My approach to choosing technology is straightforward but somehow controversial:
Look at the end result
Typically, there are multiple options available for implementing a thing:
- A: difficult, slow to develop, but the end result is better
- B: fast, easy, the end result has some compromises made
When presented with such choice, imagine both futures where you deliver your product to a user. A user doesn't care if it was difficult for you, if you had to learn new things, fight with a compiler or package manager or whatever.
How would you explain that they'll have to endure the slowness of your product because you were not educated enough to make it better?
For me, that would be extremely embarrassing, so I choose option A whenever I can. This pushes me to learn new things despite them being hard or overwhelming or poorly documented. This makes me a better developer, and my users are happier even if they don't know it 😊

Las sirenas probablemente deberían ser consideradas mamíferos marinos. Aparte de la mitad humana que puede respirar fuera del agua, mueven la cola como los delfines. Son mamíferos con escamas. #showerthoughs #mermaid #sirenas

Es una tontería, pero estaba pensando como tanto #Shrek como el rey Carlos de Inglaterra son conocidos por sus orejas y son los terceros en su nombre. :thaenkin: #showerthoughs

Jestliže si lidé uvědomují vlastní existenci, tak to za předpokladu že jsou součástí vesmíru znamená, že samotný vesmír si uvědomil existenci sám sebe. #showerthoughs

DRM is a financial pyramid. It might not seem like it, but if you look close enough, the similarities are apparent.
Imagine you bought a game with Denuvo. One time purchase, 60€ and it's in your library. However, in order for you to play it, the publisher has to pay monthly fees either to Denuvo or to run their own servers. The only way they can do it is by attracting new customers. If they run out of fuel you will lose everything you invested, just like a financial pyramid's donor.

Rewatching Supernatural, usual trope, young couple get lost on a country road, get eaten by demon/ monster/ locals. Thinking satnav solved that, must be a lot of hungry monsters waiting at the end of roads. #horror #showerthoughs

Ok, so I've been thinking... Since email is such an important aspect of our digital lives, why do we (people in general) keep using "free" providers like Gmail? What if Google locks you out of your account? What if your provider decides to harvest your data? Come on, we can do better than this. We can choose more ethical providers or, if possible, self host our email. #email #showerthoughs

I just realised we need #cookingthoughts as well as #showerthoughs. Clearly, this occurred to me while cooking...

At some point, I'm going to have to figure out where the interaction points are between :rstats: and Home Assistant. My hunch says there must be a few ways for that to be productive.... I can definitely see HA talking to a PlumbR API, but maybe there's more....
