You expect the people who have been oppressed, labelled terrorists, and silenced to "bring these people into the fold"; The same assholes who bootlick and enable powerful cunts to propagate their vile ways as the only way that works?

I feel like the only people purged were the capitalist bootlickers and robber barons. It's always a cooked up story when "Doctors, Teachers, and Businessmen" were purged because you know it was just the last category that felt oppressed even at the slightest course-correction from their vile system.

There was an excellent point somewhere by some youtuber-coder. I don't remember off the top of my head.

If you ever find yourself at the point where you are deciding on whether to fork a huge project or update to the latest version, you maybe just experiencing the consequence of deciding to have your core product have external dependencies at inception.

I am paraphrasing of course.

Does this program need to save the data for the CRUD part?

If so, it's best to make it into a standalone program that writes to a DB and maybe also provides APIs to external programs to query the data from the DB.

I used to think I would donate 100% to software with my leftover money. Which is still true to a large extent but nowadays I feel like the real value for open source to succeed is not software, but hardware. We have significant amount of momentum in the software space and it would be wise for us to develop an opensource alternative to the industry with a good hardware base for {Desktop, Server, Mobile} with mobile being the most difficult to enter what with licenses to be obtained for closed source SIM Card drivers.

That said, what's holding me back right now is that inflation is biting all of us in the ass and it seems prudent not to give away money in the off-chance that "What if I need it for some random expense?".

I wish I could contribute my time in open source but between work, health and social obligations there's hardly any time or interest left to be excited to open up the text editor for a coding sesh at 9.30 pm in the evening, especially when video games, movies or fun with the spouse are the competing activities.

Edit: On pressing the button to publish my comment I felt incredibly foolish as server is already a won space I reckon. Even desktop is fine i guess, only problem is mobile right now.

You could have read the article and found the answer yourself, like I did.

First of all, it's pretentious to speak as if you belong to the youth as an old man. Second of all, AGI? head bozo? Stop trying so hard.

I am picky and get bored all the time. These fonts below have had my attention for significant period of time.

  1. Used Hack for sometime and got bored of the weird diamond on the zero. Hence, downloaded HackSlash, A patched variant with slashed zero.
  2. Fira Code
  3. Source Code Pro
  4. Customized version of Iosevka mixed with monaco.
  5. Input mono but I changed the variants to get curved i, l, J
  6. Ubuntu mono
  7. Maple Mono (Latest I am trying)
  8. Menlo
  9. Consolas
  10. PT Mono
  11. Red Hat Mono
  12. CodeNewRoman Nerd Font

Someone mentioned codingfont.com.. but I spoil it for myself by immediately recognizing the fonts I already got weary of and get varying results just like if I let my picky self choose.

Edit: Probably forgot to mention that I have tried the Nerd font variants and exclusively the NF variants of above fonts like CodeNewRoman NF, BlexMono, CommitMono NF

Any sort of tech company was always a headless chicken. It's just that when software developers were the hot thing on the horizon we were oblivious to the stupidity that thrives in corporate.

If you think about a business that maximizes profit, and sample opinions from the business side about the business domain.. you would be forgiven to assume the replies are nothing short of genius. However, the facade of brilliance falls apart the moment you attempt to sample anything adjacent to business or unrelated to it. You will realize that having experience in and making a lot of money does not translate well to other endeavors where making money is not the main concern.

Now that we have been milked dry like Apids in an Ant farm and have been virtually kicked out of the money making complex, we start to realize we were just cattle all along and that praise for our stature in the industry as the eponymous "genius" of the entire operation was just flattery to assuage any inconvenience we perceived through corporate bullshit. They succeeded in avoiding drawing our ire towards the incredibly narrow-sighted and hollow endeavor that is making the line go up exponentially.

Now that facade has fallen face first at the dawn of the LLM era. The arrogance that hid from software engineers and developers but was all too apparent to blue collar and "lesser" corporate functions has shown it's face to us, the enlightened morons.

Thanks for coming to (hehe) my TED talk
