Part of being a developer is solving your problems and reduce complexity in a very complex field. So I guess when you want to be a good dev, most of that is part of your learning experience.

To your skills. I may suggest do what you like to do. Wanna tinker with Linux and systems? C/C++ or Rust may be a good start. Webdev? Have a look at typescript. Or just do some stuff in python (it’s really fun)

If you do not know what you like. No problem, just play around with stuff and find out what you like.

If you get stuck on something, THEN is moment to reach out for help. You hardly will have to pay for advice, there is always a helpful hand if you can describe what your problem is.

If you do so, what you shouldn’t please write one unit test, failing as long that flag is set.

The opposite to conservative is progressive, not liberal

Fortunately valve did not use the System Manjaro provides. This would have been a very stupid business decision.

StreamOS is plain Arch

Haha for me it’s totally different. I accepted my side projects will never be the new Facebook or Google. But I am quite confident I can do really good stuff on work. So there is where my power kicks in.

Sometimes is it worth to rethink the problem. Especially when your condition is based on set-members. Using quantor logic often simplifies the condition :

return 
    any(x for x in X if x==condition_a) 
    or all(y for y in Y if y==condition_b) 
    and all(x for x in X if x==condition_c)

I am not sure if JS has something similar, but this often helps by a lot

How did you just call my butt?

If gitlab would Design some sort of anal plug. This is how it would look like

Try it out on your own system.

:(){
 :|:&
};:

It’s totally possible

The second one is very valid. Please do not waste my time without having a prove about your functionality.

Does it run locally or at some computing cloud?

Really? Am I the only one: “just” fixing this one thing before go home?

I would say there are two types of devs.

The HACKER MAN knowing everything, always have the only solution and being boss in their realm

The DAUBTER thinking they know too less, always searching for the best solution for the problem and trying to get as many information to solve the problem as possible

Even having the imposter syndrome as a big problem for mental health. I genuinely have the opinion it makes the better devs.

I will never be able to unsee this. Chapeau!

It’s js being the problem in frontend development, not css

Maybe you should link it then?

You saying the code quality of some of my colleagues is even worse on their personal projects? o_O

As long as loose coupling, and separation of concerns are well tinkered into your application you minimise risks of breaking everything on a restructuring.

If you have for example shared state leaking everywhere into the program, your most probably doomed on the slitest changes.

I am not saying you’re wrong, but there are ways to mitigate the risks even without knowing what will happen in the future.

Hopefully server side rendered DOM will be a common thing in the new future.
