Devs should not recommend rewrites until they have a workable plan on how to move forward without a rewrite, so they can compare the costs of rewrite vs. no rewrite.
I send multi line messages all the time and I frequently accidentally hit enter before I’m done. Then I have to rapidly make edits and save them, hoping everyone sees the frequent updates and realizes messages is still a work in progress. There has to be a better way.
Would be nice if anything that supports multiline messages let you toggle into a multiline mode where enter always puts in newlines and a combo like ctrl+enter sends the message.
When I have a multi line message to send, I always redact and edit it in my favorite text editor, so no accidental send can happen. Plus I have all my shortcuts
How are the Reddit execs right wing? Reddit had a hilariously bad relationship with the trump subreddit, in fact the CEO famously edited user comments in that sub to change them from being critical of him to being critical of the mods[1].
> I think it's fair to assume things like these are location dependent.
Well, it certainly puts the notion on the table.
Let's run with that. Let's say that qualified folks have evidenced this phenomenon; we've learned there are regions in the US where playground dads are routinely considered to be dangerous to their own kids (and presumably kids in general).
And it's not universal. This indicates there's some strong social effect that can be tightly limited to a region - be widespread and pervasive in one region and fully absent in another.
What sort of effect could mass-mold minds across an entire region yet still be so geographically limited?
Don’t billionaires normally buy newspapers, media and even politicians and let their voice be heard that way? By contrast this is refreshing, vulnerable and…kind of cute.
Pair programming is a form of communication, it's a way for people to teach each other. Some people really work well with this learning style, and if you're one of those people, I would absolutely find ways to do it regularly.
When you become a senior dev, you should be taking time to help juniors build their skills. You will need to involve them in architectural discussions, pair programming for complex PRs, etc. So these are skills you need to have, IMO.
One technique I've seen work well is, build a PR for a specific feature, then ask someone if you can do a quick "pair programming" / demo session where you outline the architecture, show the code, maybe debug and step through some stuff. Like a highly developer-oriented demo, as a preliminary step for the other dev hitting Approve on your PR.
This has a lot of benefits:
- It can morph into pair programming
- A lot of questions that are raised in a good PR will be answered synchronously
- The PR feedback you get will be much, much better--in fact, it'll be the kind of feedback that you turn you into a mid-level and eventually senior dev.
I as a senior definitely learned some things from our juniors, too. I still remember some keyboard shortcuts, I learned in these sessions, like ALT+SHIFT+UP / DOWN to increase/decrease the marked text or with Eclipse Keymap ALT+Y to mark the next occurrence for multi-cursor tasks.
The proper way to solve this would be to have a cloud provider (possibly based on AWS or Azure) whose UI simply edits an auto-generated IaaC script. That way ALL changes go through the code. And if there's a need to do a 3-way merge, it's obvious, because you're having to do a 3-way merge in git.
I've been wondering if enough people would be single issue voters on the Israel question that we could actually get some sort of candidate who attracts a ton of voters from both traditional parties.
It's ironic because (IMO) people like Ben Shapiro and other pro-Israel people deliberately divide us to prevent us from uniting against them, but the genocide has actually united us[1]. Just the other day I saw a Twitter post from one Cenk Ugyur reaching across the aisle and saying "good job" to right wingers who objected to hate speech laws against people who celebrated Kirk's assassination.
Admittedly, if 68% of Americans are opposed to Israel that doesn't necessarily mean all of them are single issue voters... but I think this is the first issue I've seen in my lifetime that gets this close to uniting Americans.
