@d00td00t yea they're quite similar. I often refer to Afrikaans as Dutch-Lite

@TheBeardedOne poes

@dissolvedgirl go stalk my profile. I've posted a couple of "South African proverbs"
-
@devRancid I hate it much more when it's in my mother tongue than when it's in third languages. Inferring from context is easier than reading hacker créoles, but I can't choose not to interpret Hungarian words.

@TheBeardedOne found some of my old comments in a legacy web app I built:
"fok tog"
"poef"
Good laugh -
@dissolvedgirl what was the stack?
-
@TheBeardedOne Laravel 5 and jQuery

@dissolvedgirl damn no kidding when you said legacy

@TheBeardedOne if a 7 year old stack is already legacy then my current Deplhi sidehustle would like to have a word lol
-
@Lucky-Loek Delphi was legacy before it was even created
