I agree! I have kept an eye on Elm for many years, I think the simplicity and architecture is great, but the language itself never clicked for me.
Then I was made aware of Lustre[1], an Elm inspired web framework in Gleam. I have done two small projects in it now and I really enjoy working with both Lustre and Gleam.
I used to log my weight lifting in an app but I found it really distracting and time consuming so I gave up.
For the last few weeks I have been bringing a small notebook and doing my logging by pen and paper instead. I find it much more relaxing and I only use it to check what weights I used last time, so I don't really miss anything.
Whitesmiths, if I remember correctly was used in Symbian C++. I remember I found it quite odd (as most things in Symbian) when I started using it. But, it grew on me and I actually thought it improved the readability.
Even if the last thing going through my head before sleep is related to programming (which is quite often the case), I cannot remember having dreamed of computers, ever.
> MongoDB operates in the space as a leader in non-relational database solutions, managing data formats across text, video, and more to support businesses.

It is. Every now and then when we have guests at home we bring out the board and it is an immediate success. Age does not seem to matter, I have played with people between 10 to 80 years old everyone gets the mechanics within a few minutes.
I am not a fan of comparing bad software with erosion or organic decay. It's feels like avoiding responsibility. Software is software, it is made worse by people, nothing else.
Absolutely agree. I just finished a project were where users can design / construct solutions in a specific domain in either 2D or 3D, with support for exporting CAD and STP.
The user works with rich domain objects that limit the possibilities to what actually works or is practice; much like a game level builder. This allows non-experts to design solutions in this particular domain, which of course is great for business / sales.
Apparently ID3 included some strange frames such as the Popularimeter (POPM) for storing emails and ratings! lawik goes through some om them in this post which I found entertaining.
Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy reading these types of articles.
I was a bit surprised to see Perforce being used (I'm not a game developer), I have not come across it since the early 2000s. From what I recall it was very good dealing with merges.
