I wonder if we should just rename JavaScript to something else (not ECMAScript, which is an awful name). Would be difficult to coordinate, but I think if runtimes start incorporating new naming, there could be enough of a consensus to move

I like to take photos and sometimes write things down! In a sense you're assembling a sound sculpture. But once you've found a great sound and lost it, sometimes you end up finding something very similar but not quite 100%! You se

I think one advantage to bouncing around/being self taught (as I have most typically been too) is it lets you draw connections between seemingly unconnected things! I think this is something lost in the act of being too focussed on lea

I found that they were a lot of subjects I’d learned a lot about without directly engaging in the thing itself. Learning about a programming language, vs actually building stuff in it. Learning the grammatical patterns of a language without

As someone who has ADHD/Autism and identifies as neurodivergent, I found it specifically helped me unpick some ways that the way my brain works has created bad habits. Note: I listened to the audiobook! The anecdotes about incredible l

Valid point! But I strongly believe it depends on how you define success. On paper, you’re right, Reddit is the textbook definition of a successful company, with insane amounts of soft power. However I think that it’s still valuable to look

He “leaked” the legally recorded private conversation after being libellously accused of blackmail by the company. I think it’s a perfectly legal and morally valid defence. This, plus the fact that permission has been given to Reddit to sho
