Apparently Instagram can now forcefully update by itself on the background...

hey, sr? gavin, sr, could you at least let me put some lipstick BEFORE YOU FUCK IT

Am I going crazy or is this some real nasty looking spaghetti code?

I'd really like to write more scheme :/

---
shit... I wish my job was writing scheme

The more JavaScript I need to review, the more I realize it's a hack on top of its previous design

..in a loop, human centipede style

I don't get it, it's interpreted, why you creating a new structure for every single fucking transformation instead of transducing them transforms into a single one and running it ONCE?

no wonder this shit's heavy

garbage collectors' lifestyle matters!

Ever eyeballed the abyss of your memory leaks? Shit, garbage collectors deserve a raise.

Unsung heroes, janitorialing thru that VM like a dung beetle, silently fucking up your perf so you can do that delicious spaghetti. Indiana-jonesing the fuck out of that memory trash can and euthanizing all that disgusting heap of pointers hanging, dangling, like... well, like garbage.

At the very least they're deterministic, unlike that Markov chain we all had the displeasure of fucking up. Amen? Amen! 🙌🏻

You gotta wonder, though, what goes through their nuggin. Do they reminisce about the potential of that half-ass-written class? Do they weep for the elegance of a forgotten function bottlenecking their job? Nah, probably just counting down the nanoseconds till their next full GC cycle. Aaah, like cold beer in Saturday barbecue.

So next time your program miraculously avoids a memory error, take a moment, put your hands up in the air and say a prayer to your garbage collector.

Silently covering for your fuckups

Ux for developers is slightly different than it is for the general crowd. Most won't give two fucks about quirks, but developers? Developers will freak the fuck out on you for any

I know I do, I know I am

A couple weeks back I rewrote some of CopilotChat so that it'd think it was an AI kindergarten teacher for baby AIs and asked it why humans went extinct.

Got a Microsoft warning ⚠️ saying a dangerous response had been detected

What's the weirdest thing you've ever heard from a coworker?

"I gotta shit with urgency"

ah, APIs... writing APIs is fine, even typing an API can be great! 😃👍🏻

that's it

No, actually, all of the above is invalid if you've gotta do it in typescript

even if it's a hosted language, making it dependent on its host's version is a very, very bad idea

Anyone here used TinyGo? If so, how did it go? Is it any good?

purity might just be the most important thing when refactoring code you didn't write.

for real, if you purify everything in that code, future refactorings will go way smoother and reasoning even more so.

But it's no easy feat, sometimes you face cockroach code. cockroach code is code written nuke style. The fire and forget code that you shouldn't forget.

cockroach code's easy to spot. you can't know what cockroach code does without reading it's comments. roach code is fat, roach code retro feeds from different spots of macaroni. it does IO and everything else all bundled together.

roach code isn't easy to scratch out its async version. in fact, thats a property of roach code. If you can't make it async without a rewrite, you've got roach code.

LOL this showed up, the bar is a removed sign, the dot is an error sign, but together I got a "!" which makes it even more weird cuz the error is there because of those removed lines.

geez, I'm so silly

The time it takes me to get the wording right I could've finished the code already so yeah, nope, me antisocial dumb dumb no do no code assistants

python isn't a language, it's a programming environment 🤔

The hammer dev. See a problem, they grab a hammer. See a screw? Hammer. Complex social issue? You bet your binary tree it's getting hammered.

fuck taxes, fuck you gov, you've done shit for me, actually, you're always assfucking me every fucking chance you get. So, yeah, I don't pay it in full, oh no, I put my shit where you can't find it, you fucking leech

you want my taxes, yeah? How bout you get off you fucking cockroach ass and gimme something I'd actually want. Legalize weed or abortion, you sick fuck. Reform the police, for fucksakes! Instead, you're always draggin it, pleasing then herd 🦬 well, then, keep taxing them cows and stay the fuck out of my wallet!

just thinking about copilot code hitting production gives me the heebie-jeebies

Why in all fucks would you NOT preconfigure your language client BUT provide a shitload of highly biased default shortcuts just IN CASE some sorry soul took time to preconfigure one.

I'ma be totally honest here, Neovim has lost its way. Every single day I pick it up there's a fuckton of shitty new default bindings...

But that's not the worst of it

You see, they've cramming all sorts of shitty code in there. Like this one default commenting plugin... It does in 600 lines what my setup does in 50. Why? Because, while mine uses the lpeg lib maintainers decided to cram into the editor, the other does a fuckton of hacks so fucked that refactoring is impossible, impossível! Despicable.

Now, their C codebase... Ok, ok arena beats vanilla malloc, alright, kudos to that, BUT refactoring out that old fart of quasillions of legacy C? MADNESS! They should be focused on adding built-in auto completion??? Well-defined syntax highlighting conventions? A FUCKING FUZZY PICKER for fucksakes!! But, oh no, we've got better things to do like FUCKING THE USER IN THEIR ASSSSSSS

DIS-FUCKINGTRESSED here

FUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK

fucking rude, that's what it is. Start chatting in a language not everyone in the room understands. It's also de quickest way to make me deslike you, even if I myself understand the language.

In my eyes it literally downgrade the speakers from humans to monkeys quasi permanently

"Globals? What? I don't do no globals, maaaan"

aham, ok, what's that local dressedup as global there?

"but that's still a local, dude!"

gsus xrist! I'd cry if it wasn't endemic 🤦🏻

some languages completely get lost in minutiae, disposable preciousism that looks pretty but mischievously gobble development cycles. Now, there's no doubt they make for skinnier, trustworthy, low maintenance code, yes, congratulations Haskell. Although, you see, Haskell, not every language out here is defacto an academic one. You hear me, Rust. So, for fuck sakes, Rust dear. You've macros, sis, you don't need a new languages feature every other naughty day. You need prototyping speed, not more complexity. I'm not complaining not really.... It's your fucking language server, your compiler... They can't take this shit no more. Have you seen their overeating problems? Please, Rust, stop picking plastic surgery instead of make-up and use macros instead

and google, dear, your auto completion sucks ass

name a single admittedly indispensable tech originally written in rust

What was Python's mom naggin about?

whenever I see the word TypeScript I actually read JavaScript. Cuz it's really JavaScript in disguise. Its type system is JavaScript worthy, maybe... Probably not

edit:

viscoders raging in 1, 2, 3..

anything weird is beyond vscode
anything weirder is beyond vim
nothing is weird to emacs

oh, emacs, one day... one day I'll ditch vim and let you pick me up

Jesus, not to hold a grudge but holding o.O?

I don't even know where to start...

"getConfig ()", where "config" is literally in the same mothfucking file and the fucking function's not even exported.

Yet, they complain, "why's it so hard to maintain?"...

If you've gotta ask, you shouldn't be here, you little shit

FUUUUUUUUCK, me hearing's ringing from this one
