mehphp

I think that’s what he’s saying: That they jumped from php to another hot mess. At least that’s how I read it.

I suspect that, like rails, it is simple at first but then becomes quite complex as the project grows or you want to do something that goes against the grain of the framework.

Getting excited and then jumping all in on new frameworks has bitten me more than once.

Yes, fortunately I’m not depending on it

Nice! I need to set something up like this.

I’m the same way, something about the graphics is just perfect. Similar to Factorio for me.

Yes, this is how Elixir Phoenix works. The caveat is that only returns exactly what needs to be changed, so it's a small diff.

It's not suitable to everything, but it works really well. I'm not advocating switching to it right now, but it's looking very promising.

One of those is not like the others. I see no issue leaving a toilet seat up.

It's just as easy for the next person to put it down as it was for me to put it up.

Not to sound harsh, but given how rare something like this, I doubt it's urgent enough of a problem for the funds/effort it would require.

Mindfulness meditation just requires you to keep bringing your attention back to _something_. The breath is just a very convenient option.

Really? I haven't had a single query rejected.

> And god save us if this AI thing will actually take off. It's dumb but it's progressing.

I don't see how it does anything but progress. I obviously have no idea how long it will take before it can replace a software engineer but after playing around with ChatGPT and seeing the code it can create, it's definitely progressing faster than I thought it would.

This has been my take as well. I can drill-down into third-party packages, rename stuff across files, and use the debugger.

I'm not saying JetBrains isn't fantastic, their products certainly are, but the examples given as to why I should switch are less than convincing. Just use whatever works for you.

It's similar to the flak I get for using an iPhone instead of Android. "You can't customize it!"... I don't want to.. I just want it to make phone calls and browse the web.

No, you just misunderstood the comment. They are saying that workers are always hit with the "the free market will sort everything out" when workers are suffering but the same concept doesn't seem to apply in a worker's market.

As a customer, I have preferred this when it's an option. My order is wrong less often and I'm not sitting around waiting for a check when I'm ready to leave.

I’ll third that. It was so much fun!

Supposedly there will be a Netflix adaptation.

Well it sure feels like they work on the former and not the latter.

This question kind of shocks me. We do allow, very limited, screen-time but the concept of having no idea what to do with the kids without a screen is jarring to say the least.

Ok, but that doesn’t explain why Musk himself specifically said this was ok.

Whatever you think of Elon up until this point, I don't see how you can find him reliable/trustworthy. He specifically said that @elonjet was ok and then reversed course on that.

He's obviously a liar at minimum.

Someone is rich enough to buy a social platform to suspend an account he doesn't like. That's crazy.

He will definitely go to jail. He’s not a high-profile politician and he has harmed other rich people.

I don't think we have to worry about job security until/unless we achieve true AGI.

I said for the majority if people. Tech people like us, with nice salaries, are able to enjoy these things more than those who have to do the grunt work.

No matter how good automation gets, the government is going to lag way behind. I don’t foresee a transition to any sort of utopian era where everyone enjoys the fruits of automation. I think those at the top will continue to hoard the wealth because they own those systems.

I agree the automation is happening, but I'm not seeing the part where it leads to better lives for the majority of people.

You can always "vote" by leaving a company, too.

> Emplyoment in general only works because the employees in many cases actually care about the quality of their work and not only about themselves

I do see what you're saying, but I don't think that quality of work and caring about oneself only are mutually exclusive.

You can care about the quality of your work without really caring about the fate of a particular company. Employees with great output are in high demand, so you know that you can just continue somewhere else.

I happen to care about the quality of my work and the company, but even then, the company's future (unless I own it) comes way below my own needs (thinking of my family here in particular).

I don't think it's possible to make a significant portion of your workforce altruistically care about the company. Hence, the original commenter's suggestion is that managers are responsible for correctly incentivizing workers.

Sure you can when you are talking about staying in for the long haul. The market has always gone back up and if it doesn’t, we’ll have far greater problems to worry about than our 401k.

He addresses this exact thing in his list. It's a good time to buy even more, VTSAX is effectively on sale if you are in it for the long haul.

Time in the market > timing the market.

I did do this, there were a lot of great people on my team but it paid (a lot) less and is more stressful than just building another CRUD app.

Nothing crazy, but I built a Shopify app years ago that some customers say is “crucial” to running their store.

It’s not making me rich but it feels good knowing it’s legitimately helping people run their business.
