Being told my code is clean and well organized 💕

Every time I'm in a programming mood and start feeling the itch to learn more and explore new things, I look at Go and find myself baffled. Not just by the language itself, but how adamantly the community defends poor choices. People will look you dead in the eye and say that there's no good justification for having enums

It's always funny to be reading through github issues and then spot a mutual from here doing something really complex and cool

It terrifies me that there are generations of kids that think this is what normal is.

I know code coverage isn't a good metric, but it sure does feel good to have 100% code coverage

Is anyone aware of cool "unofficial" GBA games to check out? Things like Goodboy Galaxy

I hate the digital age verification trend, but I feel like if we're going to have it, it should be OS-level and the relevant information should be retrieved through platform APIs, instead of having to give your personal details to every single website you visit and risking being doxxed when those websites get hacked

Everyone is screaming over the California age verification law, but that's like the least terrible version of this law. There are multiple threads full of people claiming that everyone who says that it's not the worst thing ever is a paid astroturfer, and it just feels absurd to see.

I said that I like 100% code coverage, but I also feel like you really shouldn't block anything on 100% code coverage. You end up with some very silly tests when you're trying to split the difference between 99.94% code coverage and 100% code coverage.

I honestly think I prefer having just a little bit too much work to do over having no work to do at all

Having an in-depth code review requirement and having strict timelines for development leads to pain :(

I saw someone say runtime validation of types (from external sources) in JS is useless, but I'm kind of baffled by that opinion. How can you even trust your types if you don't check? That's how you end up with broken pages when something changes

Oh, I realize now why I'm feeling so cold - it's 27 degrees this morning and I don't have my heat on

Dates should always be represented with as much context as possible in transit & storage. Don't give me a date like "Mar 16" please

I had a terrible dream that Jared Leto somehow became the lead singer of Linkin Park.

I think I might just turn the big personal project I've been using to try different FE frameworks into a React/React-Router framework. Maybe Vue/Vue-Router.
