It's the main reason behind why instead of bookmarking stuff, I instead archive stuff. Search engines aren't as convenient as they used to be, especially for non-trending topics. At least that's my experience.
I agree with the author on the server part of. It makes sense to make use of something specifically designed for the task at hand.
At the same time the post brings back memories from university when my fellows had these immature arguments about how PHP is the worst language on the planet and it shouldn't be used for anything but as a bad example. It's such a waste of time.
Some arguments of the author make sense in certain contexts, especially if you're used to do things in a certain way and you get other results in JS which is a different language, in a different context (the context being that JS to the web is much closer to what Lua is to game development than let's say Java to backend development). At the end of the day it's just lack of understanding that raises confusion. Only because something is "weird" it doesn't mean it's also bad.
Not like anybody is checking this, I'm speaking from e experience. I had several coworkers over the years who used to live for much longer in Schengen countries without registration. In Austria this works moderately well so does it in Hungary, but of course it has some drawbacks too.
Usually in countries where people tend to curb laws to their liking as well as "forget" to pay taxes (this is the case for Hungary) more often than not, this visa situation not a big deal
Depends on what you mean by "reserved word". In Common Lisp, you can define your own cons and defun, provided that you're not attempting to mutate the respective symbols from the COMMON-LISP package. That can be achieved by either defining your own cons and defun and shadowing the cons and defun from the COMMON-LISP package (typically for function or macro bindings), or just straight up using cons and defun from the COMMON-LISP package in "legal" ways - for example (let ((cons 1) (defun 2)) (list cons defun)) is legal and evaluates as '(1 2) since using those two symbols as names for lexical variables doesn't break the running Lisp in any way. In the former case (of defining your own functions/macros accessed as "unqualified" cons or defun from your own code) it's up to you if you consider cons and defun to be "reserved words" based on their package or not (packages for reserved words being something that languages explicitly recognizing the concept of a reserved word don't seem to have, so it's not clear how this should qualify). In Scheme, a Lisp-1, it's kind of free-for-all, especially in R5RS where you don't even have to bother with hiding standard bindings.
I put too much effort into work which lead to a severe burnout that rendered me incapable of being useful and productive for years. I'm one of those guys who grew up using computers, every wake minute I was thinking about computer related stuff, everything had a solution using software in my head. I lost this from one moment to the other. Luckily for me it came back after 4 years of the crash. Fun times.
Have a life outside of work even if it's just the same you do at work, but do something unrelated. People need to recharge their brains using activities they truly enjoy
I haven't reached severe burnout but have recognised I am coming up to it, and coming from a background as similar to yours. The doing something unrelated part has to be key to a healthy work/fun/life balance.
