I share this pain :(

IIRC, ripgrep used a faster algorithm than grep, but more recent versions of grep are now shipping with a faster (the same?) algorithm. So the above suggestion shouldn’t help much unless you use a very old grep.

It is

Then they’re not engineers, no shame in that…

Every fucking language besides C++ has a proper package manager people use constantly. And conan exists for c++ if you want to push the definition of “proper”

Replace JS with ocaml Haskell anything dotnet java go rust python ruby etc. if you prefer.

I know but I choose to ignore the rebranding, for exactly the same reason

I started learning Coq recently. Where does that place me?

I don’t think I’ve seen left wing cancel culture in my lifetime. I doubt it has ever happened in the USA at all, actually

AI hype maybe?

Assuming you run Synapse, that uses more than 1.5GB RAM just idling, your system has at the very least 16GB of RAM… Hardly what I’d call “very tiny”

That’s still following a convention

And then those who want both use arch. I know we love our memes, but this one is really out of date.

NVIDIA hardware is developed to run on Linux

How can you otherwise keep track of an object’s lifetime if copies are made concurrently?

Lol if you think gamers, especially on fedora, are anything more than a rounding error in the total user pool

CLion is IMO by far the best option out there, short of going the editor-as-ide road (vim emacs etc).

QtCreator is good, but only better feature wise for qt/qmake projects.

VSCode is difficult to setup, the billions of plug-ins all lack something. I remember struggling to get remote debugging to work properly, I think because I couldn’t override the default gdb flags to use local symbols (downloading 10gb of debug symbols every run, thanks but no thanks). Amongst other things I can’t recall. It’s probably a decent IDE for JS or hobby projects but I cannot recommend this for a professional environment.

I’m not gonna bother discussing VS.

What else is still around and actively developed? Codeblocks? Netbeans?

This kind of article really gives a “never meet your heroes vibe”.

At least for the brain-dead C++ push. The language is unfortunately not going away with all the millions of crappy legacy code out there, but please let the kids move on with the times.

90% of C++ knowledge is language specific UB crap that has nothing to do with software development anyway. Pushing the language in 2025 makes you look like a Luddite. Any combination C/Rust + Python/C# + OCaml/Haskell ought to teach you a bit of everything, without having to learn the difference between auto and decltype(auto), a billion initialisation options, a billion value-types, and whatever crap is going to generate 100 lines of undecipherable template errors

Probably some automatic serialization that included the field. Someone forgot a #[serde(skip)]!

Not sure how you manage to draw conclusions by comparing two different fields.

Job’s remote/hybrid though. I’ve never lived in Berlin but where I work now juniors get 55k€, and probably don’t have as much fun here as they would in a young Rust-using startup. IDK if I were a fresh grad I’d try my luck there
