“Some guy I know”

These are the little fuckwits that pretend waiting on a phone call back from someone is hard work. They have no concept of what real work is like; their “work” is just their ordinary greasy life made to benefit a shareholder in addition to themselves.

Oh, you want me to go play golf with this guy using the company card and then go for dinner and drinks? Do some soft sales, just having regular conversation? Sure, I’ll take that “work”. Man, it’s tough. Nobody works 80 hour weeks like me.

Not exactly aimed at language keywords (although it is aimed at the language designers who decided abbreviations in keywords are acceptable):

I hate abbreviations in source code so fucking much. Reading is more of software engineering than writing. If you cannot be bothered to type a whole word because typing is hard for you, find a different job. Do not force others to engage in mental gymnastics to understand what the fuck a variable or function is supposed to mean.

Police don’t show up quickly enough to deal with a serious threat, so I have a firearm for home defense. Just one. Not into collecting, whether firearms or anything else.

You put the opener on the top, not the side of the can.

You think the Palantir CEO has a soul? You gaze into that orb once and it’s game over

IMO it’s sloppy, or at least a code smell, to be merging changes that still have comments like that into commercial software main branches to begin with. But it’s still not a security issue or anything like that.

The future engineer who picks up whatever ticket that’s referenced is going to have no idea that comment exists in that file unless it’s called out in the ticket anyway, or people just know to globally search for references to whatever ticket they picked up in a given day for some person’s old notes. At that point, just share a source code line link in the ticket to however many lines of code are relevant. Quite irritating to see an old comment in the code saying something like “TODO: Remove once PROJ-1234 is done” and PROJ-1234 was marked done three years ago. Does it still need to go? Why was it left in?

English language pedantry hot take? As long as a reader can understand, spelling a word the way it is pronounced is more correct than spelling it the way a dictionary spells it. The word only ended up in the dictionary spelled some way in the first place because some people were already spelling it that way. But it doesn’t mean their choice was correct then and forever. Let language evolve.

I disagree. Someone doesn’t return their shopping cart…? No remorse. No hesitation.

It’s client code, nothing there is secret. It’s served to you on a platter. Minifying is just to shrink it. Obfuscation is security theater.

Kenshi is maybe the only game I’ve played where the more I played, the more I was like “What the fuck shit hole have I been dropped into. What happened here.” And that feeling only increased the more of the world I explored.

“AAHGH WHAT IS THIS LASER BEAM”

“AAHGH WHAT ARE THESE THINGS”

“AAHGH WHY ARE THERE CANNIBALS EVERYWHERE”

“AAHGH THE RAIN HURTS WHY IS THERE PAIN RAIN”

Played too much Pokémon, now I run a bet-fueled dog fighting operation

Nobody seems to have mentioned this yet, but Trunk or Treat for lazy and/or helicopter parents has cannibalized door to door visits.

You think the QA was done by a person? I’ll bet this was Vibe QA’d.

The thing is, what they’re doing isn’t technically criminal. It just violates the terms of use of most social media sites and apps.
