We also have !softwaregore@programming.dev!

OP has a very appropriate username for posting software gore. I guess I kind of do too.

don’t post pictures of my face online, that’s rude >:(

In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.

This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.

Whoever made this graphic, it looks pretty attractive just on sheer visuals, props to you

Luckily I have not met any programmer like that yet, let’s keep our fingers crossed.

I’m willing to believe the bar to pass to be a successful programmer requires a certain level of problem-solving skill and intelligence; but that doesn’t mean no other profession has smart people. I’d imagine lots of other professions have a similar bar to pass, and even ones with lower bars to pass to succeed in that profession probably still have their prodigies and geniuses.

I know that this is an unpopular opinion among programmers but all professions have roles that range from small skills sets and little cognitive abilities to large skill sets and high level cognitive abilities.

I am kind of surprised that is an unpopular opinion. I figure there is a reason we compensate people for jobs. Pay people to do stuff you cannot, or do not have the time to do, yourself. And for almost every job there is probably something that is way harder than it looks from the outside. I am not the most worldly of people but I’ve figured that out by just trying different skills and existing.

Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny

My heart breaks for cool ideas that got taken by scammers and are now forever associated with financial predators and will probably never see legitimate use.

I’d imagine that you graduate high school at 18 and choose to go to college for the next 4, meaning you graduate as a 22-year old. Add or subtract a year for birthdays that align oddly with the academic year.

On one hand, you should probably indeed take personality quizzes claiming to be scientific online with a grain of salt and actually check if they have that kind of backing.

On another, they’re fun. I am indeed the type of person who takes shitty online quizzes! (And their sometimes-higher-quality sibling, the academic survey. I really miss r/samplesize) And that doesn’t necessarily make me an idiot. I do wonder how to let my fellow quiz takers know that there are a lot of claims to scientific validity out there that just are not true without being a buzzkill, or condescending to the ones who already know and still participate for fun—because I absolutely get wanting to combat pseudoscience and misinformation.

However, I didn’t take this quiz myself, I found this in a post online and thought Programmer Humor subscribers would find it funny.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. My main takeaway is just that while taking a break works for a lot of people a lot of the time, for this person sometimes it doesn’t.

People are different and sometimes if you are new to something, it’s helpful to see both the popular advice (take a break) and that it might not always work for some people (this poster).

What is this a screenshot of?

I once saw something about how if you are trying to build it yourself instead of using a pre-existing library you come off arrogant.

Can I build it better? Probably not. But do I want to deal with a dependency in my fun side project (unfun), when I could just build it myself (fun)? No.

I probably should to get more practice with it so it is less painful, but…

git add . > git commit -m "initial" > git push

Later when I git status or just look at the repo online… “oh crap I let .DS_Store in didn’t I…” and then I remember to set up a .gitignore and make a new commit to take out the .DS_Store and put in the .gitignore.

I did not know about this so I found a source talking more about it, dropping it for anyone curious

I was able to read the image but thank you for your efforts for those who could not, transcribers always appreciated

New fear unlocked: I fit this description and just don’t realize it. Kind of along the lines of imposter syndrome. Am I just bullshitting everyone around me into thinking I’m competent?

It pays to play incremental games because a lot of the devs have posted their code online.

Fork > fix > happy

Oh thank goodness I am not the only one. Just the way I, an American, read things, and my cynicism about people trying to replace devs with AI says top (trying to hire real devs) goes first and bottom (fired everyone) second; title and the fact this was posted in Programmer Humor implies it’s bottom first and top second.

I’ll be the idiot who doesn’t get the joke.

I recognize that programmers often start counting at 0.

I’m not sure how this connects to 0 being lonely, since that means it’s getting used. Even if the programmers are lonely, I still do not get it. Can someone explain?
