      The star wars prequels are my favorites. The original trilogy is also very fun, but not really to my tastes.

      PERL, then Ruby

      We may be mortal enemies!

        Ruby was the first programming language I learned and it was such a great entry point into learning for me.

        Now I mainly am using JS in some form (MERN Stack guy), but it did help me learn Python which I use for lots of scraping and even some IoT prog with MicroPython.

        All of this just to say, Ruby is a fine language. I don’t know much about PERL though

          Ruby is really cool, and it’s fun to write, I just find it difficult to follow because when I read Rails code there’s so much magic going on and the inheritance structure makes it hard to find things.

          I relate to the philosophy of Python “explicit is better than implicit”, it’s my favourite language.

          I’ve come around to liking JS, I like the ideas of its design despite the quirks.

            Never lay your eyes on spring boot then.

            /* This works because there's a bean with a specific name and a 
            specific dependency that doesn't even share the same namespace. 
            
            I don't know what it does, I think it's dark magic. 
            Don't refactor any of this! */

        BAH!! Real developers only use ‘1’ and ‘0’ anything else and you’re just some casual normie.

      i also unironically like ios and mac and i feel your pain. the apple “community” online is probably the biggest example of people not understanding that you can criticize the shortcomings of a product you paid for

        Here here.

        I’ll be the first guy to in detail list all crappy things about macOS. But it’s my favourite OS, and I’m happy with it.

        I don’t like the vapid criticisms that it’s a toy and can’t do anything from peine who’ve never tried it, and I agree with the criticisms that Apple charges way too much and is awful for gaming.

      I wish the main cast of Valerian and Passengers were switched.
