@emmy understand git and how contribution workflows built around git and related technologies (e.g. github) operate

employ that workflow in some kind of project so that you have something to talk about in an interview

demonstrate an understanding of how your actions today can make things easier or harder for others, including yourself, in the future, and provide strategies you employ to make the correct decision

@aescling there's a stone mural warning people "when the absol appears, it is warning glalie froze over the spring and there will be a massive steam eruption soon" but the semiotics were lost and so people thought it was saying "absol brings disaster" instead

we were talking about the Flabébé episode and how it was really about the importance of pollinators

i think it goes really understated how even the very simple things in Pokémon like “Peck is super-effective against Bug-types” still does more exploration into the natural world and ecosystems and interactions between different kinds of life than like 99% of videogames, and maybe even fictional media

“the ecology of pokémon is varied” — Gary Oak

@packetcat a lot of things in Swift are like this; because it has access to Foundation a lot of things which have existing implementations there don't make their way into the core language until they are sure they can “get it right”, even if it means making things more cumbersome for developers in the meantime

@packetcat they had regexes in Foundation, but not in Swift itself and Foundation’s implementation was really built around Objective-C’s idea of a string, so it was awkward

it was basically blocked for a long time because they wanted full typechecked Regex Builders like OneOrMore(.digit) and not just strings like /\d+/, and that only stabilized in the language recently

nice to see the emphasis on RTL languages this WWDC

holy shit they finally added regex to swift?!

you can attribute anything to Zeus so long as he gets a kick out of it

@aescling problem with having a scene that only young people can really excel in

when people you think of as older are not actually that much older than you
