Aspiring software engineer trying out unconventional things.
John Economou So, emacs or vi? Please help me decide
Jani Mustonen Vi is decent. Vim is amazing. Emacs is amazing. So, obviously vim.

Jani Mustonen Spent a couple of hours setting up a nice efficient schedule. Probably only to break it. Oh well.
Kodo At least you made the effort
Dav1d The ol' college try!

Jani Mustonen I had forgotten how fast lightweight sites load up.

Kodo unity is evil, admit it
Jani Mustonen I never argued about that. :)

Mark Dain 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.

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

Martijn 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. :)

Mark Dain 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.

Kodo 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.

Jani Mustonen I should mention that most of criticism got debunked instantly. \o/

Martijn You can see further than a single level, actually. This thread and #24520 are examples of that. I find it an interesting way to dive into different branches of a discussion.
Jani Mustonen I realized that immediately after posting this. Oh well. :)

Mark Dain 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 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.

Kodo 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.

Jani Mustonen 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.
