Today is a good day! #golang

"For the foreseeable future, the Go team will stop pursuing syntactic language changes for error handling. We will also close all open and incoming proposals that concern themselves primarily with the syntax of error handling, without further investigation."

Microsoft is such crap. Ripped off my daughter multiple times over Minecraft licenses that vanish when going to a new laptop. Xbox? Live? Wtf.

By getting rid of React they saw a 50% reduction in TTI. We have finally gone full circle.
Time to write everything in vanilla js!

No one wants to admit this, but:
- Serverless is technical debt
- Scrum is process debt
- Daily standups are communication debt
- RTO mandates are engagement debt
As with any kind of debt. These things can get you a lift on the short term, but you'll need to pay them back on the long run.

Next.js is not a full stack framework.
Repeat after me:
Next.js is not a full stack framework.
Next.js is not a full stack framework.
Next.js is not a full stack framework.
Next.js is not a full stack framework.
Next.js is not a full stack framework.

The funny thing is how rarely you actually need to check if a file exists. Doing so is almost always a race condition and misguided, because you could just try opening it instead. And if you don’t need to open it, you probably don’t need to know if it exists.

Hey Wisconsin. Want to play a game?
I hid 10 $DCR (~120 $USD) under a rock.
Here: maps.app.goo.gl/zxjno8rQZYnR…
Find the capsule and redeem the code in Bison Wallet to claim the funds.
Reply with a picture of the capsule, and I'll send you some $MATIC too.

Still can’t believe we mislead an entire generation of devs by teaching them OOP too early

Several generations of programmers have been taught the OOP mindset
It's very hard to unlearn
"Should a rectangle draw itself?"
"Should I create a Manager class to manage my Manager classes?"
These types of questions are so far beyond a waste of time it's absurd
