| rick_h | morning | 15:53 |
| rick_h | for a little bit more at least | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:55 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: how's pcon? | 16:09 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: talks go well? | 16:09 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Yeah, they went really well | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | PCon was quite good this time | 17:45 |
| cmaloney | Didn't do a whole lot of talks, but had a great time | 17:45 |
| rick_h | Awesome | 17:47 |
| jrwren | did you meet scalzi? | 17:49 |
| jrwren | or listen to him? | 17:49 |
| cmaloney | I did not, sadly | 17:59 |
| cmaloney | I really didn't do a whole lot of the talks. | 17:59 |
| cmaloney | One of my friends tried to record part of it | 18:00 |
| cmaloney | so will see how that turned out | 18:00 |
| Zimdale | I swear we hit less panels each year. | 18:49 |
| cmaloney | Same | 18:51 |
| cmaloney | I hit less panels than I was hosting | 18:51 |
| cmaloney | Hit the Javascript one, the books one (which was amazing), and part of the Women in Tech one | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | Oh, and the Smithees | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | so, apparently I'm full of shit. :) | 18:52 |
| Zimdale | How was the js one? | 18:52 |
| cmaloney | It was unstructured, but it turned into some good conversation | 18:53 |
| Zimdale | Damn I like that kind. | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | Naturally started with the "Why the fuck is it 2017 and we're using JavaScript for everything" | 18:53 |
| Zimdale | That's what the tattoo one turned into and I though it ended up really good. | 18:53 |
| cmaloney | Nice | 18:54 |
| Zimdale | And yeah that's a pretty easy question to get some opposing opinions. | 18:54 |
| cmaloney | Oh totes | 18:55 |
| cmaloney | My biggest complaint is "yes, we know it sucks, but we have so much sunk cost into this" | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | so doing anything better is a non-starter | 18:56 |
| cmaloney | Though I'm sure some would argue that UNIX fits that model | 18:57 |
| Zimdale | In too deep. | 18:57 |
| Zimdale | I've seen a lot of "well we have js devs" a lot too. | 18:57 |
| Zimdale | Probably because I'm a js dev | 18:57 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, no worries there | 18:57 |
| cmaloney | I understand the history. I'm just wondering why we keep using the glue when we know the fumes get everyone high | 18:57 |
| Zimdale | Something something cool and hipster. | 18:58 |
| Zimdale | My biggest guess is barrier of entry really. | 18:58 |
| Zimdale | It's easy to learn with few real "rules" of development. | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | Well, I think the biggest thing is in order to do anything cool on a web browser you have to talk JS to it | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | There's no other way | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | other than adding plugins or other shit | 18:59 |
| cmaloney | It's like BASIC on the old micros. You can put whatever you want on it but eventually you'll get kicked back into BASIC | 19:00 |
| cmaloney | or VI | 19:00 |
| Zimdale | Yeah. | 19:04 |
| Zimdale | Build my own web browser. | 19:04 |
| Zimdale | With blackjack and hookers! | 19:05 |
| cmaloney | As one does | 19:05 |
| Zimdale | I'll build it in JavaScript. You'll have to do all your stylings in C | 19:06 |
| cmaloney | hah | 19:06 |
