Related to this I just came up with an explanation why I seem to do well at estimating risk--I'm a risk taker, doing seemingly dangerous things in practical & safe ways. After seeing and doing a lot of that, you development good senses.
I started out as a symfony snob. Got sick of writing java in PHP so I picked up laravel. Got sick of having to modify my code every time Taylor huffed some new shit so I started building things using WordPress.
It's so refreshing knowing that my websites auto update themselves and I never have to update them unless there is a legitimate reason to do so.
Backwards compatibility is the ONLY thing I care about in a framework. Life's too short to babysit some frameworks ideas of how my code should work ten years after building the damn thing.
Yea, don't debate that. I just personally have no tolerance for the behaviour of these framework developers and the level of work they impose on their users.
For a business that has engineers to manage this day to day it's less of an issue. For building things you want to live online untouched for a decade it's just not an option.
Laravel is nice to build stuff fast in one particular way. It's awful to maintain and heaven forbid you have a different idea about how things should be done.
"I see from your resume that you're more of a maintenance programmer, but we really need people who can hit the ground running, banging out new huge kernel modules. Maybe you could assist them, by writing unit tests, and fetching their coffee, so they can focus on the challenging new stuff?"
Is "new stuff" easier work than maintaining old stuff? I always thought it was the other way around. I always give greenfield stuff to the juniors. They fuck it up I fix it. It's basically like using chatgpt.
I agree. Maintenance work is hard. Writing new code from scratch is easy.
At work we put the smartest most experienced people on maintenance work. Because it is the lifeblood and cash flow of the company. It directly pays the salaries of people working on new software that might never make a profit!
>But humans have never had a universal method of slumber. A 2015 study of hunter-gatherer societies in Tanzania, Namibia, and Bolivia found that most foragers enjoyed one long sleep. Two years later, another study found that a rural society in Madagascar practiced segmented sleep. Two years after that, a study found that the indigenous residents of Tanna, in the South Pacific, largely had one uninterrupted sleep.
i remember reading quotes from historical people who were all pretty clear that this is how they slept, and often implied they considered it not to be unusual.
Twins here. First one with suction cup, second one they went up there with the hand and forearm to catch the baby's leg and pull. Thank the appropriate deities the epidural was badly performed and my spouse was conked out of her mind (and couldn't push, hence the sucking cup...).
Twin birth is disturbing. They tell you before, but between hearing about it and living it...
Personally I don't associate it with the negative connotations you do. I associate it with the word trying.
