I have been joking for a while that I am searching for my next language to add to my resume, and I am strongly leaning towards #Go and #Rust. I have used Go in a few projects, but honestly, I haven't even touched a line of Rust.

That being said, alongside this, I think I am finally going to add #Lua to my arsenal as well. I've been using #Neovim and would love to easily be able to write my own extensions, and I also see that #Redis has support for it.

Earlier today, I wanted to delete all keys in my Redis database with some <key>:<id>. I was a bit lazy and messed around. So I asked #ChatGPT just for a quick #CLI command. Which it basically said wasn't possible.

So I had 1 of 2 options. Write 5 lines of Python just randomly in my existing main file. OR! I see that #RedisInsight supports Lua!

Why do something in 5 minutes in 5 lines if I can automate it in a day by learning an entire new language?🙆‍♂️

There is NOTHING more valuable than having a dev team mate who is patient with you(r stupidity).

I am so grateful to have more than 1 of them. :)

Hiya worlds! Time to try out this place also. Finding all the peeps I like and happy to see recommendations of cool tech folks around.
And pondering whether to vent about yet another incident with annoying people pretending to be worthy of their title while not actually being good at their job. Maybe as a cautionary tale instead of bashing someone, while admitting my slightly unprofessional behavior after. Will see.

Well shit…spent the whole day refactoring some legacy code (class components to functional, more declarative code, etc…). Even worked late because I was a on hot streak. As I was about to log off I realized that I was working on the wrong fucking component.
