Thanks, but probably not.

You are probably also taking it out of context. You have no idea what has happened in that neighborhood in the last year or decade. You have no idea what those perps and officers have experienced. Right?

You have an extra word there.

I am, and so are you, I would think. That's how I understand "paradigm" :)

We're using 50 year old UX paradigms. Nothing has significantly improved after Engelbart.

What specifically do you think makes PHP especially great for that?

No, it's not interesting at all. PHP is fairly good at web things, but that's it.

https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx perhaps

Also hugsql for clojure and pugsql for python.

Agreed. There should be one for every user.

On the Epic store? Too expensive.

Don't use Kubernetes unless you Know you need it.

Would you hire you?

Yeah, you’re right. I was exaggerating for some reason I don’t recall anymore, a bad day perhaps, too much or too little coffee or something. Who knows.

Of course I don’t discriminate at hiring time against people who disagree with me on such a trivial technical detail. Or hunt for them so I can maintain secret lists of undesirables. That would be unethical, probably illegal, and definitely stupid.

Some (perhaps even most) problems don't need top tier coders, so hiring them for such problems is a waste of resources.

That's not hot reload, and pretty much every language has frameworks that are capable of that.

Actix-web is a web framework, but a rather lightweight one. It doesn't really compare to django/rails/laravel.

And what is the equivalent of "===" for ">" and "<"?

Because it's fairly popular (#6ish or something) as a language, it is more probable that people are forced to use it at the threat of unemployment.

Nobody is forced to write Haskell or Rust, you have to actively look for such positions.

Then again, this doesn't explain why the number #1 language (Python) is so liked...

Many employers use php because it allows keeping salaries down, though. So your advice would not work for those.

Learning new tricks gets harder when we get older. Is that the software’s fault?

As a person for whom Linux and BSDs have been a hobby since 1996, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I wish systemd haters would make a public petition to remove systemd from this world. I would absolutely use such a list to make sure I never accidentally hire any one of them for any system administration positions.

”Several weeks of hard effort”, they said. I can buy it, if they actually work hard and are basically competent. Rust is a difficult language in total, that’s for sure, but you can get a lot done without knowing it all.

I'm surprised anyone beyond C# and game programmers still code on Windows. It must be constant agony.

Should your employer/clients do the same for you? :)

While you're right, I'm kinda OK with Windows becoming/staying the main PC gaming "API" that more than one operating systems implement. It's just gaming; the important things are fun, challenge, immersion, escapism and great stories. Not how pretty it is under the hood.

None of those are beyond hobby level, though.

Ditto. My worst problem has been that some games on Steam claim they don’t work on Mojave... but they do.

It hasn’t been until this one, though, if this flaw is true.

It seems like you’re suggesting to pay them better to make up for the loss of an ability to insider trade without any risk. Allowing that behavior totally breaks the stock market system.

Elected officials should be forced to let go of all their assets to a neutral 3rd party asset manager who they’re allowed zero communication with during the time of their service.
