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.

This man corpos

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 ?

I know a hardware guy that lives on a farm and uses raspberry pi for his garden hoses.

Do you ever make install for minutes just to have it crash at the end because you missed a completely random C dependency?

I worked today and have O commits.

I know someone who routinely preorders games and constantly gets disappointed and never fails to preorder again.

Triple A games most of the time. You can probably guess which franchises.

This is the classic mass effect dialogue option meme where you pick a mellow option and then the MC lashes out.

A: “No.” B: “that’s a great idea”

You pick a. Then: “Why would you ever suggest that idea, that’s horrible, I want you out of my group!”

Won’t ever be because we’re in the stage where everything is marketed as much as possible.it would take a massive cultural and political shift to change that.

That’s a very good point. My angle is as a dev and not as IT or sys admin. Power shell is probably far more powerful in those circles.

Functionally speaking, PS is a really good shell language. Its minor things about it that I dont enjoy. As you said, it feels like the language design has some poor decisions.
