FrankTheHealer,

KDE is ridiculously unintuitive and has become too awkward to use to recommend to a newbie.

Arch is not a general purpose distro. Theres too many things that can break it unless you meticulously follow the patch notes and participate in the community.

Vim is overrated.

xantoxis,

Log levels are superstition.

Answering my own question here. If you don’t have any interest in how the tools you use work, programming isn’t “for you” (take that with a grain of salt). If you are writing code and have never looked into how compilers/interpreters work or are using a library and haven’t even taken a peak at the library’s source code you should because it will make you a better programmer in the long run. And I’m not saying you can’t get anything done without that curiosity but curiosity is a major part of being a programmer. Also you don’t need to have a deep understanding of the tool just a overview of what it’s doing. Like for a compiler understanding what lexers, parsers, ASTs, code generators are will allow you to write code with that in mind.

Dark BASIC is cool

Feathercrown,

Pure text is probably not the best way to write code, even if it is the most interoperable format

ennemi,

DRY means Do Repeat Yourself, when the alternative is cooking up some awful OOP abstraction

premavansmuuf,

Is Haskell, YAML, or Sass also stupid? 🤔

shotgun_crab,

All programming languages suck, therefore the language you use doesn’t matter

I’m not convinced that “strong pairing” is the best way to pair but even people who rail against agile ideology tell you that you’re pairing wrong if you don’t follow it precisely.

Carbon? Just what we were all hoping for, yet another programming language from Google. They can keep it.

That the entire industry is cyclical and the current trends are yesterday’s anarcisms. Oop Vs functional, separating concerns Vs vertical slices, there’s examples all over the place.

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

dpkonofa,

Most frameworks are garbage and most programmers that use them have no idea how they work.
