   Doesn’t “tanha” mean “by yourself” in Hindi?

   I'd say learning things on your own, even if they take time, is still better as you don't have to actively force yourself to develop that mindset. We often rush towards our goal without realizing how important the journey (small steps) is. Isn't reaching the goal more worthwhile if you have enjoyed the journey along the way? Isn't that what it means to be human?

   Microsoft has gone so deep down the gutter, it is almost unbelievable. I am waiting for the day their profits start taking a hit due to a collective boycott.

   Gotta love the JS ecosystem where devs move faster than users.

   Preach. I’m also more of a balcony enjoyer.

   Wow this is incredible

   Ehh, not interested in HK or similar games with such a high difficulty bar. Life is too short to be playing games that are not fun to play (for me).

   For me, it is close to perfect.

   That’s one of my many reasons for sticking with Mac. I know the bar is higher and I just enjoy the consistency between first party and third party applications.
10. rochak Jul 21, 2025 parent

    Yup. I don’t mind it though as this field is riddled with names that convey absolutely nothing about the actual thing.
11. rochak Jul 9, 2025 parent

    Absolutely! I’m at a stage where I prefer to buy a subscription via Apple. It’s so simple to cancel. Not to mention how quick Apple is in general refunding any of the wrong/unsatisfactory purchases.

    Nice. Looks awesome. I had been thinking of building something similar for AWS. Definitely gonna reference some of the source to build that. Thanks!

    By now, everyone and their family knows that can get lot of updates just by including Rust in the title. It is what it is.

    Good resource to couple this resource with: https://linuxjourney.com.

    Microsoft/Windows’s ecosystem. As an example, any general guide on the Internet or on Microsoft’s end is written assuming you are developing on and for Windows. I want to stay away from Windows as much as I possibly can but it just isn’t possible. That’s not the case with the other languages/ecosystems I mentioned.

    I work on backend (distributed systems) leveraging languages like Java, Python, Go, Ruby and TypeScript.
17. rochak May 22, 2025 parent

    I (and countless others I know) simply refuse to learn/use a language that locks you in an ecosystem. I haven’t taken Kotlin, C# or any of the Apple proprietary tech jobs and never will.

    I'd say it is more about how esoteric LaTeX extensions/plugins felt like when I picked it up (I was just getting into the field back then). I am sure that now, after years of experience, I would be more open to give it a shot again. Unfortunately, I am no longer into research anymore. I did have fun converting my LaTeX resume to Typst though.
19. rochak May 5, 2025 parent

    I remember having to learn LaTeX to write my research papers. Probably the worst time I’ve had learning something. As someone who has OCD for making everything consistent, trying to achieve the same in LaTeX made me wanna give up research itself. In fact, now that I think about it, I did give up research due to it.

    Why does a user need to know and do this to get a just bearable experience? Has the bar gotten so low?
21. rochak May 1, 2025 parent

    I don't know what is going on at Microsoft but words can't express how fast their ecosystem has been going down the gutter. At this point, I do not recommend Microsoft's products if a good enough alternative exists (many times it does).

    This is such a big pro imo. Gone are those days when my hands/wrists used to be in pain from all the typing. Vim removed all that pain and made me look forward to typing as a fun activity. God bless Bram.

    +1. Personally, I’m a fan of TUIs too that make things a bit more user friendly. Just imagine an internal TUI framework that has components for each internal service that you can lego-build into personalised TUI dashboard. Hmm, seems like something I could work on the side at work. Would be a huge undertaking but very interesting.

    Preface: My opinions are my own and not my employer’s.

    Curious how long ago were you at AWS? For context, I spent the last few years in AWS working on an internal platform service whose entire purpose was to reduce operational toil by helping you codify your operational runbooks and execute them safely and automatically. Atuin Desktop is similar to that service in some sense but that service just offered much more features.

    Now that’s incredible

    +1. I see it being helpful for the differently abled but for everyone to just speak out loud their every action would drive everyone nuts in a public setting. Not to mention I can type “code” much faster than if I were to speak it.
27. rochak Mar 15, 2025 parent

    Umm, doesn’t Go do so as well? Personally, I’ve had a better experience working with Go tooling.

    Very few for-profit projects have stayed as good (or improved) post their change to for-profit. If money becomes the sole driving factor for growth, no one can prevent enshittification. It is what it is...

    What a dumbass decision
30. rochak Feb 16, 2025 parent

    It is by far the worst platform I’ve seen…ever. I use it only as a resume fallback and to find job positions. That’s it. If someone has an extension that blocks all social media aspect of it, please let me know.
