If you cut yourself with a knife, it might be your fault. And it might be that the knife is sharp on both sides and has no handle.
I like to jump out of bed and put weight on the leg.
That is if my blanket doesn’t trip me.
It feels like I’m thirty years too young to get these jokes.
2? What’d I miss?
20 seconds, Germany. Waiting while they checked if my name was on the list.
Completely depends on how often you need to write boilerplate code, and how error-prone it is.
After writing hundreds of instances of ‘fetch this from the server and show an error if it doesn’t work’, I finally wrote a helper for that. It took 2 hours, shouts at me if I use it wrong, and instantly makes my classes easier to read because all the boilerplate is gone. As an added bonus, the invocation is so small that Copilot can write it error-free, which it couldn’t before.
So fetching things is now a thing of a few seconds instead of one minute with a chance of making a mistake. I say it’s worth it.
The guidelines in Germany say the first line of the screen should be 10cm (4 ½in) below your eyes. I find that uncomfortable, too.
C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.
Umm… I don’t know what happened, exactly. When I first clicked the link to get a bigger picture, I somehow ended up on imgur, which only had a very low-resolution version. I could only find the big picture in the linked reddit, so I posted it.
I cannot reproduce this issue anymore, so I removed my comment.
There’s a great section in the second Hitchhiker’s book about this exact topic – if anyone’s interested.

Bro, just one more bug fix, I swear. The base design is good, promise. This is just a simple bug that I need to fix. It doesn’t require redesigning my approach. I know I’m calling the same function 8 times to get the same data each time, but that’s just this one time, bro. I know they’re asynchronous functions and loading now takes 300ms, but this is just during development, bro. I know I’ve inlined about 7 different things that should be seprate, but that was necessary to fix the previous last bug. I swear, I’m almost done. This is the last bug to fix, bro.

Are the legend markers not ordered? Or is ‘Left-hand traffic with exceptions’ really more ‘left-hand’ than ‘Left-hand traffic’?
