in college I had a prof tell us to get into teams, then give us lego sets to assemble.

they were in the original boxes but the directions had been removed. I was the only one to go up front and ask for the directions and she gave them to me.

Apparently that was the whole point to the excersize. “ask for the resources you need"

I'm sorry, I'm bad about humor going over my head 😅

Isn't it a joke about the file system?

I found it at $50 and knew it was for sketchy things but still tried (unsuccessfully) to convince my parents to let me give them my cash to use their debt card to buy some.

I could have paid off their house 😆

I can't believe that they criticized the vendor api for not having confirmation.

It's a freaking API!!! It's designed for automation, not direct human (or LLM!) use. If you added confirmation then devs would have to code automatic acceptance, which defeats the purpose.

It doesn't make a bit of sense. Someone is passing the buck.

I do like being able to easily bundle properties and functions together. I think objects are useful if kept in their simplest form.

Though I think some would argue that not using inheritance and interfaces and such precludes it from really counting as OOP

It's this mentality that shows you aren't mediocre. Simplicity requires more skill, not less.

I totally agree on this. I found that often things that appeared to need inheritance at first glance often didn't if I gave deeper thought to it.

Granted I was working on much smaller projects rather than crazy huge multi team enterprise apps, but I'd guess that even then this is a good "rule of thumb".

migadu has a cool workaround.

instead of:
alias+user@domain.tld

you give:
alias@user.domain.tld

then internally it transforms it to an alias when it comes in.

Historically I'd say Emacs plugin system predates atom and sublime, and was certainly as impressive in its flexibility.

it's also important to remember that different kids have different needs. Some kids can handle it fine, others may be more at risk due to past trauma or developmental delays.

I do agree it's all about teaching them safety and guiding them rather than forever sheltering them.

What's most dangerous is completely leaving them to fend for themselves.
