That’s just called malware

You can be a perfectly good dev and not enjoy working in the cli, especially when there are good enough alternatives

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them

TOML is my bestie

Rust used to be correct in 2014 when this was made. It’s pretty fucking good, now

I’m a pretty senior dev and have chat gpt open for quick searches. It’s great for helping me figure out what to Google in the cases where I can’t think of the name of a pattern or type I’m looking for. It also helps quite a bit with learning about obscure functions and keywords in SQL that I can do more research on

Hell, I use Copilot daily. Its auto complete is top-tier

Happens at compile time! It’s relatively quick. You can also run a command to write the query results to file for offline type checking which is mostly useful for CI

I’m currently using SQLx which you write raw queries in and it validates them against a currently-running db, using the description of the tables to build the typing for the return type instead of relying on the user. It makes it pretty hard to write anything that supports injection

RustRover isn’t ready for actual usage, I’ve tried it

Unfortunately RustRover is still garbage for actual usage. And I refuse to use an ORM when I can just write the SQL in a more common syntax that everyone understands across every language instead of whatever inefficient library-of-the-week there is. Raw SQL is fine and can be significantly more performant. Don’t be scared.

Please tell me what IDE you’re using that’s capable of highlighting SQL syntax that’s embedded inside another language source file

Also please fucking stop with the “it’s current year stop x.” The year is not an argument.

That double indented from is hurting me

Unfortunately it was for a personal project and nobody else understands the system so, haha

I was stuck on a problem for six months, and after figuring that out I banged it out in an afternoon. If anything you get stuck for even longer

Half the time I do that I get fucked by their completely non-existent support or return policies

My first “real” job (I used to work at McD’s and Walmart, barely three months each) was 120k a year as a software engineer. I left that job for 200k within six months and here I happily stay

When working in teams, merging in two pull requests with seemingly unrelated changes is common practice. If I had to rebase and re-run tests every time another PR got merged in while mine was awaiting reviews, I’d spend most of my time running tests

It’s ok, just do what my company does and write no tests at all!

He says as though he’s never had two PR merges conflict logically with each other
