Lol. I keep saying that programming is great if you enjoy the act of using a computer.

Hardened libraries

Like log4j?

Ecosystems matter for sure, but any java "killer library" should be usable by other programming languages.

Of course. Code review doesn't have to be a strict process.

A problem with code reviews is that sometimes it's easier to reason about a problem as you work on it. You will likely end up with better code going through an iterative process working with your computer instead of trying to get the perfect solution the first time.

It's kind of like math. We need to expand a problem out in order to solve it, and then simplify the solution once we have it.

I mean, at some point you have to realize that instructing an AI on every single thing you want to do starts to look a lot like programming.

Programming isn't just writing code. It's being able to reason about a method of doing things. Until AI is at the level of designer, you can expect humans to have to do the brunt of the work to bring software to life.

My life is going to go on much the same no matter who is in office.

The rest of you, though, should be asking yourselves why the greater evil won and consider running a good candidate in the future.

The fact you're trying to justify "losing less" proves my point further about your conditioning. Try to direct some of that energy towards the people who have conditioned you. Maybe then the greater evil won't win next time because you people did something different.

Yeah... now people have to argue if whoever you're talking about really supports genocide, and to what extent.

How many times does the "fall in line crowd" not have to fall in line before you people start doing something differently?

Your refusal to vote helped put us right where Trump wanted. Own that shit.

Lol. How about the people that voted for hillary clinton in the 2016 primary own trump getting the presidency at all?

How about you hold them accountable? Or let me guess, you're diverting all that energy towards me instead.

Thanks for proving my point, again.

The solution is changing our culture. People need to value different things then put those values into action.

The problem is that democrats are greedy and entitled, too. They're not willing to give up their luxuries to help those who have less because they believe that those who have more deserve more, and those who have less deserve less.

It's why Bernie lost the nomination, twice.

The dems dont have a reason to pick a better candidate because they wont be the ones suffering under trump, its everyone else that suffers.

Great point. The useful idiots should be picking better candidates in the primaries. There are other options besides the lesser and greater evils. I've mentioned before though how the useful idiots have been conditioned to believe that a slow loss is still a win; it's not.

I've mentioned before how the problem with the lesser evil is that useful idiots stop fighting.

Since neither side really cares about solving the problems that face us as a species, it's a loss no matter what.
