Then I think I should learn Crystal. ;) I'll gladly program in a language with the same name as myself. Hahah.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your insight!

I'm a self-taught programmer as well. Started with the basics way back when like Atari basic, GWbasic, built into Forth of all things, then C++/C#, PHP, JavaScript, etc., then into frameworks like Node, React, Vite , Laravel, CakePHP and stuff.

I followed the Ruby online tutorial. It seems a lot like Zoho's Deluge, but I heard it isn't as optimized as Rust, so thank you for talking about Rails :) I'm excited to see what I can build!

Also thanks for the warning about outdated Gems.

I'm learning Ruby on Rails. Would you recommend it as a good website framework? Or something else? I've already tried Laravel, CakePHP, Vue/Vite, and making my own from scratch .

It's murder on the dance floor... And you better not steal the groove!

I remember being called an alien before. XP

What a weird thing to say to someone...

I'm glad my company speaks a different language than English, and can't use all the word soup completely. That said, my company is also wondering why my timesheets never add up to the entire day because always in meetings, scrum, or "can we jump on video chat for a sec because it's easier to explain vocally than in writing"... And that "sec" turns into a 30 minute tutorial I have to give.

That is so adorable! I'm sure they know how to understand, and are fully capable of showing you what they want. It's just a matter of IF they want us to know. xD

I'm glad Rowena is happy with Colby's toys!

Turtle day? Then give praise to Tortoise SVN!

Thank you for your service in keeping my early programming safe on someone else's computer!

Supposing you don't poop yourself in either scenario, definitely the short powerful blast. The release of pressure is so good.

The longer one is more funny. Especially if you rev it up like a motorcycle.

Uhm... I hate to bother you, but as a fellow "suspected autistic after testing AND agoraphobic", how does agoraphobia affect your day to day life?

I've known I was agoraphobic since I was 7, crossing large, empty, school fields to go home. The fear of that open space, even if you can see everything because there's no foliage, there's something off about it. I would deal with this by listening to music. I had a walkman that I would listen to religiously to help. I remember banging out some good Savage Garden in the high school fields. Heh..

Even now, I have issues with small bedrooms in my house, boosting anxiety when I can feel the empty space without clutter. Even sitting in larger vehicles can trigger this feeling.

How are you affected, and how do you manage?

Actually snorted at this one. Good stuff
