The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

It’s a burrito

Not sure students are necessarily benefiting? The point of education isn’t to hand in completed assignments. Although my wife swears that the Duolingo AI is genuinely helping her with learning French so I guess maybe, depending on how it’s being used

I remember hearing about somewhere - alphabet or meta or something like that - that basically provided adult crèche facilities for the employees. Way beyond just food - On-site nap rooms. Washing machines. Showers. The works. All to enable just a super unhealthy attitude towards work. Thinking about how much that must’ve affected anyone going there straight after uni when they should have been leaning how to look after themselves makes me shudder with cringe

All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)

Rust is brilliant for cli tools, which have the benefit you can usually make something useful to scratch an itch without it exploding in scope. Might be a better place to start than yaca…

But he was the one I was looking for

Yeah that’s clearly Prince

Alas, doesn’t fit my purpose since it requires action by the script user. I usually just use perl in those situations

I never saw such a potent combination of gender politics and prolog

I can never get grep to work consistently on Mac and Linux. Now, ripgrep OTOH…

Damn it. Gonna have to be bacon, curse my carbon footprint

Even the camel/snake case renaming can be handled with the right regex, but dynamic identifiers are a mortal enemy. I remember the first time I came across a rails codebase… shudder

‘Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about’.jpg

Trial and error, oh my God yes. So much error. Such a trial. But also try to pay attention to detail… If something seems to generally work but then doesn’t for this one case, it might be completely broken and just spitting out plausible stuff the rest of the time. But anyway yeah, you’ve got the spirit.

I remember Linus saying in an interview that he’d only really been involved in git for the first 6 months or so and that the other devs had managed it without him since then. This makes sense - Linus’s creations aren’t successful because he’s the only person who understands them, they’re successful because there are so many other collaborators on them.

Least insane slackware user

Big RIP. Used to go on that site quite a lot back when it still had good clients

Hey, there are two rust ones, check yerself. But the Gopher logo is pretty well known around these parts

Nobody’s assuming Groovy these days then 😂
