Why don't they program using spreadsheets? Are they stupid?

It's like if farmers were just letting plants do all the work, instead of manually assembling the potatoes themselves
It's like the joke about the invoice charging 0.10$ for a screw and 100$ for knowing which screw to replace.
Coding is easy. Software engineering not so much.
The job of a programmer is to reintroduce a bug that was fixed in the last patch.
Merge needs some stomp, yeah, mine stomp yours.
edit: note, this is a good thing, cause then we both have unlimited supply of tickets.
genuine c/programmerhumor
Spoken like a true normie 👍
Hey, how do you get the creative Commons attribution to automatically appear under your comments?
Unfortuately, it's manual :) Keyboard shortcut to put the text into the clipboard and then paste it into the comment.
If you're on linux using X11
#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -i bash --packages xautomation xclip
sleep 0.2
printf '[Anti Commercial-AI license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)' | xclip -selection clipboard
#(echo ' spoiler Anti Commercial AI thingy
#[CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)

#Inserted with a keystroke running this script on linux with X11
#```bash'
#cat "$0"
#echo '```
#:::') | xclip -selection clipboard
xte "keydown Control_L" "key V" "keyup Control_L"

Obviously your way works fine, but I think a browser extension could make it 100% automatic.
Can ya please go back to the Drop-Down thingy for your license? It's already annoying on its own, but it gets even more so when Voyager adds the Link-Preview
please don't, it literally fills half the screen for me
Dropdown doesn't work for at least 2 clients. This is the best I can do.
If it really does bother you, block me 🤷
You know what's funny, the two clients that don't support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.
I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.
why would someone go out of their way to use closed source lemmy clients?
ok
@ElCanut geee, I wonder how did they make Microsoft Access.
There's an intern inside the server that checks every transaction by hand
Sometimes it feels like most of my job nowadays is deleting code now.
Be careful with that one. I'm not sure about your experience level, but a mistake newer (and some more experienced) programmers often make is taking DRY too far.
It's easy to "dry" something up to the point where it's spaghetti that's overly clever about how it reduces lines of code resulting in some crazy inheritance hierarchy even you are afraid to change.
To me, there is no greater high than seeing big negative numbers on a commit. Deleting stuff is the most satisfying experience in programming. A commit with +10, -142 is mint.
Hmm, is this a new take on the "Stop Doing Math" meme?
"She". The gag of SwiftOnSecurity is it's Taylor Swift, posting infosec. Tho these days she mostly trolls like this.
Is it actually Taylor Swift?
Yes. If you think that's cool, just wait until you meet @[email protected]
isn't that the award winning actress?
I, for one, thinks she's pretty cool.
Yes. On the matter security.
Of course, do you think people just go on the internet and tell lies?
That's why I asked. Wasn't sure if it was a joke about the name, or if it's someone pretending to be Taylor Swift, or the real deal (which I never heard of because I don't follow Taylor Swift - or because it's not real.)
I've never found a problem that can't be exacerbated with Microsoft Access.
