Why isn't the author just using a document store instead? This entire post is defeating the purpose of RDBMS'. What happens when data needs to be updated? Would that require a number of n update statements in order to change a username for instance?

thanks for the clarification

this is a terrible argument. Would you enjoy going to the toilet when a certain group of people (like your neighbours) could watch you doing your "business"?

using titles is just such a burden.. i'd rather just be myself, who enjoys the hell out of stuff and let people in dire need of belonging come up with titles.

what does sunsetting mean?

we are driving towards an axiom here I believe. IMO the only way programming will change is the set of tools we are going to use on a daily basis, but no matter how evolved AI is going to be the need to formulate features in a formal manner will always be a requirement. Think of lawyers for instance. To a certain degree they are programmers acting within the boundaries of the law. Basically they are glueing together modules. I think programmers fate will be similar to that

i feel like an alien too but without the drug part (maybe the internet). Not hooked on anything yet still unable to pursue meaningful relationships outside the preexisting few I have left. Lately I stopped expressing ideas to people, since most of them are just rejected or get swallowed up by the void. All i'm trying to say is that there *might* be something more to the social part.

it doesn't have to be good. it just has to be better than hipchat and webex

part of the hatred has to come from the fact that it's a tool used for hidden micromanagement. Whenever I experienced Jira being introduced into the workflow, human connection vanished, work became laboring and many times the better devs left the team due to lack of autonomy. Who remained were the people who didn't mind to just work and never question, like factory workers of the 1900's.

I don't mind using Jira as a verbose platform which aims to map project state and helps communication BETWEEN all participants, but this is rarely the case, especially with all those pseudo-agile practices that are part of mainstream software development.

Another part of the hatred may come from the fact that it's an overcomplicated tool for a moderately simple task. This complexity is standing in the way most of the time. I just want a simple board for a simple project with simple issues/user stories/whatevers and update their state which gets reflected on the board. For additional features i want to install/write a plugin and that's it. If I need a manual for software in 2022 it's either trash or something far from mainstream (in which case complexity and/or lack of ux might be acceptable).

because it seems go and rust are in a competition, and a rust library of similar fashion just made it to front page. takes off tinfoil hat

Google will return irrelevant results from today rather than relevant results from 10 years ago.

It's the main reason behind why instead of bookmarking stuff, I instead archive stuff. Search engines aren't as convenient as they used to be, especially for non-trending topics. At least that's my experience.

you can always build your own app from source IF that's an option. The app itself is open source. https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS

I agree with the author on the server part of. It makes sense to make use of something specifically designed for the task at hand.

At the same time the post brings back memories from university when my fellows had these immature arguments about how PHP is the worst language on the planet and it shouldn't be used for anything but as a bad example. It's such a waste of time.

Some arguments of the author make sense in certain contexts, especially if you're used to do things in a certain way and you get other results in JS which is a different language, in a different context (the context being that JS to the web is much closer to what Lua is to game development than let's say Java to backend development). At the end of the day it's just lack of understanding that raises confusion. Only because something is "weird" it doesn't mean it's also bad.

by bumping into them?

Not like anybody is checking this, I'm speaking from e experience. I had several coworkers over the years who used to live for much longer in Schengen countries without registration. In Austria this works moderately well so does it in Hungary, but of course it has some drawbacks too. Usually in countries where people tend to curb laws to their liking as well as "forget" to pay taxes (this is the case for Hungary) more often than not, this visa situation not a big deal

It's not as severe as advertised.

that limits the number of languages to a handful. like brainfuck and similar ones. doesn't it?

I put too much effort into work which lead to a severe burnout that rendered me incapable of being useful and productive for years. I'm one of those guys who grew up using computers, every wake minute I was thinking about computer related stuff, everything had a solution using software in my head. I lost this from one moment to the other. Luckily for me it came back after 4 years of the crash. Fun times. Have a life outside of work even if it's just the same you do at work, but do something unrelated. People need to recharge their brains using activities they truly enjoy

not necessarily. before his appearance on the JRE podcast I didn't know him at all (i know i live under a rock), yet i've found his ideas compelling. Although Joe doesn't invite nobodies for the most part, so i might be wrong to some extent.

very low in a sense that since we discovered antibiotics, the global mortality rate went down by a factor of 10. compared to that we are still in a relatively "good" position.

and also: good job! :) (just to round up the critique :D)

I love the idea, but there are a few UX issues which area rather annoying. One such issue is that the <input /> loses focus rather easily, like with as hitting the TAB key. The other thing which I find suboptimal is that the input does not get focus when I click on the "terminal". If I use the shell, I expect to be able to type whenever the pane receives focus.

Another non-technical thing is that as a non-tech user I would be lost, since there's no indication of what to do on the page, a little hint in form of a MOTD would be a nice touch to round it up.

you should come up with fictional childhood stories, or movie scenes without giving too much detail on characters or environment.

Not necessarily. Energy sources we consider as green nowadays have an immense toll on our environment which is massively understated. Take solar panels for example. They are supposed to produce energy without CO2 emissions, which is explicitly true, but implicitly they produce just as much CO2 as coal. The production of these panels isn't as sexy as it seems. Also they tend to degrade after a few decades and lose efficiency exponentially. There are many other electricity generating solutions which have similar problems. It's sad, but the least polluting source would be to go nuclear. I believe you and many others would change their mind after a little digging into the topic. I was rather sceptical in the beginning as well, but due to facts I had t o change my mind.
