I feel like the only people that "like" javascript or those that had it for their first language. Its needed, its better than it was, but compared to just about any other language its a total mess.
I allow my kids to plea their case anytime they disagree. They get one shot so i usually remind them of that and they usually disappear for a bit thinking their case through before coming back. Now i keep an open mind and hear there side on why whatever i just decided was unfair or why i was wrong.
If its a good case (or they argued it well) i change my mind. IF not then the answer is final. Period. There is never a second go. Now this seems harsh but you can't negotiate with terrorists. Once a decision is made the sooner they learn its whats happening the sooner they quit that trying to wear you down thing.
IF when discussed usually means fasting daily. So maybe your food window is only between 4 - 8 pm. The anti-aging stuff you saw/read (if its the same that i did) was more about actual fasting where you might not eat everyday and here they did find some linkage to aging.
Excluding chasing the shiny object (the javascript race you mentioned) lifetime learning is part of the job description. If you don't love to learn and to apply the things you have learned the tech industry really isn't for you.
Also 1-2 languages... that's really on the shallow end most devs, myself included, will learn a lot more than that and each new language is much easier to pick up then the previous ones.
However as you get more experience, at least for me, you tend to stick to a handful of languages that each cover a domain.
OO, Functional, Dynamic/static variants and a language/stack that allows fast prototyping of ideas.
Interesting blanket statement if not completely false. The only thing you can sort of assume is that those with liberal/left leanings are more likely to be teachers.
This is why i don't use pot. The smell destroyed my house. I had pancretitus and quit drinking and thought i would just smoke once in a while (smoked in high school but that was decades ago).
Bought some, put it in a zip lock bag, in a zip lock bag, in a zip lock bag, in a glass container, inside a gun safe. By the way i didn't start with this configuration by when i reached it and still could smell it everywhere i knew it had to go.
No thanks. Not opposed to using when out and someone has some but the smell was just to much to keep any in my house (this was an 8th).
If this isn't a joke thats messed up. If your not having the sex life you want with your SO figure out why generally there is something wrong in the relationship and fix it.
Is SO just tired and dead at the end of the day? Help them more, delegate out anything that you can to 3rd party services (not as expensive as you would think).
The obvious one, send the kids somewhere, go out on date.
That all being said. if this real i highly doubt it even works.
I was one of the developers years ago. You find your language ORM library and away you go happy coding. It was only after running into some performance issues and other bottle necks that i put my head down and spent a week learning the DB (granted its not a long time but you can learn A LOT about SQL and your DB in 40 hours).
Not only did it solve my bottle neck issues it just made it very apparent that there are a lot of things ORM do that make everything harder. They have their place but working with the DB/SQL/Triggers/Views/Mat Views/ ... improved my applications greatly.
Now years later anytime i am working with a new developer i always stress that they at least learn the basics.
