My account never really saw any traction, so I don't expect this to be of any importance/consequence to anyone. Just thought I'd leave a formal notice.

I think I'll be leaving Mastodon along with other social networks I've already quit.
As much as I love y'all here, I feel the never-ending commentary on everything is not something that adds value to my life.
I started the account a long time ago planning to share my thoughts and works, because employers / universities sometimes require online accounts. I have changed since then and no longer see value in pretending to care about this sort of stuff.

Yeah ok, this is pretty handy for C++ devs: https://hackingcpp.com/cpp/cheat_sheets.html
You know, I wonder if people were more efficient at using computers back in the day where there was a programming manual shipped with every PC. I mean, relatively to the abilities of their computers at the time.
Think about it. Imagine tons of ways to do your work more efficiently (at least VIM magic).
The majority only ever learn to use dumbed-down clicking software that is suuuuuuuuper annoying to use when you know better.
What do you think,
Is there a good open-source #gitlab client for Android?
I feel bad for maintainers of #log4j now that their hard volunteer work is widely ridiculed for serious #security flaws that were found.
This while every corporate club and your grandma used it in their million $$ projects without anyone thinking of doing a security scan or otherwise contributing to the project with time or funds.
A lessons-learned for the corporates:
"Nurture before you milk!"
And keep on nurturing. For god sake, can't you do anything sustainably?

Can't get enough of this guy! I hated chemistry, now I think I might have fallen in love.
How Google destroyed our startup by terminating our Google Play Developer Account

So I made all these changes to a part of our project at work, updating the code base to comply with the latest library version and in generally making the structure nicer. What did my coworker do?
He took the old version that is barely working, changed 4 lines of code and rolled with it. I can't. It is only a matter of time before it blows up.
What should I do, take the whole project and rewrite the relevant parts myself?
Just ordered a #tuxedopulse 15.
Can't wait to set up arch
