@jenniferplusplus my favourite is when my 5yo insists he is too tired to put on his shoes, immediately before then running non stop for an hour

Why and also how are 5 year olds? -
Has anyone in the U.S.@sam no i mean, when you go to Canada try walking in to a pharmacy and asking for the shot
you might be able to pretend to be canadian and get it for free

Has anyone in the U.S.@sam because weâre not america we wonât get the latest and greatest shot til end of September.
that said you could probably try to walk in a pharmacy and ask. extra bravado points if you just pretend you forgot your healthcard at home

Not that anyone asked, but it actually doesn't surprise me that Twitter likely getting shut down in Brazil is not dominating fediverse discussions.@jenniferplusplus i disagree but otoh this kind of doomerism does exemplify its unwelcoming culture

Given how many fedi servers are out there, it's interesting to me that I can only find one written in Ruby. You'd think that a long running successful project would just naturally produce resources that other projects can use. But that doesn't seem to ...@hrefna @jenniferplusplus i donât think your analysis is incorrect, but ârails is not the correct choice for basically anythingâ â oof that gets my hackles up.
itâs such a weird bias!

iâll bet you a large sum of money that i can prototype a website faster, and iterate on its functionality faster, than with your âshopâ language of choice.
iâm just deeply irritated by these macho nerd arguments. i too work at Pretty Large Scale & iâve written enough Go to be aware of its limitations

making an app from scratch is a lot more iterative and speculative than we give it credit for. lotta programmers want to pretend theyâre coding to exact, well defined, specs instead of fumbling in the dark

Rails is a great choice for exactly this kind of project: a speculative app whose requirements were not yet fixed, and where the design needed to be flexible to accommodate as of yet undetermined needs.
if you tried to get this off the ground in Java or C++ or Go we wouldnât be having this conversation; thereâd be a cool TODO in a forgotten repo somewhere
