  • C wasn’t my first language, but I learnt the most whilst learning C…

    People are talking about footguns and what not security related issues. I agree it’s easy to write bad C code, but if you want to learn what’s going on, learn C.

    Today I know a dozen of programming languages and C has always been in a special place in my heart. I am using Zig for my personal projects at the moment. It’s similar to C, without the pitfalls, and my C knowledge still helped me to learn that language.

    Learning C is a service you are doing to yourself for the rest of your life.




  • My personal experience is most people who are using git with a GUI are the same people who are asking my help to git-fu their git-problems…

    Most GUIs only offer a subset of the git functionalities and hide what’s really going on by obscuring gitshell with “their workflow”.

    In all cases, use what you like; some people like the shell. Cheatsheets are normally only for learning purposes and usually don’t stick for long, it’s not an end game thing…

    I went for a blood test two days ago.

    The girls came back sprinting with some papers, asking me how it was possible???

    I asked calmly what was going on, right? That’s when she said she never saw, in her entire life, such beautiful, elegant, fast and clean blood!

    I was like: “darling, that’s because Zig is flowing in my veins, I just can’t stop using it”…

    That being said, I totally agree with you.




  • Get a Foot in the Door

    It starts with “no, you don’t have to learn it”,

    to “your changes are breaking Rust stuff, let’s waste time together to fix it, else I call it ‘bad attitude’”

    to “you better make your stuff that way if you don’t want to break Rust stuff (and waste your time me)”

    to “do it my way, Rust is taking longer to fix and I would have to refactor all the code because of the lifetime cancer”

    to the original senior kernel dev saying: “fuck it, I quit, the kernel is such a mess with the Rust BS” … People don’t want you at the party, make your own party with your own friends we don’t want you here

    It’s not complicated.
