  • I don’t have experience with Jujutsu, but I always have the same problem with these alternative frontends, which is that I’d still want to be proficient with the original. If you need to look up how to fix something or you want to help others in your team or you want to script something, then the language to speak is simply the Git CLI.

    And I don’t feel like I even use the Git CLI enough where a different tool could be so much better that it’s worth learning both.
    Obviously, your priorities may differ, but yeah, that’s just always the reason for me why I prefer the Git CLI, even if it were objectively more difficult to use.





  • I mean, for what it’s worth, I’m a seasoned dev and just did a run where I tried to answer everything as it makes sense to me (which is “throws an error” or “invalid date” for all of them) and I also got a score of 4/28.

    …and two of those points were given to me, because the quiz interpreted my answer differently than I meant it.

    In other words, this quiz exists to highlight that JavaScript’s Date functions make no sense.




  • Yeah, it’s easy to underestimate how big of a leap it is from a toy application to real-world usability. Not just in terms of security, but also:

    • useful error messages
    • logging / monitoring
    • configuration
    • building a distribution
    • deploying in a reproducible way
    • documentation
    • integration with existing infrastructure
    • data migration strategies
    • etc.

    This adds a lot of complexity, so you’ll need to learn additional complexity to be able to deal with it at all:

    • modularization
    • version control systems
    • software specifications (via unit/integration tests)
    • team communication
    • helper tooling, like package managers, linters etc.

    Learning about all this stuff takes years, especially if no one in your surroundings has much experience with any of it either. Professors don’t have the time to gain or retain this experience, since they already have a different full-time job.

    My advice would be to get students to do internships or to take a job as a working student in a company/organization. Sometimes, these can be shitty for the students, but they can often provide significantly more real-world context than college ever could.



  • I mean, they do have the infinite money glitch, a.k.a. being owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft’s investors think Fallout 5 will make its money back, it’s more lucrative to get started on it sooner rather than later.

    And it does also need to be said that they can’t keep remastering Fallout titles forever. They need to develop a new title at some point.

    Bethesda Game Studios has so far always only had one game in development at a time, which should be TES6 right now. If they are working on Fallout 5, we’re likely talking pre-production stages. So, it might very well be the case that the two remasters come out in roughly equal spacing before Fallout 5 comes out in a few years.

    Yes, let’s call it “good eye” and not “damn, you really had this meme burnt into your terminally-online brain cells to the point where you’d recognize this random internet cat from a different picture”.
    That is a much better name, yes, haha.
