. It trained me to pause instead, even if it fell in an awkward point in the sentence, because it conveys the sense that you're thoughtfully and carefully choosing your words. As long as the pauses aren't too long or too frequent, I've found that people rather hang on in anticipation for your next word as opposed to zoning out (or worse, interrupting you).

Thanks for coming to "my........Ted Talk".

@AtuM Save your soul. YAGNI & KISS FTW.

With the front-end, I completely agree. It's a 6-steps forward, 5-steps back mentality. A readiness to throw away something good for a sideways move. What's more, I always say it's better to be great at an OK tool than to be OK at a great tool. What's safer: an expert uber driver behind a prius, or a 16-year-old in a supercar? I'm far from luddite--but I'm an advocate for picking "better-things-when-they're-*actually*-better". 5% better is generally not worth throwing out the mature tool. 50% is worth the conversation. Neither is prudent *at all* without a real good think.

@mt3o +1 for Insomnia

@reflexgravity replace Java w/ Kotlin ;-)

FUCK CODE ROT.

4. Omg, I totally fucking know who wrote this. Oh, what a fucker. Seriously?

Alrighty.

To be sure.

That can't be right.

The fantastic book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" has a term for your feeling: a "gumption trap"--a natural aversion response to an activity from which you're not getting enough positive feedback (or a a disproportionate amount of negative feedback). The author, Robert Pirsig, especially has engineers of all types in mind. We need to have a good successful-launch-to-prod-failure ratio in order to keep us going. You might not even realize that this is going on until you explicitly take stock of your recent "goings-on" in your coding life. He gives a few suggestions. First, remind yourself that this is (I don't know you, but hopefully) still your passion and you will feel that passion again. Second, it might be worth taking some time away from it and your itch will return. And/or thirdly, do some coding that you know will be successful and make you happy. Pick a tiny side project that will give you joy. Cheers, man. We're all rooting for you.

@DanijelH Kotlin FTW! Seriously, every day I find something new with it where I'm like, "well, that was really, really, really fucking smart".
