"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually," he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+Linux." I…

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell…

Hey @lexfridman , since @Neovim has won most loved/admired editor several years in a row for the Stackoverflow survey (and it's the editor 10+% of devs use), maybe you'd be interested in talking about open source developer tools and making software that developers can love?

Parenting question: My son is turning 3 soon, so I'm thinking about graduating him from vsc*de and js onto something a bit more advanced (maybe emacs + haskell). Once he's more mature, we'll move to the more refined things of life (nvim + OCaml) Anyone experience this before?

I don't get hard-core VSC*de developers The gap between VSC*de and a minimal editor (nvim) is larger than Milky Way I understand the ease-of-use argument but kickstart.nvim exists Are they really more productive using a browser-IDE, or it's simply resisting the terminal?

Typescript bad. Rust bad. Python bad. Go bad. Bash bad. I get it. Valid criticisms exist of each. But who do you propose as a positive language role model? The noodle-armed Haskell guy du jour ain't winning programmer hearts and minds.
