I agree with the spirit of this piece, but I think Wordle is a weird choice to try to highlight the point. I enjoy Wordle, but I'm certainly not going to die without it. Not to downplay Wardle, but, as xeromal pointed out, it's pretty easy to crank out a clone. Lots of people already have. If NYT paywalls it, I'll either stop playing or find or create a clone.

I used to use Fira Code. Then I played this font game and I switched to JetBrains Mono.

This font ships with a ligature-less version.

Tangential thought: if you're using a passphrase you're not going to ever type manually, for example something you're going to generate once and stick in a secret management system, why not build the passphrase using all possible UTF-8 characters as your corpus? Seems like restricting yourself to ASCII characters is just giving an advantage to those attempting to brute force the passphrase.

That's the exact sentence that made me give up on this... blog entry? Whatever this thing is?

Me, too. And I even want to quit my job. But this did not inspire me to do so.

For people like me who don't have time to watch the talk, what's the answer to the question posed on the blog post? "Why aren’t we using the Language Server Protocol (LSP) or Language Server Index Format (LSIF)?"

They'll get a rude awakening and realize OP is being nice and that's not standard operating procedure.

I love it. Honestly, it could be less professional.

It's a personal choice. I respect their choice.

Meh. I am a tech people, and I'd gladly go to prison if all the other tech people had to go, too.

I like this idea a lot, but I don't trust it to stick around. Mozilla is going to pull a Google and this will be a very painful thing to undo.

Aw, they couldn't stuff one more in there to get a power of two? (I know it doesn't really matter for qubits, but still.)

The real story here is not about the code.

When it's your own personal project and you can be your own little tyrant, do whatever you want. Be as "clean" as you need to be. But this was at work, and Dan was being a bad coworker.

He snuck in a change in the middle of the night over a coworker's code. This code wasn't his responsibility. He didn't leave his thoughts on a PR where others could discuss it. He overwrote someone else's code without asking. There was no opportunity for discussion or collaboration. Dan's actions said he's right and his coworker is wrong. They said he doesn't trust his coworkers. They said he knows best. They said if you want something done right around here you have to do it yourself. Dan was not being a team player. This story is less about code and more about team dynamics.

I hope Dan knows this and he was just trying to sneak the message past people who don't take social cues as easily as others. I hope his boss didn't just tell him to revert his change. I hope his boss told him why.

EDIT: I just reread the article and I think Dan missed the point. This wasn't about the code, as I said. But Dan really does seem to think it's about the code.

Not quite "bans". They could face fines, which means it's legal for a price.
