A lot of companies make their most senior devs engineering managers, and expect them to stay technical. I assume this was the case here.

Totally get that. Just saying that different people want different things out of their jobs, and it’s a good thing that there are places where all of them can fit.

Isn’t that the whole point of hiring people that fit the company culture? I’ve worked at both types of places in different stages of my life. Both can feel good or bad depending on where you’re at. Don’t try to change the job to fit your needs. Find a different one.

So streaming services are really becoming on demand cable. How long until someone bundles a bunch and makes a company out of it?

I’ve worked on dev tooling in a fairly large company. Especially for cyber security, do not get a Mac. A lot of the tools are just different enough on a Mac that they will make your life much harder.

I wasn't trying to go into typing as much as using structs or objects when working with known data attributes. Sorry that it was a bit misleading.

The original actually went into using trees, sets, heaps, tries, etc., but it felt way too... ranty. After writing all that out, I realized that most of those other cases come up really infrequently, and that my biggest gripe was about not using structs or other pre-defined key container types. I thought it would be better to keep things short and focused.

Maybe I should re-write and publish a data structures edition.

I love the addition of dataclass. Makes refactoring such a breeze. If you need to extract some function, boom, you already have a class that you’re using everywhere.

I’ve used pine64 boards for this. They have a few more options and are always available.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it would be a Definitive Edition feature, if nothing else.

I am happy about this change. I wanted some extra damage out of the spell, but instead it just got mobbed and lucky if it got a turn.

If I just wanted a distraction, minor illusion doesn’t use a spell slot.

Yes! That would be the best. We should have access to our hardware. And just like most things you want to keep around for a long time (e.g. cars) you will have to tinker with it to keep it running smoothly into old age.

For sure there are better abstractions that would help. I still think that they only help with over abstraction to a certain point. Digging 5 classes deep just to figure out what's actually happening is just as, if not more, frustrating than digging 5 functions deep.
