  • I started with C++ and went to Java to .NET to Javascript and now to Terraform.

    I know this is all a joke but there’s something definitely different with the ones above and the ones below. There’s a bit of satisfaction you can get sometimes when you’re working with memory directly and getting faster feedback (yes, there’s more math back then and it wasn’t easy to look stuff up, for sure). However, there’s new challenges nowadays … there’s so many layers on top of layers. I feel as though Stack Overflow and ChatGPT are so needed because the error messages and things we give are obfuscated or unclear (not always any library author’s fault as there’s compatibility issues, etc)

    We’re doing serverless stuff at my current company and none of our devs run code locally. They have to upload it using CDK or Serverless Framework to run on the cloud. We don’t use SST so we can’t set breakpoints but like that’s a lot of crap inbetween just running your code already. Not even getting into the libraries and transpilers and stuff we use. I spent like a few weeks over Christmas to get our devs to run the code locally. Guess what? None of them use it because they’re so use to uploading it. I was like, "you can put breakpoints in it! you can have nodemon and it instant reloads! nope, none of them care … "



  • I mean there’s a list of actors that have ruined their shows for me:

    • Danny Masterson
    • Bill Cosby
    • Kevin Spacey
    • James Franco
    • Kevin Sorbo
    • Tom Cruise

    So it’s not really what you asked because these are ones that I used to love and no longer do.

    For the dumbest reasons, I can’t enjoy Gal Gadot. Her acting is repellent to me for some reason. Yes, she’s absolutely gorgeous but the acting ain’t great. I also didn’t enjoy Heather Graham’s acting but then I watched her in Scrubs and the role was just perfect. I hated The Rock’s acting as well, but my ex had a crush on him so we watched so many of his movies. Almost all of them shite.

    For coding, I treat it as an overly enthusiastic junior-mid.

    It’s also great because I’m learning terraform and I just don’t want to look up the syntax. I just tell it to add something and it’ll do the lookup for me.

    It gets it wrong sometimes which is where I need to do the lookup but it definitely has its uses.

    I still don’t like saying how they’re both the same because I fundamentally don’t believe that to my core (ie if they had all three branches we wouldn’t be talking about all this current mayhem).

    However, I think I understand your point and I agree with it.

    So thanks again!

    Thanks for replying, I just recalled this:

    https://www.npr.org/2022/01/27/1075299510/the-expanded-child-tax-credit-briefly-slashed-child-poverty-heres-what-else-it-d

    Now we can say he failed but I can’t say that specific act is evil. Palestine on the other hand … ☠️

    Like, I get your viewpoints and you guys think I’m trying to bury any negative viewpoints of the democratic party or that I’m brainwashed. Which is funny to me because I hate the establishment Dems. I just think posts saying both suck and attacking the Dems aren’t helpful because they currently have no power. The other party is causing a lot of damage and there seems to be no stopping them so kicking the feckless Dems when they’re down seems weird to me.

    I also think the democratic party needs to be ousted by progressive candidates that have a good vision for the future. I’m not gonna lie though I don’t see it happening. The establishment Dems aren’t gonna bow down. Also, I see so many protests happening and although AOC and Bernie have made the news I don’t think I see the Dem leadership taking advantage of this and putting up a solid front either, like wtf is going on? I’m not sure it’s the coverage but it really seems like they’re lost.
