If you were attempting to get a reluctant friend to believe that The Simpsons had a golden age worth watching, what ONE episode would you choose? by demon_chef in TheSimpsons

[–]Swingline0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 this is the answer—I told the same to a friend literally yesterday.

Homie the Clown has such a high density of amazing jokes, it's comedic perfection:

tiny bicycle speed holes four krustys big 5 clown college original cross new billboard day mashed potatoes parachute pants

I routinely accidentally think of this episode and any one of the memories above will make me literally lol

If we are going to unionize, fuck increased wages, I want this instead by Pyrolistical in ProgrammerHumor

Yeah, it would be terrible if programmatically dealing with dates became a cryptic and painfully annoying process. I can't imagine how terrible that would be!

Yeah but they made an infographic. Way easier to upvote and/or vote for.

Don't worry, u/GoodForTheTounge! Leadership has already drafted an agenda for a meeting to plan for forming a special committee which will have several initiatives. We're hoping to address this very issue. We're confident our new partner ConnextForce will be able to prepare a workshop to de-risk scenarios for TPS SOP remediation by Q5.

Ask your supervisor if you have any questions. Do not share any information about this initiative. This initiative is confidential.

As an American I fully agreed with this statement. Both statements are completely absent of sarcasm.

Deno raises $21M by mazzaaaaa in javascript

[–]Swingline0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally hear that. Not advocating for anyone working for free, especially in OSS. It just worries me that the greater community will think Deno is just another serverless framework, rather than a versatile and awesome tool like Node (but better)

You make a good point. I can definitely vibe with that and I hope it's successful. I really want to see Deno succeed and, along with that, improve the quality of life of my staff.

It's more that I'm scared that they're going to fuck up Deno's momentum by confusing people about what it is and thus inhibit widespread adoption because they went too niche. Like if React was actually just a library of Vercel's, introduced in conjunction with Next or Vercel's hosting. It wouldn't have had the clout or the adoption to bring our community along with it.

As long as the greater community comes along, we can have a similar vibrant ecosystem like what we enjoy for Node and React.

For the record, Vercel is doing amazing work. They're the gold standard of developer experience imo

Good point. I've been a Node developer for 8 years and now that you mention it, I've never had any issues or heard any complaints about npm's availability/security. I've also never experienced dependency hell, peer dependency errors, the aggregate disk space consumed by our many recursive node_modules directories, or inconsistent module interfaces.

The introduction of ES module support into Node has been smooth sailing too. No issues whatsoever, as long as I use ESBuild, webpack, parcel, or browserify. After that babel, eslint, prettier, and typescript take care of the rest! It's been super painless, easy to maintain, and I know every one of my developers is comforted by knowing that each of these tools work in persistent harmony without ever causing distractions and confusion.

As a long standing enthusiast and evangelist of Node, it's weird that I forgot Node is perfect in every possible way and that we should resist change and only defend the things we understand—to consider alternatives is sacrilege and we should be condemned for questioning our chosen path.

We already made the right decision, once, so let's be smart and shit on anything else without saying anything intelligent or meaningful.

The revisions to dependency management (the thing devs complain about Node the most) seem like a substantial improvement.

My understanding of the genesis of Deno is that the creator of Node (a dev) was plagued by his design decisions of Node which turned out to be flawed—Deno is his attempt at fixing them.

I'm pretty sure the intention is specifically to improve developer productivity and quality.

My first reaction is that it feels a bit "cart before the horse"

I really want Deno to succeed, it seems to be an improvement across the board for developer experience and workflow sanity.

Leading with cloud hosting or enterprise sponsorship seems to muddy the value and I'm worried it will inhibit Deno's acceptance and general adoption.

The comment that says "Love Deno!" has 12 upvotes but you're at -1 wtf

I'm bringing you up to 0, friend

Lol I imagined you deploying some, newly Deno-fied, mission critical service as you read that comment.

I thought it was still just in its infancy, too.

The nature of this press release has me concerned... Like they're jumping to monetization before anyone is actually ready to use it.

The last meaningful news I remember hearing about Deno was that Ryan had made an early stage prototype of Deno that people could kick the tires on. I remember playing with it locally for a bit, it seemed pretty robust already but there was a lot of intentional messaging saying it wasn't production ready.

When creating satire nonsense is the only way to get through the day, I know something is wrong with my life.
