Not quite as simple as learning it once. SQL evolves like other languages, across vendor implementations.
The ClickHouse and DuckDB dialects for example extend the language with analytic options not found in ANSI SQL, nor T-SQL, Pl/PgSQL, etc. DuckDB QoL enhancements are greatly missed when not available.
Which SQL-specific QoL enhancements do you miss? I was really excited to use DuckDB for things like structs and enums, but after a while I just went back to regular SQL and used it for its other features.
My org has a monthly team plan, and because I don't use what I would call unsupervised agents, I rarely come close to exceeding limits. I guess I am one of those "chat only users" that so many articles limit my output. A split terminal with Vim on the left snd Claude on the right has been a great combination. Neanderthalic AI.
Personally I'd consider efficient and economical use of AI to be a key skill for a good developer. Using AI for everything at full throttle would appear to be a crutch. I wonder if this will eventually become a hiring criteria for companies without unlimited budgets (most of them).
says it all. It's a really bad joke or an excellent trolling.
The entire world have used:
%Y for the year.
%m for the month.
%d for the day.
%H for the hour.
%M for the minute.
%S for the second.
for over 50 years, but Golang forces me to remember "06" for a year, "15" for an hour and "05" for second. and "MST", the Mountain View time, that particular time zone moniker, in a center of the universe, as a placeholder for a real time zone. Yes, the Mountain View, not UTC ("Z"ulu time) like a sane person would do (although nobody sane would implement that format).
Obviously business IP for non-China based companies should be treated carefully, but for personal projects where would the cost savings not be worth a risk?
The mistake is university choosing commencement speakers that are completely out of touch with what students about to enter the workforce need. Unless of course the university itself is choosing speakers based on their contribution to the university bottom line.
Big tech executives, no matter what their previous accomplishments were, eventually become sales people. Their job, as they see it, is to push a narrative that benefits the businesses or industries their wealth is tied too.
Students don't want to hear what billionaires want. They want to hear what will enable them to survive in a newly chaotic job market that seems ever more weighted against job seekers.

This is what brought me to Python (1.5)
Working on Windows servers, using the ActiveState Perl Development Kit satisfied the need for a better scripting environment than batch files, but I was a poor Perl programmer, it just never stuck.
Python solved the problem of "What the heck was I trying to do?" when looking at my own 6 month old code. It is still my primary language today.
Linux and Windows do not have a goal of perfectly emulating the other one, to the degree of sharing the same spec and tests. Not sure how this example applies, especially since Blink is open source, while Windows is not.
In fact your example betrays you, because it would be like rewriting Linux from scratch while still attempting to maintain perfect compatibly with Linux. And then arguing that you've somehow weakened Linux in the process. Why not just fork it and maintain your own fork?
Also because Pip ain't perfect, but it is stable in a sense.
