GET REKT

A tiny self-sustaining universe to look at. basically the matrix.

Blue pill: master LITERALLY every computer language on earth and be able to use them to their full potential to create LITERALLY any idea that comes to you.
Red pill: master LITERALLY every linguistic language that exists and be able to speak fluently with every human on earth

I picked the blue pill and people thought I'm weird.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

Said to a new team member before they embarked on a journey of pain as I took them through a huge web app made with jQuery (think: 10K lines of DOM manipulation horror), WCF, and sadness.

This whole year is a glitch in the Matrix.

Which one are you?

God I hate this loop they have us running in. It was nicer before I was self aware of it.

Morpheus: Do you want to know what is the Dark Side, Neo?

Neo swallows and nods his head.

Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Dark Side is. You have to see it for yourself.

Neo: How?

In Neo's right hand, Morpheus drop a red pill in his left, a blue pill.

Morpheus: If you take the red pill, you will join the Dark Side. If you take the blue one, the story will end. After this, there is no going back.
Remember that all I am offering is the truth. Nothing more.

Neo opens his mouth and swallows the red pill.

So... are you brave enough like Neo, to join the Dark Side?

Constantly torn between editing live and taking the time to edit in dev, then push live.

fast/risky or slow/safe

I'll take the red pill please.

What it feels like when you tell a newbie coder about reflection and all the stuff you can do with it.

Dude in my Calc 2 class just bitched about iPhones having "shitty software" referencing that bug from around ~6 years ago, when a specific iMessage text would reboot your phone. IMO, 99% of what Apple does well is software. UI is subjective, but final cut pro is unbelievable in terms of functionality for its price, their software is so well optimized that iPhones have been able to use comparably tiny batteries and still compete. They are consistent throughout their company with software design, while companies like Google are so stratified it took years before their material design had been implemented in all their services, there are still a few that aren't (not to mention the meme of Google killing off all their projects). I hate tablets, but the iPad pro has the best software/hardware implementation of any I've ever seen. Apple's interconnectivity between devices is unbelievable, whether it's Continuity features or the setup process just recognizing group devices around and pulling data to create consistent account info and saving you taps. Siri is shit, but apart from that their software isn't bad enough that you should complain about that instead of...

Their Macs are fucking pressure-cookers, and their fuckin marketing department is like a different company all-together, and their anti-fix-it-yourself policies are so user hostile that they're toe-to-toe with being as abusive to customers as Oracle.

TL;DR the biggest scam Apple has pulled off is not that the sheep still think Android and PC users are living in 2010, but they've convinced the sheep that they know what shitty software is. At that point they're too many levels deep and there is no red-pill strong enough for them.

Can The Matrix be actually built..???

Angular gets shit done. So we basically bake cookies in their angular-cli? Its fuarking great! I choose the RED pill!
