@torb @Crell @sushee As I wrote, I'm not trying to attack you in any way. It's just funny how many misconceptions there still are even after a decade. I don't know of any language that seems to be as misunderstood. But then again, someone recently told me monitors in Linux are almost impossible to configure because of all the config files and I genuinely couldn't remember the last time I opened an XF86Config.

@torb @Crell @sushee No offense, but your "I dislike PHP because it's not typed" is the exact reason why PHP devs wonder where all the ideas about it come from. 🤣
I personally haven't written a single PHP project without types and later strict enforcement in the last 10 years. I'd guess 95% of my entire codebase (due to some libraries opting to be backwards compatible) is typed.

@MikeDunnAuthor Most likely the janitor will be the only person in a company who actually knows how to build a guillotine.

@agwa The advantage of being an abstraction layer often making it much easier to just get rid of what you don't want. I applaud their efforts to implement parts of their code in Rust, that's a serious no-bullshit approach!

@davidculley@hachyderm.io I wouldn't say so, because you never know and some protection certainly doesn't hurt at all.
But it's fun to see an electrical engineer trying hard to destroy hardware and not being able to.

@davidculley@hachyderm.io @fabio@manganiello.eu There's a video of Electroboom where he deliberately but unsuccessfully tries to damage components with static discharge. It escalates quickly.

@StrangeNoises@mastodon.social @fabio@manganiello.eu Which is one of the best feelings software development can give you.
Sure, there's "being proud of a feature, bugfix, or release", but nothing beats "I just deleted 1000 lines of code today and everything's still fine if not better".

@funkwhale@social.funkwhale.audio Sorry in advance if that's old news to you, but have a look at PoW, proof of work, concepts. I'm using it for all my forms lately and it almost entirely reduces bots to zero. It's a bit annoying to users, but far less than having to "click all images with a car".
