Meanwhile PHP quietly runs 80% of the internet by being used for WordPress.

“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”

Always remember, the silicon valley ethos of “break things” wasn’t about their applications, it was about breaking industry, society, laws and your ability to oversee or regulate them.

the tests are now larger than the thing itself

Is such a weird complaint. You should aim for your codebase to be as small, simple and readable as possible, while your tests should be a specification that guarantees behavior is consistent between refactors. When you add behavior, you add tests, when you remove a behavior, you delete tests.

The size of either is independent of eachother. Small code bases that provide lots of features should be simple to read, but with a lot of tests.

Like a fungus you learn to live with

Apparently every code base I’ve ever worked on was run through this.

I never saw that, that’s legitimately funny. I’d love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.

I don’t know if the game is the best example of busineses making top-down design decisions, since that game was an obvious scam from the start.

Or federal funding.

They’re not dangerous, they’re safety razors after all

Remember when people were calling this dummy the “real life Tony Stark”? Lol.

When you leave Ontario for Quebec, the road signs become incomprehensible.

. 10,000 years ago is about when we developed agriculture, stopped roaming as much, and started writing in some form that could survive the millennia

This is bias towards a specific type of societal structure.

Lots of peoples with rich, complex and fascinating cultures continued to live successful nomadic lives for centuries past the introduction of agriculture.

Poe’s law.

Yes, I couldn’t recommend htmx highly enough.

Web & mobile development took a wrong tern 10 million miles back, and no one wants to turn the car around and admit it.

Yes, and the people directly contributing to the project have legitimate gripes. Although, the parable of dhh is if you get on an asshole scorpions back, don’t be surprised if you get stung. Dudes been an unreasonable prick for nearly 20 years now.

My comments directed at the manufactured outrage from the tooling zealots incapable of having a mature conversation. Or even accept a difference of opinion. The number of comments that start with, "never heard of Turbo, but let me weigh in on why you’re an idiot for not liking Typescript. " is very telling…

I continue to be baffled and amused by the complete meltdown of the typescript community over the actions of a single man on a single package. The only people who have legitimate gripes are those that had been actively contributing and whose work was erased. The rest of you are acting absurdly childish. The anger and vitriol being thrown at anyone who disagrees on how to write javascript would make me embarrassed if I was associated or involved in the ts community.

Javascript.

Because my exposure to Typescript is wading through over-engineered and bloated Angular front ends that could easily (and should) be thrown out and re-written in html/ js.

But also because I exclusively write simple shit that doesn’t have a build step for the front end, because 90% of the stuff I make gains no benefit from needlessly overly complex front ends.

Oh wow, aren’t you a cranky bitch. I didn’t say you "should " do anything, I linked a tool I’ve constantly been told good things about.

I bet you’re the type to follow the docker install instructions*, arent you?

You know what they say about when you assume, you turn out to be an ignorant dipshit.
