damn its really hard to get back in the flow after not touching any work for 2 weeks

[worst part of a lang i love]

Not really the language, but i hate how sbt works, it compiles small projects instantly, but really slows down at a certain size, and it seems very deterministic. It stays the same speed after that, but once you hit that project size it just immediately starts being slow.

[wk237 - how you know you got good at programming]

idk, i dont think im good, ive got to a point where i can just eyeball those stupid interview questions, which makes me happy, but thats just basic logic

i havent slept in 2 days 👍

To whoever is spending their entire botnet on ddosing my project: its working, you successfully took down a 25 line api running on a free heroku dyno, you can stop now.

in case you forgot, ludum dare starts today

Me: *pushes up code that should stop bad thing from happening*
Bad thing: *doesnt happen for a few hours*

Is..is it good??? Did i fix it????? Or does the thing just randomly not happen right now??????? We will never know.

"hey i want to print hello world to the terminal, can someone help me?"

>You should use ai for this, construct a neural network and feed it data.

>node has a great framework for printing to the terminal, use npm i termprinter && tp create-app

>*20 line bash script with esoteric unix tools nobodys heard of*

>hey i did this in unity, heres a link to my 30 minute long youtube tutorial

I somehow feel like the barrier of entry for programming has been lowered way too drastically.

raspberry pi zero w: 10$

shipping to europe: 50$

[wk226 - break outta dev slump]

ION FUCKIN KNOW HELP

[wk224 - stuff on my desk]

Cant post a picture because the office is closed again, but a ceramic cat chopstick holder from tokio, a harry potter mug, some 3d printed hex boxes for sd cards and usb sticks.

Im boutta reject a fortune500 offer, wyd?

How i love US companies and their tendency to just lazily send out a programming quiz as a part of the interview.

Look i swear i can make a fucking java bean, i just suck at coming up with algorithms okay?

Ive seen a bollywood movie about a developer but the movie was basically him roundhouse kicking bad guys in leather jackets for like an hour and gotta say, thats an accurate depiction of software development.

[made it as a developer]

When im retired, sitting on the porch of my house, petting my cat.

How capable are mobile gpus? I made a small game with godot, and all of the animations are done with shaders, and i get a really good performance, but i want to try a 3d game next and not sure if throwing 3d transformations on a mobile gpur is a good idea.

Why the fuck are all the good eu jobs in london, its a shithole with high prices for everything. Is this a trend? Am i missing something? Same question stands for silica gel valley.

why did i expect admob to be any less shitty than everything else that came from google

[how to deal with impostor syndrome]

By consuming the flesh of the innocent, or learning new skills, i forgot which one.

fuck it im making a startup

ding ding ding, my 3 years is up, buy a new one - said my phone and started lagging

shit fuck ass

i can either get the work done or write fucking documentation on my research, choose one

Im building a dead simple online store. So far the options are:
0) heroku, with redis
1) aws lambda functions and some aws storage
2) set up a vps

The domain will be a cheap .store domain, and 1 and 2 should not exceed the limit where its not free anymore. I dont want wordpress or anything premade, i dont expect more than 50 orders. Is there a more stupid solution that lets me try out different providers?

i feel like all the automated things, supposed to make development easier, just severely slow everything down

[fabourite editor]
Micro. Adds enough features to nano to be used as a code editor, and replaces the weird shortcuts with the standard ones.

[least fav part of wfh]
Not being able to have a conversation with coworkers.
No whiteboard.
No spaceous modern desk setup.
No distraction free environment.
No free coffee and lunch.
No 1500W sound system.
No 2gbps internet.

TimerTask really doesnt need to be an abstract class imo, i dont want to extend that shit

Turns out actor-based programming works really well with a game server.

Do whatever makes you happy and dont let your idiot parents pressure you into tech just because they think thats where the money is.
