This is like saying that, because we have calculators and spreadsheets, nobody needs to learn mathematics or economics.

Important stuff mentioned by @laut in his talk yesterday at @ElixirConfUY today: date and times are complex ๐๏ธ
You just gotta suck it up and deal with that complexity ๐
ALT Picture of a conference slide with the words: "Date and time have some inherent complexitites and limitations. Software languages or libraries can't always guess what you want."

Itโs time for @laut ๐
With his โMake your life easier with the date and time types in Elixirโ, heโll cover when to use which date and time types, how these types work in #Elixir, and how they align with database types and Ecto.

Touch screens replacing buttons in cars makes for a terrible user experience and is dangerous too. A dangerous fad. Design is about how it works. Not how it looks.

Door handles are superior to door knobs. Much easier to open. Whatโs the point of door knobs? Are they cheaper to make? The only advantage I can see is that belt loops are less likely to be caught in them. #doorhandletwitter

IYI bureaucrats opposed to masks used (bogus) arguments abt the protection of the wearer ("not perfect", etc.)
They didn't think that since it ALSO prevents (more effectively) ASYMPTOMATIC sick pple from spreading it, there wd be yuuge systemic effect.
PS: @WHO is a fraud.

#COVID19 This is probably the best scientific explainer I have seen on why we should all wear masks against #coronavirus

โWe cannot any longer claim that masks โare not effectiveโ. We cannot allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.โ #Masks4All
