       “Being ok with sucking at something while learning” is an extremely undervalued skill. As is “being happy for people that are better than you”.Super important for- learning how to code- learning a new language- art, music, podcasting, cooking- really everything. Don’t forget to teach your kids these skills. Also, demonstrate these behaviors.Let your kids see you being bad at something and not giving up and staying positive.

       gotta say, one of the huge benefits of VSCode is the ability to say `code .` in any directory and start coding.

       @bytter I’ll try it out. But I’m a die hard vim user.

       When I see the word schadenfreude, I’m reminded of farfegnugen, which reminds me of a cousin with a Squareback and his cartoon illustrated maintenance book. Then a small desire to own an old VW. I wait a couple minutes. Then the feeling goes away.

       Slack alternatives.So far I’ve heard Discord and Discourse as good choices. Anyone tried using GitHub discussions?

       I cook. A lot. One of my “secrets” I learned from my wife is to use a good Pecorino Romano whenever Parmesan is called for. I just like it better. It’s milder. Cheaper. And still excellent. Don’t use cheap Romano though. It’s rubbery. I buy blocks and first shred, then, process with chopping blade. Then refrigerate for a month or so while using.

       @changelog Strongly, vehemently disagree. The portion is growing, but “most”? I don’t think so. If that were true, problem 1, developer sustainability, wouldn’t be an issue.Written by people who have day jobs is not the same as written by companies. I think a lot of OSS is written by people at companies. But we’re still trying to get our companies to allow some paid time to work on those projects.
