minor nit: Red October had caterpillar drive
Jokes aside, I do not know if this is me getting older and becoming more grouchy and/or some of the tools (Gmail, Google Search, macOS/MacBook <whichever>) we've been using for a while are becoming more obtuse and less user (or power user) friendly in name of <some product goal>
Good to see you here again, completely off topic follow up: did you or your siblings ever end up writing about work your father did with three letter agencies?
I fully agree that toolchain you mentioned gives blazing fast initial devX, hot reload and everything. If that’s what you are optimizing for, it is a perfect solution.
OTOH when you want to optimize for long term maintenance, growing codebase that is safe and easy to grow, easy to refactor, easy to check for odd things. I’d lean heavily on something compiled and with promise/guarantee of safety every time.
In other words, it is all about trade offs and to each his own.
[edit: yep it is :) - a virtual hug to you friend ]
His death really affected me in a deep way I didn’t expect. I miss him so much.
Also - shouldn’t your username be miss_chanandler_bong :)
