Was a nightmare making extensions in the previous version. The documentation was very scattered/cluttered between different jupyterlab versions. Don’t think I’ll be coming back to it for 4.0.

That has more to do with discrimination against the unemployed.

Sounds like self projecting

I once bought a friend of mine a thousand Twitter followers as a prank. He wasn't happy.

As he should be, that wasn’t a well thought through prank.

I’m always surprised by how much others like typescript. Out of all the languages I have to use, typescript is the one that feels the most like pulling teeth. Maybe I just don’t know how bad it truly was to work with a really large JavaScript project without types and that’s why people love it, but without that experience it just feels like all the hassle of types without most of their benefits.

Sorry, but what do you mean?

If you said any other career except programming I'd agree with this, but programming is literally the least gate-kept of the high-paying careers. Anyone can break into programming, all you need is the internet, interest and aptitude to understand code.

I do think it’s hard to break into initially — if you are approaching it from any other industry (such as what I did), it can take a few jobs to make the leap into a high paying career.

Edit: not trying to derail what you had said either, just a comment

Whenever I see articles like this one, I imagine this is the kind of PR that US colleges would use to deflect conversational topics they don’t want happening. Get people talking about “how do we get into college?” (with the assumption that college is where we want to be) instead of “why is the US college system broken?”

Not saying this is that, but just a thought and I’d be curious to see if this is a trend that continues.

Maybe it’s just me but I find the SQL much easier to read in all the examples given.

> “I’m not really a fan of shooters tbh, I’m more into puzzle games.” > “Oh, I haven’t seen any good puzzle games lately! You have any recommendations?”

This is not how a conversation goes. The typical response would be not to engage about puzzle games, but to tell you in blisteringly mind-numbing detail how great the shooter they're currently playing is and how they got out of a tight situation and blasted the opposition.

Because that's the conversation they want to have with you, and they won't be dissuaded.

That’s not how my conversations typically go. If they responded like that I would exit the conversation and not enter into conversations with them at a later date.

Also: forgot the evolution into its final form, which is a list of rule objects.

A practical example:

Your program starts out accepting a config file that looks like this:

    enableLogging: true
Then it changes into:

    logLevel: WARN
Then that becomes:

    logging: {
        level: WARN
        file: system.log
    }
Then:

    logging: 
        fileLogger: {
            level: WARN
            file: system.log
        }
And finally:

    logging: 
        - fileLogger: {
            level: WARN
            file: system.log
        }
        - consoleLogger: {
            level: DEBUG
        }

The truth of this comment leaves me feeling somewhat emotionally violated.

I know you’re making fun of me, but I still had a chuckle myself.
