programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

Maybe there wouldn't be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY "powerwolf112", who hasn't answered a single message in GitHub since 2021????

For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

The GUMBIES page being one sentence per scroll scroll scroll is right on point for a fuckload of projects. Even the text feels like it was copy pasted from a real project

And that one line is something like "fixed issue where the nuclear bombs don't go off anymore", no mention as to how or why that was even a problem or how they fixed it.

By the end of the post chain, I could no longer tell if this was a joke or not.

I'm still just trying to figure out if GUMBIES is compatible with my ReverMax Turbo Encabulator model XYZZY in sinusoidal repleneration mode.

nice to see another vxjunkie here

A lot of them were shifted 1 second into the future following the problems with the cracked frampton valve on a popular model of felindrical phase felcher.

It'll be extra fun in a few years when someone names their project after this joke.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

And stop answering on GitHub after 7 years on v0.1.1

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Any experience with it?

Sure

For at least 5 year?

The framework was created last year

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

I just found out GUMBIES 7 isn't backwards compatible with GUMBIES 1.

And yes I know GUMBIES 1 was released in 2013, but still what the actual fuck!
