I’m impressed the held on for this long

That’s a stupid question it doesn’t deserve an answer. You should be ashamed you even thought about it.

Keep your commits small. Merge often. That will reduce the likelihood of terrible merge conflicts.

If you’re not sharing your work with your team mates for a long time, then you’re setting yourself up for trouble.

That’s a good one.

A rule of thumb is that if it has map and flatMap (or equivalent), then chances are that it’s a monad.

Or for those using Java: Stream<T> is a monad

It’s like a burrito

Automated confirmation bias

Dedicate yourself with a more long term project (1+ months). I think the best way to learn is through the pain that comes with larger code bases.

Start small. Add more and more features. If there’s something you don’t know how to make, find a tutorial or a guide and make it work with your project.

Eventually you’ll discover pain points in your project. The feature you want to make doesn’t fit well with your current code. This is good time to learn from your previous mistakes and adapt your old code for the better (refactoring).

Over time you’ll learn more and more techniques to write code that can grow. You’ll see for yourself why some coding styles are considered bad and why some are better. This is difficult to see just by working with short term weekend scripts.

Don’t worry about failing. No one writes ”perfect” code. You’ll learn from your mistakes.

Why should we hope for that? Let’s use this moment to embrace Linux instead and never look back.

People are having relationships with robots though.

I miss when Dogecoin was just a satire of cryptocurrencies.

The manual is probably outdated either way

I’m mostly using my phone as an all in one multimedia device I can fit in my pocket.

I don’t see the flip phone as a good replacement for this kind of use. It wasn’t back in those days either. We used dedicated MP3 players or portable radio for music listening for example.

But is Elasticsearch web scale?
