"We grand juried his ass, but that motherfucker didn't blink."

Rest in peace, Horseface Pakusa. Season 2 of The Wire is an absolute banger. Thanks for being a part of it.

Inventors of this flavour are brilliant and surprisingly innovative. Here's a video that explains the creative process behind it.

I actually worked for two of them at once. It's quite a cult mentality. You even get swag if you make it to list, such as a tote bag which says "I made it to Forbes 30U30" with big bold letters.

They all follow more or less the same routine: wake up very early, do a million niche sports and share their "unique" experiences on LinkedIn, such as that one night in the woods which took their career to the next level.

They appear busy while getting nothing meaningful done, hire bunch of consultants for making decisions, and delegate even the smallest executable to someone else because "their time is more valuable".

The difference between them and you is that they are really good at grifting, networking, selling their failures and shortcomings as a success story.

I have yet to meet one that truly made a difference: The entrepreneurial hero who made a tangible difference by getting their hands dirty and creating value for the greater good. Until then, I will keep believing in the stereotypes.

You need a developer license to distribute an app on Apple's App Store. It costs 99 USD per year.

Platform choice is determined by your target audience and your goals. I previously developed for both iOS and Android. Without mass adoption, Linux mobile apps would not be economically feasible.

My position is different as a hobbyist but I do not have a use case for a Linux mobile app at the moment.

They broke my fucking balls for trivial reasons during approval process. However, it seems like you get a free pass and a feature if you are the creator of a spyware with a trademarked name. Truly genius at work.

I love Tony's as much as the next guy. However, be aware that a test conducted in 2022 found high levels of lead in Chocolonely Dark Chocolate variant.

Consistent, long-term exposure to even small amounts of heavy metals can lead to a variety of health problems. The danger is greatest for pregnant people and young children because the metals can cause developmental problems, affect brain development, and lead to lower IQ, says Tunde Akinleye, the CR food safety researcher who led this testing project.

Thanks!

I am also curious. Got burnt once thanks to Docker acquisition. Wondering if it is the right time to consider Terraform alternatives.

I elaborated on it below. Your team will grow and shrink. No guarantee that each developer will bring the same IDE. This is especially true for open source projects.

If it works your team, no need to be dogmatic about it. Just be careful about what you put there and agree on a set of sane defaults with your team. Your project should build and run tasks without needing a specific IDE.

Linting rules and scripts should never live in an IDE-specific directory. I should not need to know your IDE configuration to run scripts and lint my files.

I have yet to come across a language that requires configuration to be stored that way. All modern languages have separate configuration and metadata files for use cases you have defined.

As for workspace defaults, whatever IDE configuration works for you is not guaranteed to work for others. Shoving extension suggestions down their throat each time IDE is booted should not be a part of your source code, as IDE extensions should not be needed to run your code.

I personally strongly advise against committing IDE junk to version control. Assuming your IDE workspace defaults are "sane" for the rest of the contributors is not a good practice.
