@funder Where is the audio available?

What languages/frameworks would you specialize in if you wanted to get into programming and specialize in “legacy” software?

[Jacob Tomaw @JacobTomaw]

@c089 After 15 years of wondering why I am always in this situation I have decided to specialize in extreme ownership of neglected codebases. “Legacy” and “Classic” should terms of endearment not derogatory.

God has small plans for you. He's working something little in your life. It may bore you, even hurt. It will be totally unawesome. Yet, tucked in that brown paper simplicity of life, God will be at work, hidden in his opposite, camouflaged in the colors of a secret sanctity.

It is dangerous to be alive; one very often dies of it.

And I was just disconnected after 1h41m.

[Jacob Tomaw @JacobTomaw]

Been on call with @Orbitz for over 80m after what I thought was a hotel turned out to be a rental property through @vacasarentals that requires me to complete a wavier I cannot complete after getting the normal booking confirmation email telling me everything is all set.

He wants them to be able to live as they would like to live, and for them to treat him likewise. But under our system, he believes that if he doesn't vote to crush them, they're going to vote to crush him. https://t.co/jDjZWhcZk4
