There is an ocean of context required for me to understand this insult.
Though I am humbled by the amount there is to learn in this world, I intend to use this insult daily.
You sound like a guy who would like planting a pumpkin in your flower garden.

Compilers are some of the longest-studied and programmed softwares. They are specifically designed, purpose-built and exceptionally tested. Most of all, they are deterministic.
Using the magic incantation box that sometimes tells you to bleach your pizza is not the same.
Interesting article on treating agent output like compiler output (and why)

ITT worst tech takes in a while.
I don't use Linux because I want to.
I use it because it treats me less like shit than Windows does. Windows has been signalling to me for a while that they don't want users like me.
I don’t think the Windows run box should be user friendly tbh.
Normies are already getting one-shotted by malicious websites that tell them to run a command that just installs malware.
The design should imply “this box should be rarely used and by nerds only”.

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

It's a good thing to have a simple named-number that only exists for the coder
AI is taking jobs from the C standard committee who are still trying their best to offer enum-to-string for the past 30 years.
I'm sure we'll get there (laughs).

Guys when asked "are video games art?" can you bring actual good games as an example and not persona or kingdom hearts

Why the hell would you put the null check AFTER the member access??
This function has a NULL check. GCC at -O2 can remove it.
not a bug the C standard allows it. under optimization, that if-check may not survive to the binary.

"In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available"
Me, looking for the high quality software
Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available.
"We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully."
"It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it."
"Those days are just over."
"If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it."
"Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy."

Started Final Fantasy 6 for the first time. Feels like a massive payoff for playing these in order. Been rad seeing how each one grows and changes from the last. But god 6 just shoots for the moon with what a 2D RPG can do. It’s so good.

16gb of RAM would actually be plenty for the majority of uses if software developers didn't stop caring about memory usage. Most of the past ten years of dev has been stitching together overbloated libraries for dev convenience.

On the bright side, maybe this will put a dent in the market of egregious Electron apps.

Clearly this person has never been on a big and complex enough project to see how bad code and tech debt bring forward movement to a grinding halt.
We don't like good code just for the sake of it. We like good code because we care about not fucking our future selves.
I'm fascinated by this level of existential crisis developers seem to be going through.
The uncomfortable truth is nobody needs you to be an artisan coder.
Nobody cares about how you coded your app, or whether you feel an emotional attachment to your craft.
You were always code monkey with a high enough salary to believe that your individualist craftsmanship matters to anyone.
It doesn't matter to anyone but you. Not your employer, not your customer. Nobody cares about how you made the product. Nobody cares about your attachment to your process.
You're experiencing the same as countless other artisans have experienced in the last century.
I'm happy for you. You were starting to believe that you're a demigod amongst mortals.
You're not. A machine is better than you.
Now you're free.

I love Slay the Spire, and I'm no AAA apologist - there is much wrong and unsustainable about the current model.
But what these kinds of posts fail to mention is that STS is 1 of 100,000, whereas AAA games consistently break top 20.
Mar 7
Indie game Slay the Spire 2 has surpassed 524,000 concurrent players on Steam, now in the top 20 games with the highest all-time peaks on Steam.
Meanwhile, AAA game Marathon has lost almost half its players.
