I don’t know how other devs tolerate IDEs in the first place. Is not (neo)vim and CLI sufficient?

The loss of credibility is not because it’s discord,. specifically.

It’s because the project thinks a chat platform is an appropriate way to document a project. I would feel the same way if someone told me to get on IRC for docs, or Slack.

I would immediately patch in a “no witches” mode.

Every instance of “witch” is replaced with “warlock”.

And if there were graphics, every witch would have a photorealistic penis hanging out the front of her his robes.

I wasn’t prepared to be personally attacked like this.

Obviously that was Obama.

There was one years ago I had where all you needed was to type course.pass(true) into the console.

It’s a twofold scam.

One, because the person is buying new, it’s driving up sales to a bunch of “confirmed” addresses, which is an important metric for Amazon sales.

Two, the “random” destination is a second customer’s address, and the friend is being an unwitting proxy in a drop shipping scheme.

…don’t blink

That sounds like a problem for IT, not a dev. ;)

Yeah, yeah, but I don’t have to patch it.

All cool, but not what the FCC can do.

To pass laws, look to Congress. Remember to vote for the candidates you think will help accomplish those sorts of things.

The vertical tabs are why I keep it around.

Until about maybe six months ago, Edge was great (please ignore the massive amount of data it sends to MS) as a browser. The user experience was top notch.

Some product owner with shit for brains was hired and started cramming Bing and AI nonsense into every corner.

MS needs to ease up, fast.

I always start with the basics for my test cases. Like, every test case has a name, and assert(true) in the body.

I was fine with this episode up until the Connie Francis song.

Wow, I would pass on this job so fast.

Not because it’s hard to fire up curl or something, but because any company that thinks this is a better solution than a human reviewing a resume needs to be smacked. Because you know what the very next step is? They’re going to ask for a resume, and then make you sit through that bullshit where you type your resume into a hundred different boxes into their candidate management system / workday / talento / etc., and promise to “get back to you soon.”

You know how you can check if a candidate can interact with an API? Send them a coding test. Ask questions. Do some whiteboarding with them. This sort of shit is just some HR lackey ninja thinking they’re clever and edgy.

Hey, I’m a senior developer with 25+ years’ experience and more languages and tools and stacks and environments and so on that is reasonable to list in a comment. In my decades of experience, finding someone who is legitimately good at Excel is a rarity.

I pass by the front page to hit my porn-filled multireddit (hey, leave me alone, the non-straight content on lemmy is still lacking). The front page is stagnant, it’s pretty bad out there.

Of course not. If I’m going to gargle nuts, I require them be washed.

I knew a guy that had a roll of custom-printed “I park like a jackass” stickers. They weren’t very large – I think they were originaly labels for folders or something.

But they were on tamper-proof stickers, the kind that were metalic and broke into a bunch of tiny pieces when you tried to peel them off.

He’d slap two or three of them on the driver’s side windshield and window out of the main line of sight, but you couldn’t miss them when driving.

They’re a pain in the ass to get off. I know, because he put one on my car that said, “I lick sweaty ballsacks”.
