Used to take creative writing classes there in college. It’s beautiful, just make sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting covered in mud and try not to go after a big rain because it will flood. Temperature is around 70 year round and it’s mostly hiking. Take a headlamp and a friend, tell someone where you are going, and have fun. Really incredible experience.
I think it’s a matter of expectations. I use stock Ubuntu and GNOME and have almost zero customizations. I haven’t touched it except to upgrade since 2018 and have had zero issues. I get it though. I also use an M1 and love it.
I keep count! If I know I had 4 ideas on a run, I can usually bring them back to mind if I focus. Even holding my fingers in the four position with one down helps. Sounds a little odd but I’ve found I do my best work while walking the dog/going for a run and can’t usually make notes until I get home.
Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an editor I know well, have configured, and can zip around in fast without touching the mouse. I never try to convince anyone else to use it, though if a coworker shows interest I'm more than happy to oblige. It's the right tool for me. VS Code and IntelliJ products are the right tools for others, and that's cool too.
Yeah, but man does he get some great guests from time to time. Really enjoyed Travis Oliphant and Todd Howard in addition to the ones the parent listed.
Appreciate the insight. All fair points. I guess part of the problem is inertia and comfort level. You figure out how to do something well in one language and it gets harder to start from scratch in another one. Point is well made about the tooling and type system--I miss it when I work with anything else. But I end up accomplishing tasks much faster in Go than in Rust even if I'm not fighting the ownership system. I suppose these are the sorts of growing pains that go away in time.
We self host Mattermost and it works well. Logs are in Postgres which is nice. Building the React Native app was not super fun but we have some experience in that already which helped.
It's a good alternative for teams unwilling to shell out every month for a Slack subscription, if you're willing to put in the work to get it setup.
I’m horrible about this. I ask a question and then answer it, hold a whole conversation with myself and the poor recipient. Someone take away my Mattermost login!
Thanks for the insight! I am the team--everything before was done quite manually with spreadsheets. I already work in the organization but have been promoted out of development into this new role so I'm blessed to have a large amount of flexibility. It does seem like Python is the right tool for the job. Your perspective confirms my hunch.
This happened to me the other day with sqlx. Tried to duplicate the quick start example and got a slew of errors. I should make a ticket, maybe I did something wrong.
