  • Very pleased to have been of help! I love scala but Java really isn't too bad (streams API is fine except that you need to explicitly move in and out, rather than getting to do the cool scala thing of just using methods in the phenomenal collections library) and I don't like dunking on it, but it really does need a few helper libs. Tuples, either and try I think vavr has. Java seems to have covered most other stuff now. But been a half decade since I've written more than 10 lines at a time so hasn't come up for a while. Sorry. Reminiscing. Sunday night blues.

  • Omg I remember running into something like this about 12 years ago. TTY did help but did need a reboot. I had to arch-chroot off the live usb so many times that night, my first ever Linux installation and I fucked up the bootloader and initial packages so hard so many times. I felt so cool when I was able to switch to another tty without needing yet another usb boot. Thanks for that memory.

  • Do people still use vavr? When I wasn't allowed to use scala that made up for a fair few shortcomings but it's probably less relevant than it used to be

  • No, because the whole point of this meme is to be entirely devoid of nuance. Functional programming is fucking awesome if product is changing its mind every 5 mins, Oop is great if you have a huge number of junior Devs, rust isn't remotely slow so god knows what bottom right is about, top left probably has more functionality defects than you can shake a stick at but he's lionised here. Don't think too hard about it -- OP didn't (also 'never bashes python or JavaScript'? Absolute weaksauce. Perl and PHP are the ones ppl bash because of entry level dev memes. Embarrassed for op)

  • Don't think they built the proposed alchemic tokomak yet, thought it was a theoretical paper?

  • I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.

  • Oh well that's depressing. I last interviewed about 3 years ago and I guess it might well have changed overall. OTOH I get to run the interviews where I'm at now and I can assure you that 'actually using your available resources' would never be a problem :)

  • We let people use chatbots in our technical interview and don't even mark down for it, since they're a tool that exists.

    I have yet to see a candidate who uses chatbots be anywhere near as good at producing good solutions quickly as the ones who don't.

  • In reverse order:

    • Directly mapping structs to JSON is a solved problem in userland for every major language
    • yes it does, and worse it's part of the return signature and null is super-prevalent of necessity as a result
    • even java doesn't do that any more, but fine I guess
    • cool, but access modifiers actually make a lot of sense. Go's solution to this is to use capitalisation as a marker, which has no 'inferential readability' -- public/private is obvious. Foo/foo? Considerably less so

    Further, meta programming in go sucks donkey balls. Sure, it finally got generics but also they suck. Last I checked it still didn't even support covariance.

  • Dude, weird ass-comment. I can share my opinions and they don't have to be positive ones. Go is a tool and its purpose is to be an aesthetic stain on the realm of software.

    Thank you for your attention

  • Ironically Go is such a shite verbose language that basically everyone I know who has to work with it will use an llm code-assistant tool to avoid having to write all the boilerplate themselves.

    I know of no other language that comes close to prompting the level of LLM-dependency that Go inspires.

    Edit: well, seems like this goes against the popular consensus but I stand by my guns if the down votes are from average Go enjoyers. If, on the other hand, the down votes stem from the sentiment that even Go should not be vibe coded, I can at least agree with that, but who knows what jimmies I've rustled

  • The rush of motivation can obfuscate the river of the obvious

    I mean it (sorta, let's not get too picky about this) literally makes you an idiot when you let it do that, but it totally can

    Edit: quickly -> picky. Autocorrect fucked me when I was looking at the keyboard, and I didn't notice 'til after
