I don't normally post personal updates, but I'll make an exception in this case...

If anyone wants to help out by getting something off of our baby registry, I'm sure our soon-to-be daughter will appreciate it. My wife and I will. 🙂

Seems like a good time for someone to write an article summarizing all the Free Software alternatives to #Adobe's suite...

Graphics people, now is your time. Seize it.

I've just tagged a new release of Crell/Serde, version 1.2.

This release includes support for Unix timestamps, makes TypeFields more flexible and customizable, and fixes an issue with handling null values. Note that the latter fix has a very small BC break that only impacts a select number of custom Importers, so odds are you won't notice.

Get it while it's hot!

When you say what a word "means", what do you mean by "mean?" It's actually not a trivial question.

Inheritance has is uses and advantages!

... But oh boy does it add a lot of gross complications to the language.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

I have just learned that "#Java Bean" has two completely different and incompatible definitions.

One is a dumb, badly designed data object with getters and setters.

The other is... a service object managed by the Spring framework IoC container.

Holy hell. This is 10x worse than #Laravel "facades."

Am I wrong here? This is what I'm finding from online tutorials. Is there more nuance that is not coming through, because for now I just hate #Spring even more.

#Kotlin

Whoever decided that bad standards are better than no standards never had to use them...

I of course have not verified this at all, but it's just dumb enough to be true.

I'm hanging out with a group of under 10 year olds. They insist on listening only to the Backstreet Boys.

I guess the kids like Oldies.

Hey #PHP. When you use union and intersection types, do you include spaces?

"It's a DTO so it shouldn't have methods, just data" is an excellent way to end up with procedural spaghetti with a class keyword floating around.

It certainly won't get you a good #OOP codebase, that's for sure.

Crell, 23 days ago to random

When people complain about #OOP being just an over-engineered mess of indirection, they don't mean OOP. Just the Java ecosystem. #FFS

The one and only thing I like about Macs is that they're not Windows. Other than that, I despise these things. The UI has always been awful.

Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.

Any time I see "bad" code, the first answer is usually "you need more precise and strict types."

Often there's other stuff wrong, but easily 70% of the time, the fix starts with "define the problem better and the problem goes away."

Remember: Every mile of land lost by #Ukraine this month to Russian invaders is the direct result of #GOP intransigence and refusal to stand by our allies just so they could make Biden look bad.

Every Republican legislator is a threat to national security. Every. Single. One. Treat them as such.

No, #Python, this really is a gotcha, and a stupid one at that.
