@ChShersh The more experience you get, the less the programming language matters.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Probably not even all trivial problems are solved yet.

@skdh If AC is forbidden, why not install an air-to-air heat pump? I've heard that heat pumps are super ecological.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh That's why so much p-hacking goes undetected.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Or both?

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@neogoose_btw Will it find a grain in my coffee?

@agamemnus_dev @DanielW_Kiwi Valid point. I was thinking about event-driven programming on a lower level.

Not sure if event-driven programming fills the place of AOP, though. It was more about cross-cutting concerns.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@agamemnus_dev @DanielW_Kiwi Event-driven programming is the opposite of separation of concerns: everything goes into the same event loop. Maybe async/await is what allows to separate these concerns - with COMEFROM implicitly called on IO wait - but that is coroutines, not AOP.

@vivoplt Car car = new Car(); also pays you money.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Is it harmony-safe?

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Wow, Stonehenge was looking completely different before C++23!

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh @DanielW_Kiwi Following Mr. Kiwi on X, I guess it's meat pie.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Intelligent: Haskell
Smart: C++

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Some use a comb, others C++.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh Nothing adult about that. You are not adult until you have children.

@ChShersh Handling dates using Datetime with servers running in different timezones. Arbitrarily adding 23h to avoid the date being set back one day on the downstream system. The fun of enterprise programming.

[Christian Hofer @chmhofer]

@ChShersh @rev_proxy Especially the part in the middle...

@valigo I liked the idea of Powershell. Looked like the right approach to scripting. But somehow, for small tasks, bash in the WSL is simpler. And for bigger tasks, I find Python easier to use.
I am still using Powershell, because that's what everyone in the company has installed...
