Why did the porn star become a network admin after retiring?

She was already an expert in load balancing

Fake developer doesn't use version control. Big surprise.

Acts like SVN and CVS didn't exist

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Also like Reddit did

Don't worry, I'm sure Cursor will be able to clobber your git history and force push to master any day now

I wonder how you managed revisions to punch cards...

[–] bambootstrap@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Coloured punch cards? I have no idea either.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 weeks ago

Easy, pens, eraser, tape and writing comments on the card

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just tape it over.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How do you view old versions?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Remove the tape.

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a lot of tape to manage ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ)

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 weeks ago

They actually used red tape for that, and this is why burocracy is called red tape, because they had to fill paperwork everytime a code change was needed or reversed.

I just want to pause a moment to wish a "fuck you" to the guy who named an AI model "Cursor" as if that's a useful name. It's like they're expecting accidental google searches to be a major source of recruitment.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not an AI model, it's an IDE

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 28 points 3 weeks ago

I did that with documents in my Uni years.
By the end, I was using ISO timestamps.

Just save your prompts and vibes in a Google doc dude

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

You could literally just save a copy to your desktop before you're going to do something sensitive.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What about tortoisegit

[–] Giloron@programming.dev 7 points 4 weeks ago

🤮

But actually...

It is good for some things. It even got support for staging files recently.
