@guillermotti hey man! How’s life and the new job?

Rather than deciding on a scripting language that only some in the organization understands and enjoys — like — consider a more inclusive option, like , which no one understands or enjoys.

As a kid, I always assumed that older adults “felt their age.”

Now I’m nearly 43, but in my head I feel about 25.

I’ve learned that I’m not the only one! This phenomenon is called “subjective age.”

How about you? What age do you “feel” you are?

@mijustin Just turned 40. Subjective age ~60 before 9 AM, ~25 until 10 PM.

Next addition to my sponsorships is an obvious one. @hachyderm is an awesome instance, and I couldn't be happier about being here. @nova and the team behind it is doing an amazing job, and I'd urge anyone who is able to to consider sponsoring, which is super easy to do via GitHub ( https://github.com/sponsors/hachyderm )

Thanks and everyone who has helped making this such a friendly place!

A conversation just now reminded me of the man page generator, which is just glorious.

Reminder to not use "foo", "bar" or similarly named identifiers in user-facing documentation. If you who wrote the software find it hard to come up with a real-world use case (and with that, realistic names) for a feature, how would anyone else be able to?

Also, please don't include sections stating they're "only for people who know what they are doing". We don't know what we are doing — that's why we're reading your docs in the first place, hoping you'd tell us.

anderseknert,
@anderseknert@hachyderm.io avatar

@odddev How would "a foobar device" or "a device to foobar" be any more descriptive than just calling it a toilet? Identifier names should not describe functionality in detail — that's for other parts of the docs. This is about code examples specifically, not for prose. Lovely example though 😄

@mattb From my cold, dead baz!

@anderseknert@hachyderm.io avatar

@charlieegan3 Oh, for sure — the reminder is just as much to myself too :)

For tests and such, I think the tradeoff is acceptable though. It's going to take longer for anyone reading them to grok what's going on, but they'd also be expected to be more knowledgable. And coming up with valid, real-world, use cases for each test is probably not worth the time spent doing that.

Learning a language that challenges your notion of what programming is might be one of the most rewarding things once it "clicks" and you start seeing the bigger picture. Whether that's , , , or whatnot — doesn't really matter. They're systematic, and when you see the system, that's empowering.

Yearly sponsorship bill just paid. My goal for next year is to double the amount, and will try to identify a few more devs whose work I depend on either for work or for fun. Bonus if they have a presence in the fediverse, as I enjoy following their work. It's not much, but it's something.

Only @borkdude is on Mastodon currently (that I know), and if you've done anything in in the last few years, you'll most likely have encountered his work.

danr, to random

Both Twitter and Mastodon's timelines suck at the moment.

Twitter For You is full of rubbish not linked to my interests or follows.

Mastodon's timeline is super quiet as discovery on the platform is rubbish (hard to find people to follow).

anderseknert,
@anderseknert@hachyderm.io avatar

@danr While it's slightly less convenient, I've found that just following a bunch of people based on shared interests have worked well for me. Disabling boosts from the most annoying serial boosters, and later unfollowing those who post less interesting stuff, and eventually the timeline will be good. Following hashtags is a good way to diacover people too. YMMV, naturally :)

If you’re someone who needs to relocate to a different location within the borders of the US but are not comfortable using ground transportation due to the locales through which you’d need to travel, I am willing to help by meeting you at your current location and driving your possessions to your destination while you travel via faster means. I have four weeks of PTO this calendar year and have yet to use more than a handful of days and I cannot think of a single way I could use them better than this.

If you need a hand with this, or know someone who does, please do slide into my DMs and I’ll give you my Signal contact info.

The prospect of maintaining a on app is undoubtedly the #1 reason people and organizations aren't too keen on running their own instances. Not bashing on — it's just not relatable tech to most in 2023. Are any of the alternative server implementations good enough?

@thisismissem I’d prefer RoR over PHP too, but that’s pretty much the only (somewhat mainstream) option I’d place below 😅

Node, Rust, Go, JVM… reliable alternatives would mean a lot!

anderseknert,
@anderseknert@hachyderm.io avatar

@thisismissem or what those who came before built, which is reasonably what most people adopting this as admins will look for. If my time off for the summer aligns well with other commitments, who knows though 🙂
