It needs to work

Very true, we do like our bicycles

They don’t have 50+ hours of mandatory training before hitting the roads like we do. In some states you can practically just go to an exam and luck out.

Their perception of freedom is messed up and literally causing huge amounts of unnecessary deaths.

The only thing that sucks about npm are when package dependencies are not updated and dependency hell becomes very real, but that’s not really the fault of the package manager.

Yeah, fuck virtual environments and different Python versions.

I think it works great. At least I’m don’t have to deal with Python

It’s an idiot thing is what it is

This is a bit of a stretch I think…

Web development is complicated because it’s indredibly poorly “designed” from the beginning, and doing a full redo is impossible.

It is 100x easier today than it was in 2006 when I started.

Kidding aside, I think the popular frameworks these days are incredibly well made. Frontend web has always been hell, and if your job is producing functional web GUIs, you can’t do it on a large scale without them.

I’m doing a small hobby project (a ladder/ranking system for playing beer sports with my community), and I tried out Tailwind.

I gave up and loaded Bootstrap instead, but I will probably end up just writing all the CSS myself.

Seems so silly to have 15 CSS classes on a single DOM element…

If you spend a lot of time on a single framework, you will transcend and become a sort of frontend diety, growing multiple extra limbs allowing you to type in CSS classes faster than any mere mortal

I almost exclusively used both through Android with Chromecast, and I must say, I’ve had way more trouble with Emby than Plex.

Also on smart TVs, the Plex apps just have way fewer issues in my experience.

I honestly still use Perl for small scripts as a Bash alternative. It is very powerful and is already installed everywhere. I just try not to use it for things others might have to work on…

I shudder at the thought of the ancient 1000+ lines Perl scripts… The seal must not be broken

Time for a full day of listening to SOAD, thanks

Time for a new mission to rescue Bill!

8 missions and 8 dead pilots later: ah fuck it
