I know this seems unlikely and sounds outlandish, but I actually managed to jump to another employer in 2020 who wasn’t shitty and paid more. Don’t lose hope, everyone. They may be few and far between, but they exist.

Lemmy: We hate billionaires!

Me: Gabe Newell is a bill…

Lemmy: NOT THAT ONE.

Three dictators controlling about 11000 nuclear warheads.

Not a doomer, but that looks suspiciously like the Great Filter solution to the Fermi paradox.

Well, ideally you start new projects writing 100% Kotlin while only adding Kotlin code to older codebases you can’t get rid of. Personally, I don’t like mixing languages anyway and I would stay with Java in Java projects. One reason is the bloat argument you pointed out quite correctly.

True… but Kotlin makes Lombok quite unnecessary by having its concepts built in. It’s also worth to point out that null safety is opt-in in Java and opt-out in Kotlin.

Yes, there are things about Kotlin I don’t love either. But I still like how it was clearly developed having developer quality-of-life in mind.

Kotlin isn’t perfect and it gives the devs quite a lot of freedom. I would argue that if your Kotlin code is messy, that’s on you - but it will still be significantly less prone to failures like NPEs. Unless you opt out of null safety by using the dreaded ?-Operator.

NPEs are the reason why my team moved to Kotlin. Well, that and all the other myriad advantages Kotlin brings to the table.

This man in Monty Python’s Life of Brian is none other than British comedy legend Spike Milligan, who, together with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, starred in the 1950s radio comedy show “The Goon Show”, which all members of the Pythons cited as their most important influence.

By coincidence Milligan was visiting his old World War II battlefields in Tunisia where the film was being made. The Pythons were alerted to this and he was included in the scene being filmed that morning.

Even then, a BMW would tailgate and flash its headlights at you on a German autobahn.

The sticker should also say something like “But don’t worry, we’re going to be evaporated in a huge explosion anyway, due to the gigantic release of energy when you crash into my car in a few nanoseconds.”

Clever, I like it. I wonder how many people read it and have no clue what it means.

I would prefer a Monty Python style foot. Complete with the raspberry sound effect. More entertainment value.

I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I’ll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would’ve immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.

My wife and I have decided that we don’t want any kids. So if someone wants them, we can drop them off tomorrow.

Well, I think you’ll find that it really does matter if you use dried jalapeños or dried Carolina reapers.

I’m a fucking snob so I spend way too much money on expensive single malts and gyokuro green tea.

Yes, there is one Youtuber who makes super authentic Jamaican stuff called Feed & Teach. Watching his videos is worth it for the Patois alone.

This is the basis for the jerk sauce I was talking about, and this will make your kitchen smell nice.
