Yeah. But I’m also using a keyboard layout where frequently used keys aren’t on my pinky, and a keyboard where modifiers are on my thumb cluster, rather than on my pinky.

IT years are similar to dog years, an IT year is multiple normal human years, so 14 IT years is certainly IT decades.

Sadly, that’s not code Linus wrote. Nor one he merged. (It’s from git, copied from rsync, committed by Junio)

There are no bugs. Just happy little accidental features.

The single best thing I like about Zed is how they unironically put up a video on their homepage where they take a perfectly fine function, and butcher it with irrelevant features using CoPilot, and in the process:

• Make the function’s name not match what it is actually doing.
• Hardcode three special cases for no good reason.
• Write no tests at all.
• Update the documentation, but make the short version of it misleading, suggesting it accepts all named colors, rather than just three. (The long description clarifies that, so it’s not completely bad.)
• Show how engineering the prompt to do what they want takes more time than just writing the code in the first place.

And that’s supposed to be a feature. I wonder how they’d feel if someone sent them a pull request done in a similar manner, resulting in similarly bad code.

I think I’ll remain firmly in the “if FPS is an important metric in your editor, you’re doing something wrong” camp, and will also steer clear of anything that hypes up the plagiarism parrots as something that’d be a net win.

I think I can pinpoint the exact date things went sideways. It was a dark day on Monday, October 1, 2012.

Oh, sure, of course, my apologies. I hope my repeated utterances of the word will not summon Raku.

…fuck, I said it out loud.

Perl is what the Great Old Ones are afraid of, for It is so vast and powerful that even a Great Old One cannot comprehend Its true power.

There are worse things out there than Great Old Ones. You might invoke Perl by accident.
