For anyone else wondering which PTA solution to try/choose, I found this summary: https://plaintextaccounting.org/FAQ#which-pta-app-should-i-c... I think I'll finally give PTA and beancount a go this year. I'

Yeah, Xcode's Metal debugger is fantastic, and Metal itself is imo a really nice API :]. For whatever reason it clicked much better for me compared to OpenGL. Have you tried RenderDoc for the OpenGL side? Afaik that's the equival

I personally appreciate Java (and the JVM) much more after having tried other languages/ecosystems that people kept saying were so much better than Java. Instead, I just felt like it was a "the grass is greener" every time. T

The actual jobs and networking aspect is fine imo, but I loathe the feed/content, even the SWE-related stuff is a lot of times bad or clickbaity. I hide the feed + sidebar with a uBlock Origin filter and it's a much nicer experien

I like the idea of LSPs and have tried switching to Vim/Neovim/Emacs a few times, but Jetbrains' refactoring/intellisense is just so much better imo

I guess it depends on the area, but I thought Rust jobs were still hard to come by even today? For jobs, ecosystem and general productivity my go-to is always Java/C#/Go, if you learn one of those I think you'll be set, so Go

My favorite aspect is the music, I regularly listen to the OST while working: https://youtu.be/tqMuvFEKCOk I've played a decent amount (never finished it), but I never understood why people say it's a horror game?

AMD's ROCm just isn't there yet compared to Nvidia's CUDA. I tried it on Linux with my AMD GPU and couldn't get things working. AFAIK on Windows it's even worse.

Made the move myself at the start of this year and I love it. For those considering it, I wrote this blog post which might be helpful: https://neluplatonov.com/posts/2024/the-mere-mortals-guide-t... Caveat: I don&

Same, kanji is also the hardest for me, I have a much easier time learning new words by sound/hearing. But, I know some people that are the complete opposite & can't learn enough kanji, ymmv でもやはり高低アクセントはもっと苦しいと思います。あれは無理ですww

Oh wow this is the first time I've read about this. Did you wake up frequently during the night or were there any other signs? I have somewhat of a deviated septum, and even had surgery done half a year ago, but it didn't really c

Yep, I've only started using Swift a couple of months ago, but Xcode just isn't pleasant to use imo (though I'm probably spoiled by Jetbrains' IDEs), and the Swift extension for VS Code is clunky. I'm still really s

Exactly. There can be many, many reasons why something worked for someone else but won't work for you. There are so many variables at play. Plus, a lot of advice isn't individualized. I really liked this talk from Patreon's C

As someone who's mostly worked with Java & the JVM, I've thought about switching to C# & .NET/CLR for a while. To me C# & some of the tooling/frameworks seem really nice. What made me curious was the Avaloni

Indeed, the AWS/Azure certifications are quite popular/sought-after & the only ones that seem worth getting, even for non-consulting jobs. Also the Java Professional certificates are the big ones for Java shops.
