Yep, senior Haskell developer here and I have had their recruiters hounding me many times, even though I have told them to fuck off again and again.

I always find it so funny that they chose Haskell. They are desperate to hire, but no one in the Haskell community actually wants to work for them. I'm in a discord server with a bunch of veteran Haskellers and everyone there won't touch them with a 100ft pole.

Yes, he is a dumbass, but frankly this is exactly what's needed. More and more of his base having reality hit them in the face, complaining loudly, and fracturing his support.

Its query planner is also much, much more powerful. Like it's not even close.

There's hardly any good reason to use MySQL today. Postgres is easier and nicer to work with, with a strong community backing it.

SQLite is completely different from both and has entirely different usecases.

Postgres, hands down. It's far better than MySQL in every way.

Nah, neovim made too many breaking changes and prioritizes the wrong things. I'd much rather the spirit of vim continue, albeit with a better organizational structure.

I'm American and have never washed chicken nor heard of anyone doing that. What a crazy thing to do.

So you're just gonna sit there and ignore the vast history and tradition of Jazz, classical, and music education in the west, huh? Neat.

Or just, you know, sit to pee like a civilized person.

I don't think you've paid enough attention. Back when ChatGPT first launched, they were treated as saints.

The negative opinions have corresponded with public sentiment souring towards them in general (this did happen quite quickly, however).

The best is trying to change the styling of page-builder plugins that shove their css god-knows-where in the Frankenstein's monster that is the WordPress database schema.

I'm so glad that I'm a million miles from WordPress now. I'm convinced it's propped up entirely by contractors and ad agencies with minimal to no understanding of how to actually build software and just build on a mountain of hacks to do anything at all.

SpongeBob first aired in 1999, so if you were born '81 or later, it was probably on when you were in high school. But yeah if you're in your mid-late 40s you would have just missed it.
