Great news, everyone! This year's "State of CIDER" survey is out! (see https://t.co/HjpmnhbasM) Please, take the time to share there how you're using CIDER, so we can make it even better! I'd appreciate it if you shared the survey around, so we can get as much input as possible

Comparison between languages like #Python and #Rust that obviously have quite different characteristics and use-cases always amuse me https://t.co/eaHCcThxhU When was the last time you wondered whether to use Ruby/Python/PHP or Rust for some project?

Compare Rust and Python across performance, usability, tooling, and ecosystem. Learn which language is best for your next project.

Мащабен протест. Безобразията не остават без отговор! Пеевски има травма от 2013 г. И затова не понася свободните хора, които се изправят срещу него. Което само ни дава повече енергия, повече кураж, повече увереност. Че държавата може да бъде изчистена от тежкото корупционно

I wonder how this will end... Broadcom currently has a P/E of 96, while it was something like 10-12 before the AI boom boosted its growth...

Довечера в 18:00 пред Ларгото. Заради липсата на справедливост. Заради бюджет 2026. Заради арогантността към младите лекари и сестри. Заради цялата свинщина, в която превръщат държавата ни.

Did anyone get an iPhone Air? I have a feeling it's probably doing worse in sales even than the iPhone Plus that it replaced. (simply because I haven't seen many (any) of them in the wild)

Somehow I’ve totally missed https://t.co/HMQG6vIYLr (it’s a coding competition very similar to Advent of Code). Looks like fun!

Never have I ever agreed with someone more. @bbatsov has exquisite taste and his emacs blogs are amazing. Why I Chose Ruby over Python - (think)

This year I spent a bit of time playing with Python, after having mostly ignored it since 2005 when was learning it originally. I did like Python back then, but a few years afterwards I discovered...

On top of this - full-stack frameworks are kind of out of fashion these days, which doesn't help Rails. Don't get me wrong, though - I still think Rails is a pretty good framework and you can do a lot worse than it.

My take has always been that: - Rails failed to deliver on some of its promises (most notably - working on big Rails codebases comes with all sorts of issues that are no easy to solve) - Ruby failed to diversify away from Rails (90% of Ruby devs are Rails devs)
The apparent decline in Ruby use in recent years has more to do with the fact that people aren't building as much new stuff than anything about Ruby itself. A malaise has fallen on software dev: few exciting projects, skilled devs out of work. Good time to start something?

+1. It’s not as good as Magit, but it gets pretty close.
Lazygit is exceptionally good software. It's like software's greatest hits. Clear, quick, easy to command, drive-by-keyboard if you want, contrasty, glanceable, peacefully powerful, the list goes on. So impressed. https://t.co/n1XQf5ogmC

$KMB (Kimberly-Clark) buying Kenvue (J&J's old consumer products) makes absolutely no sense to me...

One of the use-cases for LLMs that I hate the most is that so many people have started using them for writing feedback (e.g. for peers and reports) and the end results are usually laughably bad. They use fancy and sophisticated language to tell you basically nothing of value.

One of the odd asymmetries in Vim is that you have the "u" keybinding for "undo", but "C-r" for "redo". I guess "replace" was deemed a more important action, although I'm not sure that's really the case in practice.
