I think Java was first released just after I graduated. I do program Java at my day job though, and I don’t mind it. It has its quirks but I find I can express myself using Java, but I probably try to think towards much in OO paradigms when I design and code.

How many dollar stores are required for it to be classified as a town?

A Canadian friend of mine has to attend a conference in the US soon. I’ll have to ask him afterwards how it went crossing the border.

Isn’t that the point? The service department makes more money.

Surely Grok would make a better president and be more human and intelligent?

I came from years of jQuery and the mind shift to VueJS was just too much for me. Our team decided to use it almost on a whim. A major version of VueJS was released before we’d released our product, which meant we had to go back and rework things. So all in all it didn’t sit well with me.

I’ve been using Microsoft products since the early days of DOS, and the only product that truly impressed me was NT; it was a breath of fresh air as a developer, with its new kernel and much improved stability. Finally, we could develop for windows and not have the OS crash!

Everything else has driven me nuts, and their quality had definitely gone drastically down hill. Their software now is a bloated mess of ugly, especially windows. How did we get to an OS that installs so many gigs of files? Holy crap!

I try to always use Firefox and never use Edge.

Fair point but my games only run on windows.
