Syntax isn’t everything but …

I’m an elitist asshole and I hate that people say “react dev” when really it’s “web dev that uses react”

I use Ubuntu professionally and Arch at home

Anything that’s not Windows is my preference.

I love arch because I know what’s in it and how to fix it and what to expect, the community is mostly very nice and open to help

AUR is great and using pacman feels lovely

I also care about learning and understanding the system I’m using beyond just using a GUI that does everything for me

Ubuntu is not bad it’s probably one of the most used distros by far

Linux motto is: Use what you like and customize it how you like because there is no company forcing you to do things their way

Me pretty much only ever using arch Linux: “what the fuck is a flatpak”

I once had to install Firefox into wsl (Ubuntu) and I wanted the kms on the spot.

But maybe it’s not that bad for newer people to get started with Linux.

ND answer is because the dev made the Human class before abstracting everything into the Entity class, dog should extend a game entity and not inherit the human animation behavior.

Dolph Lundgren also smells crime, and when he’s not out fighting crime …

I guess those words are forming a sentence or more

I’ve used raw CSS for the last 2 years at work and it’s not like it’s magically better or my productivity is higher or that it is simpler to read and understand.

Use the tool that works for you, tailwind is fine.

Oracle can fuck off

3.5mm is by far the better option for literally every reason headphones are designed for

the only argument is when exercising, some people prefer to use wireless for the kinda of workouts they do

Ive always hated phones without the 3.5mm and won’t stop even if all phone manufacturers remove it

TL;DR: Smart sibling ahead of the curve told me in 2011 that tech jobs will be the future and naturally I didn’t listen, fast forward to 2016 and my contract job laid me off so I started learning Python (as advised by smart sibling)

I start making all sorts of stupid stuff mostly CLI programs, beginner alg problems. beginner alg console games and so on.

Suddenly I realize I probably know enough to make something real, start slowing learning new things and always think “hmm a real software dev probably does x” and then try x.

Went from CLI stuff to web APIs, then full stack websites, then platform specific gui programs, then learning C++.

And at some point it clicked that this stuff is a lot easier than I thought (I had literally no concept of what programming was before)

I apply for an associates in tech program, just before starting I decide to use Linux to get more familiar with dev technology.

I picked Arch Linux btw, had some issues btw, overcame issues btw and then I landed a job during school as a dev and I kept using Linux as dev.

So it was mostly about getting to understand dev landscape more

I use CachyOS on my desktop (I game), and Arch Linux on laptop (by far the best laptop user experience with tiling wm)

I’m on x11 so I guess I’ll have to find out tonight if it works or not

as of when ? using what method of using discord, browser or the electron app? ? under x11 or Wayland?

I know there’s dozen ways to screen share but I mostly care about discord and discord screen sharing doesn’t work on Linux, curiously enough if you get obs to create a virtual camera of whatever you want to stream it will stream it flawlessly. Use the default way of streaming anything and it craps out

It works for them because their work is high skill and always useful, general office work like mine (dev) is impossible to find a job if you were to immediately quit. It’s quite different when you’re competing against thousands of cheap IT graduates looking to flock to your country and work for pennies on the dollar.

BTW not saying I’m anti immigration, it’s just the way the tech space is right now.

Not American but I’ve heard American companies hire foreigners because they can wage slave them with Visa entrapment, no Visa and you’re deported. People that are trying to improve their life are just taken advantage of.

I haven’t heard of anything like that happening to tradespeople

I’ve unironically come around to think that people worshipping the sun were not wrong

The sun’s pretty awesome

It may as well be our God. Sun dies out ? No chance of life.

We’ve created this hell for ourselves

My mental health would have been so much better if my parents knew that you can infact communicate without yelling over each other.

and by “it” I mean … well … my pipeline
