If Dostoevsky lived today that would be his best novel:



This a story of #russian #opensource maintainer with the complex of messiah and hatred towards the world That illustrates that πš–ΜΆπš’ΜΆπšœΜΆπšŽΜΆπš›ΜΆπšŠΜΆπš‹ΜΆπš•ΜΆπšŽΜΆ mysterious Russian soul:github.com/zloirock/core-…
2/9 As an #opensource developer I feel his pain, but as a person, I can't understand the logic of that person.

All his life problems are direct consequences of his actions but instead of taking responsibility for them, he blames the world and greedy corporations.
3/9 His first mistake: he decided to return to Russia. Living there was his own choice. But Russia strikes back. What a surprise!

4/9 In his post (which replaced Readme of core-js) he begs for money while writing about how poor he is he wants a "new iPhone for his wife", so he talks about being entitled to luxury
Also, he mentioned he has 2.5$K on donations and 10K$ on previous contracts Image
5/9 Remember the Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. That's the same character. While thinking of his own greatness he suffers from a lack of money. Denis could drop core-js altogether or maintain it part time but then he will lose his mission and his vibe as a world Savior
6/9 I would not have written that thread if he had not mentioned the war in his post.

(btw, why?)

He said that #opensource is out of politics while making a political statement in the next line. It's double thinking which was also shown in The Idiot novel Image
7/9 Sure, a person like him would think that he is the most victim in the world, so he has no empathy to war victims The difference here: war victims didn't chose their destiny but Denis did.

War victims were killed, lost their homes, or lose their beloved ones but Denis didn't
8/9 Today over 300 000 such characters are at the war in Ukraine

πŸ‘ΏThey are 'out of politics' but have their political opinion of two evils
πŸ‘ΏThey blame the West for their miserable lives
πŸ‘ΏThey don't take responsibility for their actions
9/9 Maybe they are not evil by themselves. Maybe not the worst people. Who knows? They had their families but once they decided to go to kill others

Mix of messianism, victimization, infantilism turned them into barbarian horde terrorizing my country

Russian society is rotten
But that's not the end!

The sequel of the ovel is here:

My experience of #GraphQL #API consumer

Previously I built integrations via #REST client but the current service provided only GraphQL so I had to learn that.

I felt that the usage of GraphQL was a great excuse for not writing API documentation at all.
2/6 Instead of well-organized documentation pages with request/response examples, which could be built with @Redocly or various open-source libraries, GraphQL provider throws you into their Schema

It's like a 'good dad' throws you into the sea to teach you how to swim Image
3/6 When I learned how to breathe and got the surface, I found myself looking into all possible queries & mutations looking for the right one. But I liked that API scheme and playground were built into via Apollo Studio so I could try queries without switching context

A novel by Dostoevsky. Part II

As you know, a significant part of Dostoevsky's stories is murder and a court. In a novel written by 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲-π—·π˜€ maintainer Denis Pushkarev this section is also presented. Let's look into it:

2/17 The good news is that we have a court decision! Oh, post-modernism, we can read the same story from a different perspective. Dostoevsky would like that!

We have a court ruling on Denis' case with some details I would like to share

web.archive.org/web/2020032516…
3/17 But before we start I'm adding a disclaimer. It's not a personal attack on Denis. I just want to show the twisted mindset Russians have due to the social and cultural environment they live in.

And that's what this story is about:

Another #AI take:

Evolution of AI will teach us how to be humans again.

If writings, voices, images, and code will be generated by AI it would be hard to find a preson behind them
To detect that you talk to a real person you will prefer a video call instead of a chat or audio, as both can be simulated.

At some point even video will be mocked. However, it's much harder to do that as you can ask a person to change the focus and it can break the illusion
If your close friend calls you, you won't trust his voice (as it can be simulated). So you will rely on facts that you know together to test them.

Same in chats

One of major changes in recent @CodeceptJS was removal of allure reporter

I didn't do it for political reasons

It just happened, that Allure reporter v1 was not maintained and Allure v2 has not been released. It took 4 years for team to not release it at all
@CodeceptJS I remember I spent a lot of time integrating Allure in CodeceptJS. I liked the flexibility of API as I could put nested steps into it. However, implementation became very complex (it is always complex for nested steps)

I thought Allure would be a standard of reporters.

However
For unobvious reasons Allure team stopped development of their JS version and started v2.

Also Allure still required Java to run. Phewww...

It was complicated and was too heavy for a simple HTML report

I will take this out and write a thread on why I don't enjoy writing #PHP anymore.

PHP development nowadays is bumping versions, updating types, and tests. And getting out of cross-dependencies conflicts.

πŸ‘‡
Let's take this situation, I have my own library MyLib that is expected to support PHP 7.4 and 8+ in the same time.

Meanwhile the coollib package I depend on releases its v2 where it changes interface of the same function to incompatible one: Image
Client #2 already migrated PHP 8.1 and wants to install coollib 2.0 while

Client #1 is using PHP 7.4 and can't move to coollib 2.0

As MyLib author I can either drop Client #1 and make a major release not because I introduced some breaking changes but because I bumped dep Image

As of recent tweets of @elonmusk

I think it's ok that if you build your decisions by the idea of "not being the like others" the same pattern repeats when it comes to other decisions.

If we think of world as a big, corporation, Elon, what corporate culture do you encourage?
@elonmusk If someone stals your assets - it's fine

If someone kills your employees - let's negotiate

If someone captures your factories - let's make workers to decide in which company they want to work in

If someone threatens you to destroy completely, just give them what they ask
@elonmusk can you show us an example and share your stocks with BMV / General Motors / etc

Looks like this is the best option for Tesla! Why should your workers suffer?
