Nothing saying masculine energy more than blaming someone who's not there to defend themselves. The fact that the blame is being shifted to a woman is just the cherry on top of this manliness.

If you rewind to what experienced devs who are seen as productive + expert debuggers do their earlier years: most keep going down the rabbit hole... and then making up for it by finishing the work, often by putting in more hours. Or spending time going down the rabbit hole on the side

Es alucinante cómo ha bajado la contaminación en París en 15 años. Anne Hidalgo lo ha llenado todo de carriles bici y no sólo ha reducido la contaminación en un 40%, sino que ha sido reelegida.

What hasn’t been agreed is who is announcing it first. So neither side is announcing it yet #F1

I routinely can't shake the feeling that coroutines is so much better at simpler concurrency (async await launch). But the minute you get into actual reactive streams (think Channels, Flows, multicasting), Rx had a more elegant api.

I've been called a luddite for saying this in the early days of coroutines and I think that was fair, cause I didn't understand coroutines well enough to make that statement.
But having used and switched over completely to coroutines for some time now, the feeling remains.

My own pet peeve is when folks use `?.let {} ?:` instead of if/else when checking null
It's less readable, and more error prone (because if "doThing()" accidentally returns null, then you end up running the ?: branch, which often is not what you actually want.
