@nmdmatt I'm actually thinking of getting a Linux box (not necessarily a laptop) for my development environment - something hefty enough to run test migrations reasonably quickly - and retiring my MacBook Pro to personal/travel use.

@nmdmatt re: paralysis - my attitude has become if I've reached the point where I'm trying to figure out if A is 1% better than B, just flip a coin and commit to the result (of course, if you find yourself groaning at the result, commit to the other thing).

@grafcaps @rdohms @MongoDB But... "undoable" means you can't do, not you can undo.

It's a parsing ambiguity - "un-doable" vs. "undo-able". And I think for most English speakers "un" is the lowest priority operator, thus the last to be applied.

@colinodell @ramsey Of course, they wouldn't work in isolation - the Senate should certainly advise the House on what they're likely to accept.

[Virtuoso Performance @VirtPerformance]

@colinodell @ramsey Perhaps a House of Developers which initiates legisl... ummm, language proposals. And once approved by 2/3 of the House, a 2/3 vote in the Senate (core devs) to finalize.

[Virtuoso Performance @VirtPerformance]

@ramsey @taylorotwell @zeevs Agreed - the users of the language should certainly have a significant say. as long as there are more than enough core devs to veto anything that's a nightmare to implement.

@TrooperSanders @ashedryden There's so much sci-fi imagining better futures - but sure, let's implement a dystopia from Mr. Paranoid himself...

Does anyone else feel that they basically lucked into a high paying career because their interests randomly aligned with scarcity and a rapidly growing field, and that it's nowhere near as hard, or as societally valuable as what teachers, medical professionals and care-givers do?

[Virtuoso Performance @VirtPerformance]

@SamirTalwar It'd be interesting to see age demographics - how many old fogeys like me are there who say "Terminal" because we started out working on physical terminals (e.g., VT100s)?
