Am I the only person who started shouting "Developers! Developers! Developers!" at the screen while watching this?


Yes.

Here's an article about it from last year: http://www.theawl.com/2013/03/spy-twitter-is-weird-twitte

I automatically see it replaced with "my butt".


I have friends that don't even type URLs anymore, they just type 'youtube' into google every time and click the first result.


Yes. I have seen this a lot with friends and co-workers. They always google the site instead of typing in the URL or even creating a bookmark. Even for sites they go to 20 times a day.

Interesting consequence, one person, who had just created a new web page using a GUI website building tool a moment before, tried to get to the site by googling it and was surprised that it did not show up in the search results. I explained that the site was just created and Google hadn't indexed it yet. The person just gave me a blank stare.


Now that some browsers have merged the URL bar with the web search bar, you will end up doing this whether you want to or not. And even if it's obviously a URL rather than a search term, Chrome (by default) sends every URL you type to google.com for autocomplete. (For the ten minutes between when I found this feature and I found out how to disable it, I was really angry at Google.)


That is crazy. I thought that was behaviour reserved for people my dad's age. My dad does that all the time. I tried to teach him what a URL is, I don't think he got it.


This is _exactly_ what version control is for.


Listing files in order of modification time?


Not literally. I should clarify.

Using ls -ltr will indeed list files in order of modification time, but when I read 'Managing Work-In-Progress Folders' I think version control.

ls will list your files, but it won't really 'manage' anything.


"...could’ve gotten a job at any tech company in the USA. I was offered ridiculous salaries with signing bonuses of luxury cars. Pretty tempting."

Thank you!

I've used this library for loading horrible, third-party javascript:

I did this a few months ago:

    imap kj <esc>
I have never had to type a word with the letter combination 'kj' in it. Works great.


That's going to suck when you get lockjaw playing blackjack in Reykjavik. But other than that, you seem pretty safe.


There goes my plan for my Icelandic-themed casino site.


Until you use kj as a variable for KillJoy


Preventing me from doing that might actually be considered a feature. ;)
