Classic Chesterton’s fence principle.

Remind me of some quotes:

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.

Recently, I came back home after 2.5 years of studying and working abroad. Home (family, friends, scene, etc.) didn’t change much, but I definitely felt something off that it was hard to describe. I grew out of it, I suppose.

Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…

This is actually not a good advice, from my experience. If we don’t monitor, refactor, or improve the code, the software will rot, sooner or later. “Don’t touch” doesn’t mean we don’t ever think about the code, but we make the conscious choice not to modify it.

This + org-mode are enough for me to switch to Emacs.

Also excited for this. I tried KDE before but I didn’t find it easy to configure (too manually for a declarative guy like me). I like more the simplicity of Gnome.

It was VPN issue for me. Some IPs in Proton VPN doesn’t work. When I tried a different IP or turned the IP off, I could access again.

Well, but most of the time I don’t care enough to go in.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

Looking at your picture makes my neck hurt.

insert Thanos stone meme.

We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.

I read in “The Cathedral and The Bazaar” that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.

You have a pretty solid skill for a JR, to be honest. Sometimes I work with a mid-senior one and they don’t know a single thing (well, a bit of exaggeration but they somehow “hacked” the system to get to that title).

Anyway, ignore the job requirements with 3+ years of Exp and apply anyway. Accept the first position that you feel “good enough” to gain practical experience. It will be your stepping stone to another job. Don’t think that your first company will be ever be your final company for 10 or more years.

It’s sad to see it spit out text from the training set without the actual knowledge of date and time. Like it would be more awesome if it could call time.Now(), but it 'll be a different story.

2 years are a bit extreme. I think 4-5 years is a good option. But if only if I don’t like the company (culture, people, policy, etc.) or I don’t see any advancement in my career.

That is correct!

And the line below that is: “From frontend to backend, Japan’s first book about LLVM technical skills with a wide range of explanations.”
