  • IMO Discord is the best platform for this right now, which is unfortunate. The little I’ve tried Matrix has not been very impressive (single chatrooms, slow, bad self-hosting experience IMO), IRC is a bit better (though very dated in many regards, esp. user management) but still doesn’t have the categories/channels that make discord nice. And most other chats are proprietary with discord just being the best one.

    Which one would you like them to use?



  • I use SauceCode Pro (variant of SourceCode Pro with nerdfonts stuff). I’ve given up on changing it because everytime I do I find stuff that’s “non-standard” in the fonts I test and it bugs the hell out of me. @ signs are the absolute worst offenders, which is weird because they have a very uniform look everywhere that’s not a specialized “programming” monospace font.



  • Gradle is fantastic, but there is this mantra you have to chant while tinkering with it:

    I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle, I hate Gradle

    But once you get it to do whatever you want it’s way more powerful than Maven, since it’s actual code. Also you will never get me to voluntarily define my project structure in XML.


  • If a directory has multiple words in it I usually do kebab case: i-like-mine-in-a-way-i-can-read-them-properly. Both easier to read and type than pascal case.

    For more complex filenames I use a combination of kebab-case and snake_case, where the underscore separates portions of the file name and kebab-case the parts of those portions. E.g. movie-title_release-date-or-year_technical-specifications.mp4


  • I don’t think most people use oh-my-zsh. It’s very popular, and a lot of people use it, but I think most is a stretch.

    Either way, it’s just a set of plugins and configs so of course you can get it to work on any setup. Just saying that it’s not inherent to zsh, and you can probably get similar behavior in most shells with a similar config.
