Will the Debate This Week Be ‘Rah-Rah’ or ‘Ruh-Roh?’
  • There are two candidates. No, the others are not viable. Yes I know that's unfair. Yes voting for them is basically not voting and potentially helps another candidate you "hate more" to win instead.

  • What is your favourite shell to use
  • This is a good approach. I've always found it beneficial to learn "the standard things" than relying on a customized setup.

    I've seen some people absolutely lost when they login to a system without 500 custom aliases on it..

  • You'll regret using natural keys
  • I love UUID keys. Only drawback is they can be a bit difficult to share, but they solve so many other problems. Being able to generate them client-side makes batch inserting with dependencies easier, being globally unique means you can copy data between environments, never needing to "fix" a sequence again... So many up-sides.

  • Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things
  • What if I read the transcript in book form?

    You're attacking the medium rather than the content. You can learn things from video just as you can a lecture.

    Books aren't special. And they can be very wrong too.

  • Is the Java ecossystem of languages and related stuff a thing, professionally?
  • I've found good work with both. Java has been "dying" for decades according to people who have an irrational dislike for the language. I'm yet to see any evidence for it. The ecosystem of libraries there is huge and well maintained.

    Frankly I'd learn both as well as Python and maybe rust and go. Once you become proficient in any language it's easier to learn others. So start with Java if that calls to you but branch out as well.
