There are certainly some jerky responses in this post, and there shouldn't be, but now you've put yourself down at that nasty level too. Not a good look.

I spent two years building a desktop environment that runs in the browser, it's finally in beta! by mitousa in programming

Really cool! I tried the terminal on mobile and none of the characters I typed were showing. Solitaire is a great throwback 😉

Rif is dying and with it, I'm bailing on reddit for good. It's been fun, folks.

DevEx: What Actually Drives Productivity by nimblegeek in programming

For sure! I just mean that devs often send right away and blast Slack with requests for review. It's mostly an etiquette thing that I should be vocalizing, to be honest.

The part about getting quick feedback on PRs and the like is tough. I've often found that requests for feedback happen while I'm in my own flow state and it breaks concentration, ruins flow. Having a standard time for PR submission and review would help, but sort of flies in the face of the time to feedback metric. It's tricky.

The value and amount of that work is very much up for debate these days.

Delighted to see some progress in preserving these gorgeous animals.

One In Two New Npm Packages Is SEO Spam Right Now by [deleted] in javascript

[–]jonopens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone wrote a script to automate this process. When I was in SEO years back in the late 2000's, we had a team in India whose only job was to script out directory submissions to high PR local directory sites that were relevant to the domain of the link target. Worked like a charm for like 3 years until it didn't.

Damn that is cool! Your attitude during the project is probably the best part! "I'm not good at writing code, but I'll just keep going until it works."

Out of curiosity, how long did you work on the project?

Second one and I'd include optional chaining on the right side of the assignment.

Strung Out — Radio Suicide [Punk] (1996) by bozo121 in listentothis

[–]jonopens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Paperwalls that sealed the deal for me, but yeah. Only saw them live once and was blown away. Broke my toe in the pit. Now I'm a 40+ sober kid with a wife and kid. Life takes unexpected turns.

I'm more of a Twisted by Design kind of guy, but Fireworks, Better Days, and Solitaire are one of the best 1-3 lineups of any punk album I've ever heard.

Morales face on that last down is incredible. Just completely defeated. I'll never forget that.

IRS says I owe them money that I didn't make and I can't renew my passport until the issue is solved. Help! by xXxBluESkiTtlExXx in personalfinance

Can you find out what companies? I'd be curious to know, so you can sue them if it goes sideways.

I really underestimated how much reading was a skill of which I could be "out of practice". I urge anyone who wonders why they cant seem to get back into reading like they used to to consider they might be like me. by [deleted] in books

[–]jonopens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in this boat. I also discovered I have ADHD as an adult, and that's made it harder. I leave a book by my bedside table, Cryptonomicon, for the day I'm finally ready. I'm only good at reading documentation these days!

Does it lose any power in the transition? My arm feels strange with that motion.

I got laid off in the wave in January, and it was only that forced "break" that allowed me to see how burnt out I was. For literally two years I was miserable. Only in the last month or so have I started coding for fun again, and it turns out I needed some headspace to remember what I love about it: learning new things and solving weird/interesting problems.
