Alphabetically sorting code is useful!
* Makes it easier to scan to find an item.
* Harder to accidentally add duplicates.
* Lowers the probability of merge conflicts (compared to always adding/removing items at one end of the list)

Rust use: up, C++ use: down, memory vulnerabilities: down, vuln severity: down.
I'm starting to think a secular decline of C++ is finally upon us

Writing code is easy, naming variables is hard.

Compile your C/C++ code using as many compilers as you can. Different compilers find different issues/warnings in your code, so use more compilers to maximize the number of checks. #cplusplus #programming

It's exciting to see announcing support for the use of ! It's been a long journey, and I look forward to watching them evaluate, adopt, & hopefully even contribute to some of the amazing libraries available in the #rustlang ecosystem

ChatGPT to me seems to weld an English professor’s writing skills to an encyclopedia’s knowledge base and a kindergartener’s reasoning ability, producing impressive and highly polished nonsense. The screen is on - at 8K 120Hz - but nobody’s at the keyboard.

If you are wondering why so many programmers are pedantic jerks, we become who we work with. The computer is the ultimate pedantic jerk.

"Nobody uses Rust in production", he emailed (with Thunderbird) from his laptop (running Windows) to a mailing list (on AWS, behind Cloudflare), which I then read (in Firefox) on my phone (running Android) after clicking a link (in Discord) to the list archive (served by Fastly).

Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev “Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?” and they’ll say “sure, that’s easy” and then you’ll ask “can the player wear a scarf?” and they’ll go “oof”

GitHub Copilot is really amazing. I used to spend hours writing error-prone & sometimes incorrect code manually, but now, that error-prone incorrect code is automatically generated in seconds.

We should keep reposting this every day until the end of time, yet I'm not sure if it will help.
Yearly roadmaps, quarterly OKRs, sprint plannings and "accurate estimates" are one big fat lie which is actually okay if it wasn't physically harmful to the business and the team. twitter.com/chris_hurney/s
