Now it is: No Internet = No Coding. Then: No Internet = Who needs this shit?!
Addiction is the power of Facebook and nothing more.
To fight with Facebook you have to set up another social media addiction that will dominate the market and expect that after a few years it will not be the same again...
I'm not and don't exaggerate with this. I don't mind if someone commute for a an hour and a half to work and reads a book, skim the news news or prepare for work meeting. This is not the point here.
It just hurts me as I see people who evidently met to spend time together and for 40 minutes did not exchange words but they scroll through instagram or facebook all the time and I am a witness to such situations constantly.
But this is not a thread about it, anyway I think that the AR deserves better times and much more convenient equipment than the phone in hand.
BBC app is awesome it could be way more awesome when using a smart glasses but we don't have them yet. I'm waiting for that day... :)
For instance compared to talking with each other. Didn't you spot that at every bar? Snapchat or Facebook Messenger are the main sources of communication now even for people who sit side by side. But probably I'm closed minded and I do not see a bigger picture.
I just wait for someone to fall under the car collecting gold circles...
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, AR have a huge potential but not for flying emojis or playing RPG games running all over the city like a maniac with a huge phone.
Also on r/golang there are not too many comments. It seems to me that this is a problem of the entire golang community, nobody wants or have time to comment... this language makes you lazy. :)
Apple never was design for being pro. Also argument about cost is silly. Apple products cost almost the same as high-end computers are Samsung flagship phones. Don't forget about high price of Microsoft products... World is about money and that will never change and voice of pro users will never be heard as they don't make that much money on you.
To emphasize, I'm not an Apple fanboy.
It's hard to even comment on the fact that if the phone is locked, you can't safely leave the building during the alam because you are afraid that something will happen to him... or your contacts in cloud. :)
Now the majority will not survive 5 days without a telephone because someone will surely die, someone will get lost, a terrorist attack will happen, or world will be hit by the meteorite...
Yes, I have a phone, but I do not take it with me, and I do not use it when I do not have to... and it's not a smartphone. :)
If someone don't want to use VIM modal editing why not to stay with Sublime/Atom/VSCode or any other editor? They also have very rich plugins ecosystem. Not mentioning that Sublime is like crazy fast...
To clarify it's not an attack on anyone. For instance evil mode in emacs is also a heart breaking plugin for me. Every editor is made for different workflow, why on earth mix them up? And in most cases it does not work very well.
For me Getting Real is saying one thing "Don't think to much... Just fuckin' do it!". :)

For years I watch how many medium articles, websites or self-appointed internet gurus write about the same thing over and over again... with very weak effect.
It's nothing personal, yet I don't like that chat look that force me to click and click to read something.
BTW. U make super advanced website for "Your estimated cost for this project is £1800"?
Many Software Engineers reach for Adderall or Ritalin to help them with this.

My point here is only to learn first and extend further. Not throw yourself into high water with SpaceVim and than say how much vim or neovim is bloated.
Coding. This deserves way more recognition than it gets. Having function signatures, documentation, overloads, types available IN-YOUR HEAD while you type saves so much work from programming and is essential to delivering correct code. If you want to be an effective programmer, you need to stop relying only on autocompletion.
And as always.. have a nice day!
