  One day, Valve will be under different ownership, and we will regret the time we fought for their monopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In some cities they are, and it’s a beautiful thing. An example is Canberra, Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What non-IDE tekst editor do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a cool editor, but after decades of Vim motor memory I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the cursor / selection changes. I really wish there was an option to just make selection work like Vim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield player claims you can farm 100 levels in just 5 hours using this method⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That title is as clickbaity as a YouTube thumbnail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to learn next, Swift or Rust⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Swift only treats Apple OSes as first class citizens - even though technically you can use it on other platforms it’s a painful and limited experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield anime series drops out of nowhere, watch it all here⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Morrowind scoring lower than Oblivion and Skyrim is a travesty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Source is safely_endangered on IG. Original has an extra panel but I actually think this version is better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unit testing isn't enough. You need static typing too.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember my time doing Ruby.

  The Ruby community was really great at doing automated testing and it’s actually where I really cut my teeth on testing, but if you go back and look at the tests you’ll find heaps of them are testing and checking types for functions. It almost felt like people were building static typing using automated tests.

  Some people bang on about static typing getting in the way of agility, but the reality is that you either end up spending the time creating extra tests, or you end up cutting corners and creating unreliable software which you’ll spend a lot of time troubleshooting down the road.
