Aspiring software engineer trying out unconventional things.

So, emacs or vi? Please help me decide
Jani Mustonen
Vi is decent. Vim is amazing. Emacs is amazing. So, obviously vim.

Spent a couple of hours setting up a nice efficient schedule. Probably only to break it. Oh well.

Interesting... so hypothetically if someone wanted a new job, what repo would they commit to? Asking for a friend...
Jani Mustonen
Look up what libraries your favourite organisations use. However, I have no idea how commonplace this is or how likely it is to land you an email.

what do you mean by wanting to chat a bit?
Jani Mustonen
Exactly this. Reply to a reply of a reply.

I don't have a public resume anywhere, apart from my LinkedIn page. But as the email was sent directly to me and not through LinkedIn (like most recruiter-spam) they must have picked up on me somewhere else. I will ask them how they got to me, as I am honestly interested in how that process works.
Jani Mustonen
I do know of some organizations that follow repositories for interesting commits, so it's possible you actually did commit to the right repo. :)

Today I'm writing documentation on Linux for my coworkers as we're finally moving off Windows Server. Our platform has no more Windows specific components due to some recent work so it's onwards with switching. Need to setup some training sessions later this week for getting people used to Debian (command line). Any tips? Has anyone taught Linux before?
Jani Mustonen
If only, if only. Been administrating a mess of Windows and Linux systems for a while. We have a lot of software that don't - and won't - have Linux versions.

interesting you can only reply once to a post. not sure if that's an awesome idea or horrible idea
Jani Mustonen
I find myself wanting to chat a bit, but nesting answers infinitely doesn't seem like a nice thing to do.

Honestly, Sublevel is one of my favorite places to hang out because it's so brutally simple. A lot of core users here have Pinboard and Hacker News accounts too; other sites that dare to be minimal. I always thought alternate ways to experience Sublevel could come through a native client + API, but I think @lucian hasn't gotten round to it yet.
Jani Mustonen
Oh, I didn't mean bulky 100k LoC javascript that Twitter has. Just simple things, like updating the feed without refreshing. I adore minimalism, as it keeps the design focused.

I really like the 'conversation first' feel to it. It's not about some douchebag broadcasting 'influcence' to his followers but more about what people across the site are talking about
Jani Mustonen
Definitely. It works well with a relatively small community, but I have no idea how it'd hold up if sublevel gets popular.

Hmm. I always advocate for decentralized software, but this seems to hit a nice niche. Definitely a bit janky to click through messages, only seeing a single level of answers. 2-3 would be much nicer. A touch of javascript could smoothen out the experience (say, peeking at replies without opening a new page), but it's a nice start.
