tf? They should offer you a job if anything.

Yikes on the Nobara experience. Will avoid. Not that I ever felt the need to explore or hop beyond Arch. Discord as the main communication channel? That screams immature project IMO.

I have the same experience as you with Arch. In probably a decade of use I’ve only reinstalled when buying new computers. It’s just so solid. I use it both for work and at home. 👌

Neat, that’s cool.

Do you find that Arch bothers you in any way, would you say? How if so?

😁👍 Good to hear

I’ve got a patch in my boxers right now.

Oh boxes.

Was about to say, “or if you’re running Arch, the last time you updated the kernel or systemd version, so probably last week or summit.”

Alt+L in fish shell, works great. It runs the ls command without having to modify your current command that you’re typing. Or even change your cursor position.

You forgot to say “this is fine”, I take it?

Joking aside, I hope you didn’t lose anything. Was it a big fire?

Deez? 🌰🐿️

I’m on my second playthrough, this time with my kids. Didn’t think I needed another playthrough but I’m having fun. 😅 At one point I’ll boot up TotK for the first time since buying it on release day. 😎

Yeah can’t have that

You didn’t like Breath of the Wild?

Understandable

Good response. The “who hurt you” thing is such a low ball argumentative style.

Punchable is a bit far

Didn’t mean that literally 😁 I just thought it was funny to describe a written response as punchable. But the response was annoying.

It might not be the developer’s fault, but him practically defending the choice by completely dodging the performance aspect is irresponsible to me. It’s like he’s ashamed to discuss it. Or doesn’t have the knowledge to?

A good developer should speak up and say that they might not have the skill set required for the task. That’s my opinion. Either that or learn the ropes but flag for extra time needed.

the right tool is always the one you know how to use…

100% disagree. There are more suitable tools for certain jobs.

Hello I am looking for a job as a surgeon. Okay what tools do you know? Jackhammer. That’s the only one you know? Yup. Mmkay then that’s the right tool for surgery in your case, can you start Monday?

Imagine someone using Java to write a program that just runs several other commands in sequence. That should really be a script, and the developer should learn a sufficiently suitable shell scripting language.

But yeah, ultimately I agree, it’s not his “fault”. Especially if he flagged this to be something a bit out of the ordinary, and his manager(?) insisted. Then it’s 100% not the guy’s fault, for sure ong.

😁🤜🤛

My brain censors out all caps

I interpreted this as them being unable to see all caps, not only consecutive, but also free-standing in front of small letters. 😄

^Then I had a little fun with it.^

What have you been doing since you stopped programming?

Alternatively, why did you stop (seriously) programming?
