IMO an engineer should be able to develop a complex system which an entire company could potentially be based upon.

A developer who isn’t an engineer would focus more on individual libraries, apps or tools that don’t necessarily require the mindset of an engineer to design and maintain.

This looks like a lot of fun to use, I loved the example from What If, so many units!

Pro tip: If your code gets flogged by git, you can always get revenge with git reflog 😉

Hiding under a huge pile of Beans 😂

It has gone so wrong because liberalism has failed. We need political movements which serve the people, not the corporations.

The text is just completely incorrect in this case. “Hold your finger” doesn’t in any way instruct the user to use the fingerprint scanner so the developer shouldn’t be surprised that its not understood.

Programmers are probably chill af, looks like a very bad day for some network people though.

Only if it’s specified and documented as part of a contract with the user. If they’re relying on internal implementation details, well that’s a good lesson for them not too do that.

I watched this entire “teaser” and still have no fucking clue what this product even is

There are some massive intrinsic advantages of the CLI though, that apply for everyone, not just leetcoders:

• The terminal can remember everything you ever did. Forgotten the command you wrote 2 months ago? You can do a search for it with a tool like fzfand run the exact same command again.
• Communicating with others. GUI programs require step by step instructions, often accompanied by screenshots while CLI may be copy/pasted.
• Combining programs together. There are a few different techniques for combining CLI programs to search/format output, use secrets without ever having them in the clipboard or on disk, monitor something frequently/constantly etc etc

So while I agree with you that there’s plently of elitism around the CLI, you do yourself a disservice if you try to avoid it.

Thank fuck! I’m so sick of rebasing and merging Dependabot PRs.

Because then when someone else suggests the same thing you can say that its in the backlog 😉

This is the way 🤝

IMO it’s good to have a “shadow backlog” for stuff like this. Keep the actual backlog for prioritised product work, “ideas” and tech debt can be kept in GitHub Issues or even just a wiki page somewhere.

Sexist rubbish

Gradle is absolute rubbish, definitely the worst experience I’ve had with a build system. But Maven is also rubbish.

IMO a CLI should be the primary way of interacting with the build system (see e.g. Go, Rust, JS with NPM or Yarn, Python with Poetry) and manually editing the build file should be reserved for edge cases and extensions.

Wow what a great video, wish it was longer!

Hmmm, I’m not diagnosed but the number of things that are familiar to me is… impressive 🙃

Wait, can people actually work at an even pace?!

Your naïveté is admirable, but also entirely ignorant of the realities of the “free” “market” which is anything but.
