  I used to work with a pretty great coder.

  Everything he’s done in the last 6 months has been trash

  Yeah I guess, but it’s still annoying to have identically named tools that do the same job but aren’t compatible. Or, like, base64 -d on macos can gobble the last char of output. So then you have to homebrew coreutils or something, but it just means that stuff that you feel should work compatibly out-of-the-box doesn’t, and writing *nix scripts without perl is just a pita.

  I forget what my point here is.

  As long as you don’t try to use sed or grep. Literally the only reason I learned perl was because of the flag incompatibilities between macos Unix and Linux utils.

  Oh man, when people at work do it… ‘i asked claude and it said…’. never once has this been right, or even a fruitful avenue of enquiry.

  moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

  I mean, that’s clearly a rule that considers size of sub a factor, so, um, what?

  Agreed, the narrative to which you’re responding is the sales pitch and won’t be born out by reality long-term

  Any more than 1 seems too much. Sometimes a whole one is too much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well opinions on this differ, but I think it’s a process, not a body of knowledge. You learn to apply the process…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, because you didn’t study it at school and so it doesn’t come as naturally as it might

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok ok fine I’ll bite. Studying philosophy is a matter of refining your approach to problems, not memorising what some gnarled old Greek dude thought 2000 years ago

  Also literally everyone has a unique philosophy.

  This is very good trolling and I took a second

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah I suspect that’s part of the reason it’s slipped out of the curriculum. Shit teachers co-opted it for religion

  Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this
