Hi, guys! I create a new penguin. If you want it, you can find it on Github:

It honestly felt so good releasing my first app to the playstore today. Kind of a crazy feeling.

TypeScript should be its own language and not a “wrapper” for JS.

That's just rude, VSCode.

And many, many more

In React, OOP is now the old way of approaching react.js everybody doing functional programming/functional components.. this that the future ???

substr, substring and any variants

Confusing af. Added 5-sec of Dev time every time I use them because I have to look up just to make sure.
Why can't they be the same? If they're the same, why are they different?

I kind of hate people who use the JavaScript array method Array.reduce(...)
It rarely makes sense but makes code unnecessarily complex to read.

Streams in Java. What a joke! That was the answer to LINQ? Come on....

Most hated language features?

PL/SQL:
• it exists

XSLT:
• it also exists

PHP:
• it still exists.

VB:
• Significant parentheses: `subName` calls the subroutine, and `subName()` calls the subroutine and gets a return value. If you use the wrong invocation, it yells at you. Why!?
• For reasons unknown, you can only have `sleep` appear once per codebase. (So put it in a function!)

Ruby:
• It’s bloody easy to write code with absolute shit performance, and it kind of feels encouraged because of just how easy Ruby makes everything. Less critical thinking means worse performance, and Ruby’s blissful elegance encourages mental laziness.
• Minor: You cannot pass a hash as the first method parameter without enclosing it in parentheses, ex:`method({key: value})`. This is due to the ambiguous case between passing a hash argument and a (curly) block/proc (`method {|args| code}`). This could be remedied pretty easily with a little bit of look ahead.
• Minor: There is no `elsif` for `unless` (a negated if). Why? No reason given.

Python:
• no block endings, so nested code can be extremely difficult to follow.

Bash:
• The freaking syntax oh god why.

All languages:
• rand vs rand() vs Rand vs Rand() vs rnd vs RND vs random() vs random vs randInt() vs Math.random() vs Math.randInt() vs ...

Whatever the fuck Python's ternary operator syntax is supposed to be.

A lot of the string operations in Python, because they are named like shit.

First you have startswith. No underscore. Just two words glued together. No case notation, nothing. So ugly and difficult to remember when Python isn't your only language.

And then there's tolower. Wait, no, it's actually just lower. If we're gonna stick with the shitty naming, can we at least keep the two-words, no underscore thing? No, I guess it's easier to save those two characters.

And isupper, the function to get supper from your iPhone.

Yeah, it's small. But aren't most of our gripes about languages tiny anyways.

'"I\ absolutely\ love\ bash\n"'
And somehow it will still be fucked up.

What in the holy hell is a pointer to function and function pointer.I guess they have a purpose, I hate their existence. It's solely because it is complicated

VB CreateObject..
Why?!
Cuz it creates an ActiveX object..
So?!
I am using it to manipulate excel files..
Ooohhh...

Yeah, old code, finally getting around to replacing it, probably with something cross platform too.

But in the meantime, I still have to fix remaining bugs or add small features.. Lately just the latter. I manage to do so, even though it takes a lot more time that I'd like to admit as I'm not coding with VB on daily or even monthly basis...so the goddamn ; are everywhere, fucking with me like I killed the pope..
And the code is horendous.. I'm not even sure if it can be done more elegantly, with lesser lines etc.. but to me it feels like I am powertaping a stick to a robot and hoping it will autoconnect and start functioning as a third arm joined with using electric screwdriver to disassemble a watch..

I honestly hate dealing with promises in JavaScript. Asking permissions just to autoplay a video just like the client requested.

Hated function naming in python, because some functions are like "dothisorthat", some are "do_this_or_that", some are "doThisOrThat", some are, I don't know, what new technique of naming would python devs invent in the near future. Honestly, these naming creeps me out

Every Programmer after shifting from C++ to Python

My phone analyzes the text of the message when I get a dropdown notification. It ((tries)) to recommend a anwser that I can send with 1 click using some chinese "ai". There is no way to turn this off.

Makes some pretty funny screenshots sometimes tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

"Flatpak is the best package manager because it doesn't use your local fs and it does all sorts of lib-sharing and the more you use it the less space things take up and..."

it hosed /usr when installing one (1) program from the official repo

So very glad I keep last-good system partitions backed up to another drive.

It's true

Spring Boot Admin is psychotic. Every time a client application registers to it, it barfs out random shit like: 1ear321fs31sfq.

My experience moving from Linux to a MacBook

CAN FORUMS THAT REQUIRE YOU TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO USE THEIR SEARCH FEATURE FUCK THE HELL OFF ALREADY?!?!

Not really a recruitment experience, but when I was a uni student, my IT teacher told me face to face that "C++ is not object oriented"

I was 6 and when I realized that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Client be like: I need a simple app. Should take only one week.
App: I need a Facebook clone will all functionality. :)
Estimated budget: 20$

Poor fellas. I feel what you're going through.

Look how spontaneous they were in mentioning the workaround part. Be vocal even if you have nothing to offer. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bugfix I am most proud of?
The ones where I dont just fix a bug, but refactor an old (possibly shitty) feature thanks to new knowledge, making the next person's job easier in the process :)

Every time you squash a bug before someone else even sees it...

Lead: "There's a bug, you fix"
Me: "The PR for that has been waiting for your review since yesterday..."
