Spring's here: birds sing, pandemic rages. Time to update the #introduction.

disclaimers:

  • not great about CWs, especially for food / beverage / eye contact pics
  • public toots and replies-to-self forward to Twitter unless tagged #nobirb

I swear these shots are the two seconds right before a truly epic fight scene between us and the quarantine zombie horde.

Anyways we're married now.

Look out zombies.

So here's a question: How do we educate Twitter users that inevitably say "Well I logged onto the Fediverse and didn't find anything interesting!" because there's no evil algorithm mindlessly pushing them towards whichever content it deems more profitable?

Me just saying "Yes you have to actually go LOOK for interesting content. Follow people with things that interest you in their profiles. Start conversations. It's WORTH it!" hasn't worked very well thus far.

It's in the repository. I'm looking at it right now. You saw it 20 minutes ago. Now you've never heard of it and can't build anything.

Ye gods, Maven is depressing.

Spent so far at least a week on Java thing mostly getting errors further along in the dev / deploy flow. It's *close* to successful deployment. I'm sure of it.

Meanwhile some datasette for casual exploration of the app's data — in one minute.

Anyways time to eat.

I'm learning so much with this Java project! Not so much about Java, but goodness sure have picked up a lot of XML knowledge I haven't needed for 15 years.

cleaning up pom.xml log, day 17

Was just wondering if there's anything worse than this, and I imagined basically this but for a large Node project from today and it's 2030.

@randomgeek I feel like Java™ should be the last line in a Burma Shave ad here.

Proud of myself. I had a great idea, started trying it, and stopped myself within five minutes of it looking more like a terrible idea.

Get an error.

Change a number in a config setting.

Get a different error.

Is it better? Is it worse? Is it maybe the same?

I don't know.

It's amazing to me how many things in NodeJS were just defined by convention (e.g. the "browser" member in package.json or "dist" folders) and now it's all starting to get kind of formalized.

The downside is that we're trending toward gigantic config files that are so complicated you probably need a tool like github.com/pikapkg/pack to just build it for you. I.e. my greatest fear is NodeJS is just becoming Java 😂
