Whenever you have applications were implementations are plentiful the only real differentiation you can do without creating a different user experience is the technologies used to develop it. The importance of which in people’s perspective is several things, mostly supporting technologies they like and want to see grow and possibly being skilled in the underlying technologies to actually contribute back.

Certain technologies are also just hot garbage, I swear to God if I have to install another electron app for some messaging platform I will shit myself.

And you guessed it, they copied that ignored-annotation, too, complete with the comment “//TODO currently broken”. The test they implemented was not run, not even once.

Junior dev here, this is the kind of stuff that is supposed to prompt you to ask questions. Literally one slack message when you see it, and give it a few hours for whenever you have time to see it and respond. I know it’s annoying messaging y’all with stuff but… C’mon you gotta do it sometimes, especially if it’s something you can reasonably predict will come up in review or is a simple question that doesn’t require a lot of time to answer.

Correction: modern C++ is pretty sweet.

Chances are if you’re working on C++ in a professional setting it’s not modern C++ :(

Borrow checker intensifies

Tried this myself, performance differences are non existent. In fact I noticed more regressions on speedometer than improvements.

Don’t bother, use Floorp instead.

Maybe give Lapce a shot, it’s still in it’s infancy, but it’s pretty slick and very responsive.

They’re not difficult by any means.

But they are tedious when compared to other solutions.

Dynamically typed/interpreted language?

Python Yup that checks out.

I’ve never understood why so many languages insist on a feature that causes such a obtuse and tedious programming experience.

Python is great, until you don’t remember a function call, and can’t guess using your LSP to tell you. :/

They make a few Wayland DWMs

Yeah, then we can have marginally more responsive web apps.

Seriously though, web apps are usually just optimized like shit in addition to using chrome.

Also: is copy pasting ChatGPT answers a thing now even when you, as you said, don’t even know what it means??

As long as it’s annotated as such I don’t mind, even if it’s wrong. And if it’s wrong you’re more likely to get people to actually respond via a “umm but actually” type response
