Trailing spouse | - writing about software

If you write software, you have to watch this.

Lots of people have asked about that primer on Christopher Alexander that I shared in 2020. It's back up on YouTube now.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@matsonj I finally got a job, where I share an office with 2 other people. It's such an upgrade over the open office. Guess what? I spend most of my time outside the office, working on the servers.

@juliomagoga @threepointone "Hi, how are you?"
"Yea, that seems feasible. We just need to check a few things but let's do this."
"I'll be presenting at the demo."
"See you tomorrow"

@tob1aswutz @trashh_dev It didn't have a use when it first hit 1k. I don't understand what's different now. Except maybe that the currency is no longer decentralised. Actually, it did make more sense when it was only 1k.

@melissa I haven't read this but isn't it simply true that women do a shit ton of extra labour? For example, keeping track of his family's birthdays etc. if she doesn't, he won't and then she'll get shit for it from his family. Much similar cases.

@pikuma Smh EE undergrads don't learn how to fab their own SoCs these days.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@hunvreus @htmx_org And incredibly chaotic too. If there were no downsides, Rails would not exist. No frameworks brings a host of other issues. My main side-project uses NestJS and HTMX, btw.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@hunvreus @htmx_org The look and feel of the website is hands down my favourite feature. I don't want to be excited, I want to RETVRN to building.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@htmx_org I studied Electronics and Electrical Engineering at uni and I had a good time. Leaving embedded software was a great decision and I have 0 regrets. The amount of self-hate embedded requires is beyond my understanding. I hate CMake too.

@code_department I am currently trying (and giving up) to learn Scala, so technically the same thing as Haskell. And I gotta say, Go feels much more chill. I really like monads but why fight the type system? Just check for error.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@pvukovic @ejames_c Well, I guess I know which subscription I am cancelling. I don't make the rules 🤷

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@ejames_c Fine! I'll start doing DPIs😤

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@htmxlabs Our codebase is so well separated into microservices by concern that we hit an IP limit on AWS and GitLab hides jobs because there's too many of them. Things are ~fine~.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@matsonj Let them grill

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@htmx_org I like that this goes beyond "CC === bad" and gives specific ideas. Very cool.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@htmx_org Could you explain for us younglings, please?

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@code_department I wish authors would very clearly state the initial motivating problem and users would only apply it to that or the nearest possible thing. Scala, for example, is a Haskell tier language. Influential but isn't meant to solve real problems.

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@bravelyjake @AdamRackis Most BEAM jobs are found through networking, right?

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@lufthansa hire me and I'll fix this 💪

[Jan Gebauer @geb_jan]

@HSVSphere lol, lmao even
