i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough.
exhibit a:
- I sucked at math → became a cs major at harvey mudd
- terrible runner my whole life → just finished an ultramarathon
- too shy to call & order pizza → now I host events
- too homesick as a kid for sleepovers → moved across the country & now solo-travel across the world
I literally bought huge books and read them and programmed from them. Also a good amount of fucking around and finding out too.
Also read a ton of source code. I still don’t understand why devs don’t read source code much. Reading WP source and later rails source taught me a lot

Good news: we are officially in “this can wait until after the holidays” range
Damn my FYP is a dumpster fire now. Thirsty or trash takes about dating from people that need to touch grass, grow up, or both.
That’s what I get for overindulging in reading about myself lol. Give me back my crypto, programming, and travel tweets plz

Great article. I agree with a lot of the points the author makes, and I think a lot of it comes from a combination of the VC model, pushing for unsustainable winner-take-all scenarios, served with a side of falling standards of software.

Every time I read takes like this I’m curious what kind of experience the poster has with software engineering

Technology choice for developers is a fashion choice. (Even superior) unfashionable tech loses. Fashionable tech wins.
It’s annoying but has been true for at least the past 30 years.
The people that say AI is going to replace software engineers are outing themselves as the ones that create the most tech debt at their company.
AI’s are great boilerplate writers and rubber ducks. And there is tremendous value in that.
But they are not good software engineers.

For the developers out there: what are good examples of well factored and decent sized react applications in production that are open source?
Like what @Ghost or @discourse is for @emberjs
Bonus points for an OS React Native app in production.

Shame on Trustwell
@US_FDA shouldn’t this kind of behavior be illegal?
Consumers should have a right to know and search the nutritional facts of foods they consume.

Living in cities like Copenhagen, San Francisco, and San Diego, I have realized that I need to live in a city that inspires me just by existing in it, living my daily life.
Copenhagen is beautiful and serene, bustling with bikes and people. Surrounded by culture and history.

When most of your time living somewhere is insulated, you can’t participate in that culture. Compound that over your entire population, and you have a city that is devoid of substance. Only characterized by the weather and the small population of culture drivers
