I got the uBlacklist Firefox extension specifically to block Pinterest from search results.

There’s a new Black Mirror episode about a brain implant that randomly injects ads into conversation without the consent or knowledge of the “user”.

I think they are talking about typescript which is compiled into javascript

Much the latter.

Plus everything better work perfecly out of the box on any hardware, and there is a lot of different hardware. Compatibility layers are often built into the package.

Java, for instance, recommenda that you package the whole (albeit slimmed down) JVM inside the package for the target platform, rather than relying on the java runtime installed already.

The users arent expected to know any of that anymore.

Just try it. You can usually convert a single file at a time. Start small (or even with a pet project)

Well that would also make it roll off…

…on my machine.

And fuck your versioning system. And you dependency management. And tooling. Why are there like five different projects trying to lock down the python environment? Conda? Venv?

Even Ubuntu tries to lock down python so that it doesn’t brick the install due to dependency conflicts.

I’m on the fence about that one.

Any professional would have a code repository and probably a build server which spits out binaries left and right, off site of course.

Bonus points if that is the easiest way to deploy the software, so all developers actually use it.

Edit: typo

Insomnia suddenly turned into a ransomware. Pay up or have all you dara lost!

A few days later Insomnium popped up supporting the old file format.

“It depends” is a good answer, and is in line with me questioning the above comment.

Here’s a link to a recent huge worldwide study: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/work#salary

I prefer to use statisics rather than anecdotal evidence. The stack overflow survey shows full stack pretty far down:

Why would you think full stack developers make more money in general?

“A”.reverse() === “A”

Might be because I’ve been reporting all sponsored content as spam.

It’s even worse when you can tell they really tried and still end up with spaghetti. Even mid- to senior developers do this. Rhe more senior they claim to be are, the more embarrasing when you have to get the stick.

Some people try to be so clever with fancy design patterns or bit-tricks, instead of just solving the problem, you now have two problems and a solution to one of them.

It’s actually the company’s problem. They usually opt to add more debt though, rather that wade through the old stuff.

In the end, all software sucks and should be replaced as soon as possible. Code quality is a lie we tell ourselves so that we can sometimes be proud of our work. It’s usually the code we are most proud of that is the worst. Design patterns everywhere making the vode overly convoluted and “future proof”. The only future proofing that happens is that no-one will understand it, so they won’t change it. Trying to design for the future usually makes it harder in the future.

This will lead to change fatigue. People will rather not cleanup as they go anymore and just get the work done, with worse and worse code quality as a result.
