Repokémon is an amazing name.

The answer has been "No" a few times and boy does that suck.

I made sure answering, "Has someone figured this out already?" is a formal step in defining project scope at my company.

Donphan is legit, too.

This person couldn't be bothered to search "Phanpy Mastodon" to learn more, literally everything is non-trivial to them. They probably have to remember to breathe.

In my experience, and in the experience of my coworkers/contemporaries, our formal education taught us how to program which is distinct from which language we program in. For instance, my Java dev friend learned to program in C++ because that's what was being instructed. I was forced to learn ActionScript 2 and then was forced to migrate to ActionScript 3, because that's what was being taught. The experience of programming something and iterating on it was far more valuable than knowing a language like C++ or ActionScript.

Languages come and go, some faster than others, and you'll eventually get to a point where your personal preferences stop mattering as much as which language is best for the task at hand.

PHP is dead. Long live PHP.

Hey, is Summit compatible with 0.19.4 or should I hold off upgrading my instance? Do you develop Summit on latest stable, release clients, or latest (like an insane person)?

 

This is a cover of a Minecraft meme and I fucking love it.
