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.

I mean… is that what you want ?

There isn’t a single piece of software that I use that makes me think I should upgrade my 5600. Not a single game fully utilizes it (on 1440p res)

Older hardware is fine.

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 ?

As someone who didn’t see their parents throughout the school year: Kinda sucked.

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

Why not? I feel like lemmy is overall a less restrictive environment.

I worked today and have O commits.

I don’t know a single ui person or artist that gives a single f about open source.

I think as a dev you naturally grow to respect the open source space because of how much you take from it.

I would love to be proven wrong though

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.
