fuck

I'm doing this side job for a Canadian dude and he wants me to open a Wise bank account, I've never even heard of it and, obviously, no non-life-changing-dough justifies such a thing. For some wtv the fuck reason - I don't get it, honestly - the motherfucker doesn't wanna do PayPal

So... enlighten me, PLEASE, what are people rolling with these days besides PayPal?

Also, I'm pretty sure this motherfucker is putting bumps on the road expecting me to wave on it

TODAY! Today in a fit of rage over my neighbor's construction I've super glued their door. I mean, they're basically making me wake up at 1am to work cuz I've a dislocated nerve on my ear and the noises literally turn to pain. So yeah, by 3am I thought, wtv, right? An eye for an eye and shit, so I glued that door shut.

Eagerly awaiting to hear that motherfucker's doorframe cracking. 8am can't come soon enough

It's not enough to be clean, perfomant and maintainable, it needs to be beautiful. if it looks bad it's probably bad.

was looking up some code, won't say which, trying to find something, won't say what, and, heck, I need to find out who wrote and maintains this awesome piece of art. After a couple hours of stalking done, yep, that's how good it was, I finally found the author and guess what? They died two years ago, 24 years old. Dead. Gone. A little more stalking and the punchline was: suicide.

FUCK, I don't even know them but it makes me real sad. It seems this' an actual issue in our line of work

I truly have no communication skills whatsoever...

An utility function longer than 100 lines shouldn't even be a single function. Shit, it shouldn't even BE inside the "utils" file

macro_rules!

democrats make it hard for businesses in the US but at least they acknowledge how rabid their country's capitalism is. I mean, damn, some more trump and it might fast track that cyberpunk dystopia we all know is at the curb

those people know so much more than me that I'm always somewhere between excited and territorially threatened

GSUS XRIST! from 3.7M to 96K o.O that's Ocaml's compiler for you 🤤

my neighbor decided to breakdown all walls in their apartment. Like, seriously, all of them, so I've gotta hear hardcore construction sounds from 8am till 5pm, everyday...
So now I'm waking up at 4pm and going to bed 7am. That way, since I can sleep thru a zombie apocalypse itself, I avoid that torture.

I'm not someone who holds grudges, but I am leaving a speaker blasting whitenoise during my sleep time. That way, I can make sure the motherfuckers go thru at least some of the discomforts I'm went before I managed to go nocturnal

Selectively searching for an ocaml or scheme job cuz I'm in my 30s and life's too short to waste on all the other nerve wrecking shit. I'd do Haskell but hell might as well freeze before I find something

fuck, I'm unemployed...

I got a feeling I'm about to be laid off

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
