A lovely stack overflow answer to "why use C++ over C", particularly the ending. I agree that there's no language that shields you from misuse. Spaghetti Python is still a nightmare to refactor and I've seen (and written) some pretty ugly Go

team monorepos > language/tech monorepos.

most teams are inherently multi-tech/language which means having like 5 massive codebases open at once to end-to-end trace a system :(

[Derek @derek_arg]

how dare they

[Derek @derek_arg]

lol the go source code comments have various "hall of shame" references for OSS projects using Go internals that they're not supposed to

bay area humans saw this daily and decided to invent b2b saas

@MONSTERBRYTON @hannah_flom yeah exactly, i agree the stark contrast is that Vance and his team are incredibly incompetent.

@ThomasAlxDmy everyone loves to hate it but it’s the industry standard for a reason 🤷‍♂️

i also miss confluence too! but i sure don’t miss Teams :P

[Derek @derek_arg]

using asana at the new gig and ngl i miss jira

@BasedDaedalus “review” != “praise”, and I appreciate the healthy skepticism of all the new tech, especially AI gadgets

Rewrite it in Rust is now an official DARPA program :).

[Derek @derek_arg]

or maybe an indicator of a lacking stdlib, e.g needing a 3rd party to make an http request

[Derek @derek_arg]

rust’s dependency management is great, but maybe too good. feel’s node-esque that my simple project pulled > 300 crates for one framework

[Derek @derek_arg]

Anyone besides Cloudflare using Pingora in production?

airlines will never show the only time that actually matters: when boarding ends

[Derek @derek_arg]

like i knew this conceptually & hypothetically but after sitting down and starting a project, i’m excited to write more rust

[Derek @derek_arg]

ok rust is pretty great

[Derek @derek_arg]

i remember the good ‘ol days when houston could take a category 1 hurricane and worst case you got to skip a day of school.

At IAH today all the talk around me was who’s still waiting for power to come back on 😕

[Derek @derek_arg]

huh, it's been a year since the last commit to OpenTSDB, 3 years since the last release

[Derek @derek_arg]

ok i found a spark ✨ got something to work on on this flight

[Derek @derek_arg]

been trying to get back into coding for fun, but it's been so long and i have analysis paralysis... everything i think of already exists, which shouldn't be a deterrent 🤷‍♂️

[Derek @derek_arg]

recurse center sounds pretty fun, maybe after this next job

[Derek @derek_arg]

@DejaCoup @IanColdwater personal data is more valuable than subscription fees

[Kevin Bankston @KevinBankston]

Just pulled up my tax return in @Google Docs--and unbidden, Gemini summarized it. So...Gemini is automatically ingesting even the private docs I open in Google Docs? WTF, guys. I didn't ask for this. Now I have to go find new settings I was never told about to turn this crap off.
