A YoY inflation rate of ~10% is most assuredly not natural in most of the developed world. I fully understand why it happened, but that serves no justification for the negative impact on the lives of the majority of the population.


“Introduction to the Theory of Computation” by Michael Sipser, a book commonly referred to as simply “Sipser”. My ToC course in uni was based around that book and while I didn’t read the whole thing I enjoyed it a ton.

Sipser is an absolute banger of a book though.


You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. Python is strongly typed. Initialize a variable to an integer, another to a string, then try to assign one to the other. The interpreter will scream at you. What is is is dynamically typed, also known as “duck typing”.


Very mixed feelings on GitHub’s recent approaches to security. Tighter security measures are great, but deprecating password authentication on git operations seems obtuse to me. What if I want to push a change from a machine that’s not mine and doesn’t have my registered SSH key on it? I don’t have a Yubikey or anything similar nor do I intend to get one in the foreseeable future.


Loved using it when I took a brief stint as an Android dev at my company. Later talked to my tech lead to see if he was open to me writing future backend developments in Kotlin but he said it would be too much unneeded work to get the entire team to learn a new language to keep the backend maintainable.
