sporedro··on Vex – open-source visual editor for XML
Interesting, just wondering are people still using eclipse often for its extensibility?

I checked a year ago or 2 on the plug-in situation and it sorta looked like a abandoned wasteland. IntelliJ seems to have absorbed most Java devs, while new tools such as VScode are the new go to for customization.

It even feels like eclipse foundation was abandoning eclipse a bit, as it’s pushing its web based tools…

sporedro··on My approach to taking notes in meetings
It's funny but I find when trying to scribble everything said down I'm not actively listening and comprehending anything that's being said just trying to copy words down.

I've found listening and jotting down short concise notes every now and than about something important is the best.

sporedro··on TikTok owner ByteDance sees its earnings double in 2020
I agree, I don't get the comparison of Facebook to like YouTube or tiktok they're all different things... While YouTube and google may try to add features similar to Facebook and Facebook may add features similar to them I feel they're not in the same category... There's almost "personal social media" with Facebook and Instagram than just "social media" like tiktok, YouTube, even this site... I guess things like Twitter fall somewhere in the middle.
sporedro··on Developers can't fix bad management (2020)
I agree, you need a manager, but through my limited experience I feel as though the issue is developers are mostly detached from the buisness end of things. When things go wrong or some issue occurs I've always had managers step in to aid from the buisness side. You almost need a manager who has developer experience like yourself to make for a good manager. I suppose even a manager who is able to understand the general overview of what the developers are doing would be good.

Basically it seems the average manager in buisness would be a bad fit to manage developers. overall a manager is still needed for sure. I guess its the same everywhere though a bad manager vs a good manager makes a world of difference.

sporedro··on Amazon refused to refund $7k after shipping an empty box instead of a Sony A1
Strange I would assume that $5k to them is still nearly nothing. I've never ordered anything over $1k from Amazon and never had an issue with refunds due to issues but I guess they have a cutoff somewhere. I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to order something expensive like that.
sporedro··on Vim Modes Transition Diagram
Wow this is really cool! A lot of commands are just muscle memory at this point, but seeing things visualized like this is really neat.
sporedro··on My experience binding a couple of scripting engines with C++
The indexing starting at 1 is something that has always annoyed me. I just haven't seen any other language make that decision, and I'm not sure the reasoning for it really outweighs the fact every other language just goes with 0 due to the origin of it.

Lua is a great language for sure though.

sporedro··on Sublime Text 4
I don't think sublime really compares to IDE's like vscode and jetbrains products.

It sorta is in just the text editing realm similar to vim and emacs. Sure it can do more but I feel like it's not fair to compare it. That said sublime text is probably the only text editor I ever used that comes even close to competing with vim and emacs for text editing.
