I love and hate C++ it’s my self abuse love language.

Love: wow I’d like to make a project that does Y in cpp. Abuse: actually working on it.

One of the best devs I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet chatted with me about the worst code we’ve ever wrote. We even provided links to the specific repos and lines. Nothing to be ashamed of.

I was watching a YouTuber going over a major revision update for a framework or something and he said “I skipped over the part where I was coding this” nah dude, I wanna see that as well. What did you try and how did it go.

So much weird ego in coding.

Asshole take: if you share your project online but not the source code I immediately think your code sucks.

Let’s be real your clone project is not something a venture capitalist is going to invest in, there’s literally no reason to hide it but shame. Shame of sinful and bad code.

It gets easier the more you do it but ts needed a default official config to start things up with.

I started as a python enjoyer. 6 years later I can confidently say fuck dynamic typing, fuck mutable defaults.

Also fuck python and js (used both for work) TS is better but we all know it’s not by much

Any svelte enjoyers

Chef’s kiss 👌

Also this just looks like bad code, not a limiting feature of the language.

I hate it

I never wrote an api that had a health system. Could you help me understand why that matters and how that helps ?

Not necessarily. It’s in my contract that I can take short breaks whenever and that includes looking at my phone.

Where do you work that you don’t seem to have a single shred of freedom?

I work as a software dev. I occasionally browse lemmy but I don’t “get paid to look at it”.

Ah. Yes this is the perfect excuse for when my coworkers and managers walk by.

If you use vscode, try out the merge editor. It’s a lot clearer to me when the merge diffs are huge.

I would also say to check out the latest branch for each file you commit. If your file is file.tsx checkout file.tsx in the main branch to make sure you know what you’re changing.

Yes. The meme said so and it is now universally and unrefutably true.
