I think I agree with you, and I also think you probably know better than me, but - Python couldn’t become what Python became without doing this exact thing very deliberately, bordering on obnoxious at times. Fundamentals or “initial state” define the characteristic strengths and weaknesses for a language, but what to add and what not to, as well as “why” and “how”, over time determine the true shape and user experience (lacking a better word there) of a language.

Despite its reputation, in my view Python has always been far more opinionated about how to do things than most give it credit for.

Dotnet professionally and using lemmy.ml socially is hilarious to me and (sincerely) entirely consistent. Makes perfect sense, I just find it funny. (I’m not being sarcastic or attacking you, might not be clear lol)

Well, now, that’s useful, but we shouldn’t fail to mention good ol HCl, muriatic acid colloquially for this purpose, also great for cleaning oil stains from a driveway!

Happens a lot - my (quite small) shop was using NestJS for backends and my boss is way more experienced and wise than me. I unintentionally caused us to switch over to Python, which probably sounds as silly as JS to many, but - we deliver dope shit, on time and on budget 🤷‍♂️

FastAPI ftw, fight me! Lol jk Django is cool and useful and serves a different need, quite well from what I understand.

Dangit. That’s me too, I just saw your comment before posting one myself 😅

Rubbed me the wrong way too, dude is the exact opposite of AI. He IS clearly vibing in the photo however.

I haven’t bothered to actually search or troubleshoot yet, but since I’m here - have you had any problems with power management failing to automatically turn screens off when idle?

I don’t get consistent behavior there it seems (AKA it leaves them on when it shouldn’t), but that’s I think the only significant oddity I’ve found in the ~7 months or so I’ve been running Bazzite. And like I said I’ve done basically nothing yet to try to solve it, just wondering if you’ve seen it. I have the issue on a desktop and a laptop, using entirely different monitors (not even same brand) FWIW.

Yep I use KDE-flavored Bazzite and actually forgot GNOME was even offered! It works deliciously. Came over from Windows last winter finally and boy, the UI alone is just so much nicer.

Ouch! My dignity! Help!

As a (primarily) Python dev, I hope you use this and have a miserable time lol

Holy shit. That’s an amazing idea…

Blech, this is my least favorite kind of testing. I’d much rather have some all-encompassing integration tests even if they’re confusing AF, than the “yep the language still works as advertised” nonsense that this approach often amounts to.

You’ve never sharked a genie? What a prude!

Just wanna add another Bazzite recommendation! If you’re on the fence and feeling like “but my games!” - Bazzite’s got your back. Shit works great.

More and more businesses and events of all kinds just default to a Facebook presence though. We were gonna go to a rodeo on Friday. Had some rain in the afternoon, wanted to find out if there was any schedule impact etc. No way to find out, except on Facebook, or driving down there.

Needing a Facebook visit to enjoy a rodeo is stupid lol.

Oddly enough it works just as well to do so silently.

For me it’s less about fear and more about having a limited budget of time and effort to spend on learning things, so CSS and front end generally gets deprioritized. But that’s cuz I’m a back end kinda dev in my soul, lol.

I’ve seen the good points you’ve made elsewhere in this thread - I would indeed react very poorly to willy-nilly back end changes and I think you’re right that people don’t give CSS and visual styling the same degree of professional respect when making changes. And that sucks.

Interesting, I’m assuming you’re comparing running via ECS yeah? My current gripe is that doing everything serverless is reasonably priced, but it ends up adding a bunch of annoying complexity. Like enough that after more than a year we still don’t have things standardized all that well and I still get bitten by stuff sometimes.

Edit: sorry you said VMs referring to cloud hosted too, I missed that. Yeah, that’s expensive, and the serverless alternatives can get annoying.

I also grew up on Windows and spent my whole career with it, personal machines too. Decades of use. Made the switch over the holidays, only one Windows box left in the house and its days are numbered. I’m even replacing Chromebooks with old business class Dell laptops running Linux.

Totally done with these companies, but Windows in particular is just an abomination these days.
