I’m not, because I take my time and write good code. I make complex systems manageable with C*

C isn’t even suitable for such abstract abominations and you still blame it for killing Bambi. What gives?

Who among us isn't jamming some bespoke little semantic thing inside a string just y'know for debugging purposes nbd and it's way faster than recompiling right?

These bugs will continue to happen as long as you C shame people, too.

Personally if I’m going to be forced by the language to add a layer of indirection, I’d rather use the exact same one on every project than have to invent a new one every single time 🙃

NARRATOR: it wasn’t the actual unnecessary layer of indirection, because unlike tailwind, it was merely a name.

“Tailwind is an unnecessary extra layer of abstraction, just use CSS.”

…as if having to invent some custom project specific class name like `.project-title-wrapper` just to assign `display: flex` isn’t the actual unnecessary layer of indirection 😵‍💫😄

You've got to like a language that absolutely refuses to compile tabs. #ziglang #IoT

what i wanna know is why theyre promoting the MP4 audio container format for AAC

that attitude will earn you a first-class ticket to the ranks of zimbabwe and timor-leste.

blaming catastrophic failure of governance on the one guy who used to do anything before leaving your godforsaken state.

never change, cali.

open source needs to realise that they are labour cows for FAANG and grow a brain.

No one is paying the log4j2 maintainers!?

There is a whole page on the responsibilities of a @TheASF "Project Management Committee"... AND NO ONE IS PAYING THEM? https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html

Open Source needs to grow the hell up. Yesterday.
