I’m nihilistic so keep that bias in mind with the rest of this:
Life is a beautiful nightmare. Death is inevitable and worrying about it does nothing positive for you. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with accepting death before it comes 👍
Hmm one is fairly standard and the other is heavily invested in scala
Across the US, struggling friends are closer to the east coast of the US
Anecdotally, the vast majority of my developer buddies are gainfully employed, but a couple talented old hands who have been employed for 10+ years are struggling to find jobs.
Very interested in this, missing some key features for my use cases but excited to see how it matures!
Includes this and many other frameworks

A slang term that means “stop striving”, I’d say it’s loosely akin to the phrase “quiet quitting” but a bit more general.
I would say we all have thoughts without language with varying levels of frequency, think about moments where you or others have said “ah i know what I want to say but forgot the word”
Insightful, I’ve found that most people change their answers at least slightly after having time to observe their thoughts for a while, we are geniuses at believing our own conjectures.
Not everyone does, I’ve had a lot of conversations with a lot of people on this topic.
People’s thought processes range from monologue to dialog to narration to silence to images to raw concepts without form.
I personally do not have a constantly running monologue, but rather have relatively short bursts of thought interspersed with long periods of silence.
Jquery is a swear word in professional front end contexts, the replacement is transpilation and dropping ie support.
Personally I used jquery up until react and babel got hot, now I never touch the dom directly with jquery and no longer have a need for the polyfill features as I rely on babel preset-env to support the browsers we have selected (especially for things like promises/async await/es6+ features)
if everything is classical, a whole lot of stuff is going to be tough to explain like quantum superposition as it’s used in modern qubits, or quantum tunneling experiments that have proven effective. Heck I’m even interested in the double slit experiment explanation in the context of these fluctuations from the paper
When I started out at about 14 I found a few programming books that really helped at my local library. It’s really tough to keep motivated as a kid, but if you give him tools and help him find joy in the process he’ll push himself to the finish line.
Good on you for supporting your kid, my parents told me to get off the computer and go outside every time they “caught” me programming.
Favorite for quick tasks: javascript, the last few years of ecmascript features make it an incredibly productive language.
Favorite for hobby stuff: rust, but with caveats. I miss default parameters, I dislike the syntax soup, the async system has too many “standards” (see xkcd on competing standards)
Favorite for work: javascript/typescript. Having my team be fully capable of working on any part of our competencies with just one language is huge. Sharing code between front end and backend, across products, and easily finding developers all make it an easy choice.
Least favorites:
Php: magic quotes? Golang: using casing to establish public vs private? Objective-C: the worst combo of every one of it’s predecessors Java: forcing the paradigm of everything is an object causes so much boilerplate Vb5/6/a: triggering a button with = True, using a single equals for both assignment and equality, callbacks are an absolute nightmare
Now that is a god damn unpopular opinion, but I feel like it’s worth downvoting because unpopular opinion does not imply the op should be a dick about it.
Fuck capitalism, the world may never recover from our obsession with it
