When too much is too much ...

When you're working on a very complex client/server project in 7 open Solutions and changes in about 100 classes and your project manger gives you a "very important text align issue" that you have to fix immediately 😒

I fucking hate Angular.

Me: oh cool, using OpenGL and GLFW makes it nice and easy to draw a triangle! Might look into using GLEW to start making things a bit more cross platform..

* 48 hours later *

Me: Oh joy, of course everyone uses fucking visual studio, why can't people just offer tutorials or documentation for people using meson or you know... literally anything else that isn't visual studio!

It's fairly easy for me to port C++ to C with my limited knowledge but fuck me am I sick of documentation and articles always targeting a single method...

Personal Note: Never run a touching system

Who needs cmake or meson?

Word of advice: Don't use Meson.

It's fundamentally flawed. The maintainer doesn't understand build system theory whatsoever. How Meson has become so popular is mind boggling to me.

Hey Fellows. I'm about to buy a new keyboard because my current one decided to say goodbye today. But I'm not sure which one i should take. My current favourite is "Das Keyboard 4 Professional".

What Keyboards are you guys using and why ?

Been a hot minute since I posted so let's get back into it!

Holy fuck developing on windows is so verbose and horrible!

I've been spoiled by using Meson on Linux and MacOS, going to visual studio to port my code is one of the most horrible experiences I have had with programming .-.

Why do people like visual studio so much, give me meson and vs code any day!!!

Has anyone used the meson build system for CPP? It's so beautiful. Finally, something to help us not kill ourselves during compilation.

So a while ago I was complaining that tonnes of tutorials ignore CLI or alternative build methods like cmake or meson.

Was having trouble getting glew to link statically... Well only months fucking later do I realise that all I needed to do was add -DGLEW_STATIC to my fucking compiler arguments...

Why is past me such a fucking idiot!

Hey guys! I'm a founder and CTO of a Buffalo, NY based startup. I graduated last year and I have been working on the startup ever since. I came to the US on a B1 Visa, which allows me to set up the business here but not earn a salary. So I have been working from India (my home country) as a contractor. I travel occasionally to USA for meetings etc. It gets really annoying because of the massive time zone difference, I'm not able to work as efficiently. We are pretty early stage so I can't get an H1b and since I don't have an entity in India, not eligible for l1 visa either.

Can anyone tell me if i have any other options in US/Canada as Canada is just an hour away from Buffalo. I looked at startup visa in Canada but I don't have any investors in Canada hence not eligible for it.

What is the meson build system and why did you need to break your cmake files in order to support it -_-
