    Cherry picking verses is not the same as refuting an argument. The books say many things that are not practiced. In reality children are in fact taught to rely on supernatural powers.

    To prove my point:

    Say “Nothing will befall us except what Allah has decreed for us; He is our Protector.” Let the believers, then, put all their trust in Allah. -Quran, 9:51

    “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” -Proverbs 3:5-6








  • Investors, and not just mega corporations, local investors are a major issue.

    We have collectively come to understand the idea that you can get free money by buying houses and renting them out. If you talk to any lay person and ask them how they’d spend a million dollars the most common answer seems to be “buy property”

    Our issue is in our collective minds, but the inertia of the idea means it will probably never be fixed unless there’s a catastrophe







  • Favorite for quick tasks: javascript, the last few years of ecmascript features make it an incredibly productive language.

    Favorite for hobby stuff: rust, but with caveats. I miss default parameters, I dislike the syntax soup, the async system has too many “standards” (see xkcd on competing standards)

    Favorite for work: javascript/typescript. Having my team be fully capable of working on any part of our competencies with just one language is huge. Sharing code between front end and backend, across products, and easily finding developers all make it an easy choice.

    Least favorites:

    Php: magic quotes? Golang: using casing to establish public vs private? Objective-C: the worst combo of every one of it’s predecessors Java: forcing the paradigm of everything is an object causes so much boilerplate Vb5/6/a: triggering a button with = True, using a single equals for both assignment and equality, callbacks are an absolute nightmare
