More like, you know damn well that Jim keeps passing code reviews without reading a line in them, he’s been talked to, still does it, and you need something actionable to prove it so that you can get someone’s ass in his chair who does their job.

Those two will drop incoming Legion goons from outside of render range. Boone will jump-scare me with sudden camera pans to exploding Legion heads while I didn’t even know combat was happening.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has been on this list since the release of the steam deck because the 3 people still trying to play that game on the deck haven’t finished loading the world yet

We have. You can buy cheap-ass smartphones at Walmart, etc with ads baked into the OS. Lots of my folks are pretty broke living down in Louisiana and have them. If you need a phone cheap, say for example you can’t afford a real phone and you’re planning to sell some drugs, they’re some of the cheapest usable phones you can get.

I fucking love this post and reference it constantly to my programmer friends. It’s one of my favorite bits of writing to exist, honestly.

For that matter, actually, pretty much everything Peter Welch writes is great. I highly recommend taking a peek through the rest of his blog. I liked it so much I bought one of his books.

Teaching someone the wrong way to do something frequently makes the right way make way more sense. Someone who just copy/pasted 99 near identical if statements understands on a fundamental level when, why, and where you use a for loop much more than someone who just read in the textbook “a for loop is used to iterate elements in a collection”.

I genuinely believe something like this is what some of my professors wanted me to submit back in school. I once got a couple points off a project for not having a clarifying comment on every single line of code. I got points off once for not comment-clarifying a fucking iterator variable. I wish I could see what they would have said if I turned in something like this. I have a weird feeling that this file would have received full marks.

I command you to show me the manual

I don’t recognize that machine… I think that is new. The bulbs in it sort of look like the liquid bulbs on the hazmat armors. But it could be (and probably is) something else.

Doesn’t do anything yet, I suppose?

Oh I guess I’ll just save this then and try ag- SEGFAULT

Thaaaat’s more like it.
