…ooof. I have a high pain tolerance as well… Totally get this. A lot of things breeze off, then I wonder why I’m suddenly bruised, or my toe is broken.

This applies so hard to programmers, as well. I love making things automated, but I never have the time to make them properly.

Was gonna suggest this theme. I love it in my light daily driver.

Oh! This was a good one! I remember reading this on Bash.org. ahh, thanks for the reminder.

I’d love to see your .editorconfig.

What’s that in your project root? …pom.xml? Misread that at first as porn.xml.

Then I think I should learn Crystal. ;) I’ll gladly program in a language with the same name as myself. Hahah.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your insight!

I’m a self-taught programmer as well. Started with the basics way back when like Atari basic, GWbasic, built into Forth of all things, then C++/C#, PHP, JavaScript, etc., then into frameworks like Node, React, Vite , Laravel, CakePHP and stuff.

I followed the Ruby online tutorial. It seems a lot like Zoho’s Deluge, but I heard it isn’t as optimized as Rust, so thank you for talking about Rails :) I’m excited to see what I can build!

Also thanks for the warning about outdated Gems.

I’m learning Ruby on Rails. Would you recommend it as a good website framework? Or something else? I’ve already tried Laravel, CakePHP, Vue/Vite, and making my own from scratch .

Long live Fixedsys! My favourite font since before time.

I found a version with ligatures. Love the thick equally spaced characters. Makes stuff so nice to read.

Turtle day? Then give praise to Tortoise SVN!

Thank you for your service in keeping my early programming safe on someone else’s computer!
