  • I tried using VScode to play around with Golang. I had to quit coding to take care of something else. I hit save, and suddenly I have way fewer lines of code. WTF? Why did/would saving delete code? After much digging, it turns out because the all knowing VSCode thought because I had not yet referenced my variables, I never would, and since my code I wanted to save and continue later wouldn’t compile, it must be quelled. Off with its head!

    Anyway, I decided to use vim instead. When I did :wq, the file was saved exactly as I had typed it.


  • I definitely have moments like this too. I have been reflecting more lately and trying to decide if the feeling is temporary or permanent. I have been pondering what else I would do. Are you considering a career change, and if so, what would you do instead? I don’t know if I could transition to something else without going back to school, and it would kill me a bit inside to take out more student loans.







  • They give the example of “job” vs “occupation” but then talk about the headlines "Meghan and Harry are talking to Oprah. Here’s why they shouldn’t say too much” vs. “Are Meghan and Harry spilling royal tea to Oprah? Don’t bet on it.”

    This doesn’t seem to fit the simple words narrative they just set up. To me, this is standard language vs. slang. The first one sounds like it may be objective and fact-based, and the second sounds like it was written by a gabby middle schooler.

    I would likely not be interested in the content either way, but I would be far more likely to click on the drivel-free headline.
