Sure, but if the options are to watch something in low resolution or not at all, I’m picking up the novelisation instead.

I suppose if you’re that far right the gap between yourself and other points on the political spectrum is quite a gulf.

Brian Lunduke is still around? Oh dear

I thought it had had that for twenty years?

HENGE’s song about them is excellent.

My job isn’t this bad but has the occasional pointless company meeting and the like. I’m fine with it - it’s their money they’re wasting. I do not look to my employer for meaning - I like the team I work with but I’ve no love for the work. I’m good at it and try to find joy in it where I can, but it is not my primary source of personal validation.

It’s a pretty comfortable life. I’ve worked for myself before and it was much harder in every way with nowhere near the pay.

You met me at a very strange time in my life.

Similarly I find it very useful for if I’ve written a tool script and really don’t want to write the command line interface for it.

“Here’s a well-documented function - write an argparser for it”

…then I fix its rubbish assumptions and mistakes. It’s probably not drastically quicker but it doesn’t require as much effort from me, meaning I can go harder on the actual function (rather than keeping some effort in reserve to get over the final hump).

Yeah, one of my colleagues leans on it too hard and it’s really undermining his actual talent.

I’ve seen it generate working unit tests plenty. In the sense that they pass.

…they do not actually test the functionality. Of course that function returns what you’re asserting - you overwrote its actual output and checked against that!

Bury them.

On the flipside I’ve encountered docs that expect the reader to already understand the functionality in order to be able to use the docs. They seem to exist solely as a reminder to those who already know.

There’s a reason I don’t bother running my own mailservers anymore!

I hear that. I was refactoring a codebase and they used a special library for tooltips. There are two tool tips on the entire site and the library uses its own perverse syntax.

I’ve never got into modern JS frameworks because they seem to be utterly insane. If you need all that to build a site, you need to work on your fundamentals.

Who is still using fuckin’ Twitter? Don’t go to the nazi bar.

But cookies are a subset of biscuits…

I’ve used it for one small project and quite liked it. I struggle with the concepts behind relational databases and Mongo’s approach was understandable for me.

Yep, but not on Lemmy. She uses Mastodon.

That didn’t happen until 2013.

I have a laptop in portrait mode directly above a landscape monitor. I’m ungovernable, apparently.
