rotor posted:"the build chain isn't that bad" because node is a server side runtime and most js runs in the browser, so the build chains figure out all that fuckery and package up server side poo poo for browser use. also you get to target assloads of browsers/platforms through polyfills and it does optimisations and poo poo it sucks rear end and is hilariously over complicated, it’s a miracle it works at all like most computer stuff

Working the Help Desk at a military installation dealing with incredibly proprietary software is a great way to obtain the experience you need to join the tech industry.

we need fewer computers and servers overall, and they need to be less powerful (but still be more energy-effective). That way they can force everyone including business processes to aggressively narrow down their feature set and implementation to absolutely core functionality and become prohibitively expensive for all the frills or non-core features, which in turn would enforce radical simplicity and stall the overstepping of computers into our lives.

haven’t read a page but: JavaScript is pretty good now. I’d must rather write a node express api than a Java springboot one. as long as you’re not running in a browser the idiosyncrasies are mostly ignorable

there are too many languages. all this go/swift/rust stuff is just showing off. e: "please, let me write some rust" said nobody ever. They have played us for absolutely fools.

c++ is a bad language with unmaintainable complexity, and the steering committee should get hit by a bus because it's the only way they'll leave well enough alone.

Python is a toy language and any benefits you think you got from, "programming is fun again" vanish quickly as your project scales. Managing large scale python projects is hell and I'd rather be in C++ than python most of the time

people who think you can and should measure everything and that if something isn't measurable it doesn't exist are the reason organizations can get large in the first place, but also the reason they start being absolutely terrible once at that size.
