It's extremely bad if you come from a country like mine, Iran, where we have to use VPNs religiously in order to circumvent censorship and it has become painful to Google anything especially when you're not logged into your Google account.

No it's not better.

Viable Alternative for ZSH as the interactive shell? (programming.dev)
 

So I'm currently using zsh + oh my zsh, and have been using it for some years now. It's good, it has amazing features (via plugins) and overall I'm happy with it. But lately it has become laggy for me (probably because of plugins) and I want to see if there's any other shell with features like ZSH but faster and lighter?

I've tried Fish, and usually install it on my servers, but it's not POSIX compliant so learning what commands actually do what in Fish seems like a hassle.

I've heard of Oilshell, Yash, Nushell but haven't tried any of them.

What is your setup for your interactive shell?

Pronouns in c/microblogmemes
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In Persian we don't have genders for anything. No words, no pronouns, nothing. So having gendered pronouns for me is not gender neutral. I would rather call everyone equally "they" than get into this game of what are you identifying yourself because it makes the language more complex for me.

As a person who learned English as a 2nd language, I would like it if you could transform the language into gender neutral and end this insanity.

I still get classic genders wrong, this whole LGBTQ movement is confusing me even more when I'm trying to type/speak.

What's the consensus of Lemmy on Pulumi? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We're completely self hosted. Even our k8s cluster is provisioned by us on the baremetal servers we have rented from a third party vendor. So we cannot rely on tools that are not transparently free, seeing pulumis SaaS model is a great downside that I was not paying attention to before you pointing it out.

What's the consensus of Lemmy on Pulumi? (programming.dev)
 

So I'm a Platform Engineer who is currently working mostly on Dockerfiles, Ansible Playbooks and Kubernetes YAMLs (FUCK HELM AND YAML TEMPLATING).

Wanted to know if it's worth it to invest in learning Pulumi, and advocating for its use in our company? As far as I've found out we can unify all of our IaC codes by using Pulumi and get rid of multiple tooling/languages that we currently use + writing tests for our IaC code hopefully. which we do not as of now.

What is Lemmy's opinion about Pulumi? Is it a shiny new thing that I'm getting hopelessly hyped about because of our current problems, or is it a legit thing that delivers substantial improvements to our flow?

When / why / how did "I hope you are well" become a standard email intro? in c/[email protected]

Lapce is the most promising tool I've seen in the editor space for some time now.

Looking for interesting ideas to work on for side-projects as an aspiring backend developer (programming.dev)
 

Hi.

I'm a dev with 3 YOE, mostly in ML and MLOps, and more and more I'm trying to pivot into traditional software engineering. As of now I'm trying to really learn the fundamentals of backend engineering (as opposed to the bootstrapping DIY learning attitude that I had during my ML roles towards backend engineering), and I'm learning Node.JS. I'm getting familiar with the the concepts and the syntax, and so far so good. But one thing that I really lack is the imagination of what a good side-project might be.

So I ask experienced devs here, can you recommend me some good project ideas to work on, to make myself a better dev?
