I do as well and I also cherry pick a lot specifically with —no-commit to pull together disparate ideas from various sources. I am always fascinated when git usage comes up in threads because there are so many ways people use it that differ from my own and we all seem to find value in it!

I can confirm it is not just you. I’ve had similar experiences in other subreddits. Eventually I just stopped trying because it’s super demoralizing trying to navigate the myriad of rules in each subreddit.

IIRC the mascot is a lizard so here the comment is portraying a Zig enthusiast keen on promoting the ease of learning Zig as a lizard. That was my take.

This is great advice. I also try to make incremental gains in projects as it is the one way I’ve experienced consistent progress. This includes things like learning handstands as a project. A little bit of forward progress is better than no progress. I’ve heard it said it’s like putting pennies (or similar currency) into a savings account. It never seems like much but over time it adds up. The hardest thing for me was recognizing the value in those pennies. Ego, insecurity, etc want the big cathartic jump in progress.

Thanks for sharing this perspective. We have a 9yo and it's already the case some of her classmates have devices that are connected to social media. Very handy advice!

Is it me or does this article seem “off”. The verbatim repetition of the thesis multiple times makes me think this wasn’t written by a person.

I wish I could upvote more than once. Thanks for this perspective!

Seconding Sublime Merge. I've been using it since it was launched and it has been a solid tool.

I second this. I would include The Go Programming Language as well. I will buy any book the Kernighan has had a hand in writing.

If for no other reason than simplified debugging I find there is value. Maybe I’m old but if you have more than one UUID involved in the debugging I’m more likely to trip up than just integers.

Just seconding this as a sane way to use UUIDs IME. Basically the sequential integer PK is the “internal ID”. IIRC in SQLite regardless of type or existence of PK there is a private sequential integer. Super handy pattern to use.

Seconding this recommendation. Bob (author) did such an amazing job of that book. I proudly display it in my office. The illustrations alone are worth the cost.

I second your opinion that learning to write an interpreter is a great idea at some point in a career. It definitely helped me gain a new level of understanding and, well, confidence in my knowledge of how pretty much any language “works”. It makes everything more interesting, too!

I second this. It is amazing the level of thought that went into the game design.

I agree on this approach. It's essentially the same strategy that was touted for scoring high on the LSAT back when I took. The key was being able to identify the solution strategy from the finite set of problem types then quickly apply it with muscle memory.

I also struggle to find just the right light theme. I really enjoy the subtle colors in yours. Often I find accents and somtiemes primary color choices to be too intense against a sepia background.

My memory isn’t what it used to be but I recall that the Bond Spacesuit character did have the ability to jump. I have the original cartridge and a somewhat functional N64. I’ll rig it up today and verify.

Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome tool. I also like seeing it is written in Ada. I don’t often find open source tools I like to use written in Ada. Super well organized, too!
