    I have serve-web running as a service, but that only works well on desktop screen layouts — from my experience, it runs terribly on mobile.

    Congrats, if you’re trying to write software from your phone you should be fired as a software engineer.

    Again, it is stupid as fuck for any software developer to use VIM. If you have to telnet into some random bullshit server for whatever reason you’re obviously in a different position. But real, good, maintainable software is not written and built by teams insisting on creating learning curves for no reason.

    This is either false, or you didn’t understand the environment you were working in.

    You have to explicitly turn on the setting to have VSCode reformat on save, it’s not on by default, and when it is on, it’s there for a reason, because having software developers that do not all follow the same standard for code formatting creates unpredictable needless chaos on git merge. This is literally ‘working as a software developer on a team 101’.

    Lmao, devs who insist on using VIM and the terminal over better graphical alternatives just to seem hardcore are the worst devs who write the worst code.

    “Let me name all my variables with a single letter and abbreviations cause I can’t be bothered to learn how to setup a professional dev environment with intellisense and autocomplete.”






  • I found both sides rather aggressive to be honest. The implication that the use of “he” implies that the author assumes every user is male comes with an implied accusation of some form of misogyny.

    No, it didn’t. Go read the PR, it’s extremely polite. I in fact, would challenge you to try and think of a more polite and less accusatory way of bringing up the same issue. I can’t.

    Furthermore, the “generic he” has also been acceptable English for centuries, and has only been starting to be phased out in the past few decades.

    Yeah, you know what else has only been around for the past “few” decades? Literally every single computer and piece of software ever made, you know what literally none of them do? Refer to their users as “he”.

    You want to make it sound like it’s a simple ESL mistake? That’s fine you’re welcome to believe that, but do you know how I respond to translation mistakes when I’m speaking a foreign language? I laugh and say oops, sorry, my mistake I’ll fix that. I don’t say “don’t bring your politics into this”.

    I’m sorry but you are making up a fantasy to try and believe that the author wasn’t being an explicit asshole.
