Aside: start getting that exposure to management people now. You can book regular skip levels with your bosses boss and the PMs boss. Better than waiting until you get promoted and having to learn how to do it with a weight of expectation.
It's not so much invalidating Bitcoin - Bitcoin is valid and effective. Unfortunately what it is extremely effective for is money laundering and tax evasion (which was what your original comment seemed to advocate for.)
Yes they are relevant. From the article, skills like "accessibility, progressive enhancement, network performance, interface design and user testing" are relevant to the ultimate goal of producing a web page. Front-end development is not merely implementing a design specification. The skills listed are relevant to transformkng the design specification into a web site/app that runs on the many devices and platforms and is used by a variety of users.
The design specification can include everything you mentioned. The article argues that "JavaScript frameworks have deskilled frontend development in the last decade." That's what I can't agree with. We need the simplest way to achieve the desired outcome. Using higher-level means to do that doesn't mean deskilling.
The sea of divs and the abandonment of HTMLs is a result of the poorly built frameworks. Actual HTML and CSS has not abandoned those core ideas, and the frameworks often reimplement native features badly (e.g. the shadcdn radio button example). HTML crafted with care is not a sea of divs, it is markup one can read that logically and cleanly describes what you see.
".. preferences for popular music peak during early adolescence or mid-to-late teens, and that newer or older tracks do not command this same level of affection."
Most people generally don't like new music because it doesn't evoke the same emotions as what we heard at that heightened period of our lives.
Musicians haven't stopped wanting to make music and doing whatever it takes to make it, and commercial interests want to profit from that just like they did back then. There's so much good music being put out all the time, in new and old-fashioned ways.
This. GP is just old. I'm 51 one now and almost everyone I know seems to think the same thing. Unless you work at it, music later in life will never evoke the same emotions as those from when you were in your late teens/early 20s. Thing is though, it's really not true and if you work at it you realise pretty quickly that music today is just as good as it was at any time in the last 50 years (though I will concede that we'll probably never get the highs of the late 60s and early 70s ever again - if you were a teenager then, ok. Music now is definitely better than in the 80s though dude).
I couldn't do the mandatory onboarding training at a job once because the course web app had heavy scroll fade, and I got nauseous after a few minutes. I tried every few hours for weeks. Eventually I said I couldn't do it. They had to print it out to pdf for me, and gave me a pass on the courses that were dependent on animation to work.
I tried a web search for "Minimal text editor" and Minimal vs Obsidian" and couldn't find any results that seemed to be an obsidian or notion equivalent.
It is literally not clear. OP could mean that they read hundredths of lines of code for each code they write ie 100 lines of code written and 1-3 lines read. That is in fact literally what they wrote.
I read hundredths (100ths) of lines of code for one line of code I write.
My last PR of three lines of code moved into conditional tasked me to read about 8000 lines of code to understand and justify the reason to do exactly that.
What you're describing is making work useful, not meaningful. More people nowadays are rejecting work that has no meaning, connection to identity and makes no use of their intellect, even if that work is a means of some income.
Really? Which people are those? How did they get the privilege to pick and choose based on "meaning"? These claims seem totally disconnected from the way that most people actually live: they take the jobs they can get and make the best of it because they have bills to pay.
Hacker: That's not the point. Look at Latin. Hardly anybody knows that now.
Humphrey: Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.
Hacker: What?
Humphrey: Times change and we change with the times.
Hacker: Precisely.
Humphrey: Si tacuisses, philosophus manisses.
Hacker: What does that mean?
Humphrey: If you'd kept your mouth shut, we might have thought you were clever.
Hacker: I beg your pardon?
Humphrey: Not you, Prime Minister. That's the translation.
What a great way to say to someone that their words could've had some value if they hadn't been too crude/maybe rude and said things in a different manner lol.
I don't agree with the author's standpoint but I can kinda understand it but their passive aggression on the parent comment was just not needed and this clever way of saying it was kinda cool. I learnt something new to say but I am not sure how many ways it would be viable to say this
Any other quotes like this that you might want to share?
No need to ask him; ask ChatGPT. That’s what he did: “Please give me a latin phrase that says someone would seem more intelligent if they had remained silent.”
ChatGPT has lifted Latin putdowns from the province of Harvard classics major to computer programmers.
