Can you instead give the person pointers about how to do it themselves? Or document your workflow as you go and point others to the documentation?
I try to do this as much as possible. Help others to help themselves. Once I've done something once, I don't want to do it again. I have new things to focus on which I haven't done before. -
As in you do it and hate it, or you dislike considering HTML and CSS as "not proper development"?
If you do it and hate it, there's lots of other things you can branch into. Learn!
If you dislike other web coders, I wouldn't spend my energy deriding others. Writing a good website is difficult. Some people consider my chosen areas of focus useless as well, good on them, I like it. -
To be honest, the phrase "propping up these assholes for a decade" doesn't reflect well on you.
You're one person. All people are replaceable. The company isn't going to go down if you leave. My friendly dev advice is get your head out your ass.
During your notice period you should conduct yourself as per normal, and document as much as you can for the rest of the team, and for those who will come after you.
You should leave an employer with the attitude that you'll be coming back one day. Do you want to be known as that helpful person who gave their all until the last minute and is welcome back anytime? Or do you want to be that jerk who had a sour demeanor and left a bunch of garbage fires in their wake and wouldn't even be welcome back in the door? -
Have used Linux exclusively for close to 15 years now. When I see Windows these days, the most frustrating thing is the lack of customisation on the desktop. I have a workflow and shortcuts and muscle memory built up around being able to configure Linux desktops the way I want. I theoretically "could" probably do all my personal stuff on Windows with a lot of effort but it would slow me down and annoy me greatly. My job is to work on Linux-specific stuff, like my employer's custom kernel, so there is no point me running anything but Linux professionally.

@Balzy holy shit

Now this is a good rant

I'm on OP3T and never seen it. However I am running LaOS and ForceDoze.

This is why I refuse to buy nVidia cards anymore.

@Cyberhax Do your own homework.

@isaacWeisberg There's nothing wrong with being gay. There's heaps wrong with Windows tho. Don't use windows slurs against our LGBT coworkers :)

If you can't break something down simply enough to explain it to a nontechnical person, you don't really understand it.

If you're filling in OTP automatically, you're doing it wrong.

@zshh You have an unmaintainable product. If he gets hit by a bus (or more likely, a bus arrives and takes him to a new job) then you're screwed. None of you will work there forever, so think about what happens if he leaves and the rest of you are left to work on his code.

Ubuntu Mate. Works, lots of packages, lots of community help, looks good.

@hacker LE is the best thing to happen to SSL since its invention 👍
-
Vim is the best way I've found to read large C projects. Small ones benefit from the workflow too. I couldn't do my job anywhere near as well without vim.
-
Self hosting is pointless these days. There are so many cloud services which do it for you at little/no cost. Who wants to manually manage webserver daemons and SSL certs? Nobody.

This has started happening to me lately too. I'm fine with it, I'd rather ads for Netflix and other things I already like, rather than useless irritating spam garbage which I have no interest in.

Every Python Tutorial:
1) Print a string
2) Add two numbers
3) Instantiate an object with dual inheritance and overwrite all the methods with lambda functions which return dictionaries
It's that easy! -
@AlgoRythm actual lol

> Can you do it in a day?
No. -
Yeah, what a decision. Cheap new Chinese hardware with proven root backdoors in the vendor image, versus established British-developed hardware backed by a major chip manufacturer and nonprofit foundation who contribute back to related open source projects. How ever will you choose.

Keep an open mind, try all available options, use whatever works best with your workflow. Don't get into a pissing contest with purists, you're the one who is doing your work, not them.
I think you are best to start with vanilla vim so you can see what vim-modes are aiming for and be familiar with the basic functionality before you start playing with plugins.
Try to be able to do all this before you significantly change your vim environment: http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/...
vimcasts.org is great for learning fundamentals.
Don't learn too much at once. Learn one thing a week and integrate that fully into your workflow before moving on to the next learning.
Be ready to accept a fall in productivity while you learn, probably for some months. Hopefully you'll see an overall raise in productivity at the end. -
Welcome to the club :)

Get rid of him. Let him go write his unmaintainable code and fail to empathise and socialise with the rest of the team somewhere else.

vim-fugitive is a great git plugin
vim-cscope with GNU Global tags database if you do C
www.vimcasts.org is the best to generally learn Vim
