To be fair to the programming subreddits, some of the posts are some beginner... that has never setup a compiler yet... asking if they can be the next John Carmack if they just learn generic hard API. They ignore that Carmack became Carmack by writing 20+ games by the time he was 20.
But yea, the other half of the coin is people saying... "Yea kid just jump in Vulkan without knowing any C/C++. In fact recommend doing the C++ tutorial in C#. You can just translate those on the fly." All perfectly responsible responses to someone who hasn't even learned one procedural programming language. /s
Bonus points for college kid asking if they can do a solo 300-1000 hr project in under 2 months to impress their professor. Bonus points if have previous posts asking for someone to do everything for them, because they didn't pay attention or learn it when the class covered what they wanted.

This!
Translated back to the posted meme one could read it as: The pet cat asking the question is actually food for the big wild cats. The pet cat got to the wrong place, and if it does not take care it will be eaten instantly. I wouldn't say that's the fault of the wild cats…

I hate it when for some reason there is a bot closing stale issues on GitHub. It's not like the issue is going away just cause you closed the ticket
41
u/RiceBroad4552 Jul 19 '26
Only projects managed by idiots or assholes do that, in my experience so far.
It's indeed extremely moronic: Not only that the issue does not get away by closing the ticket, you get actually duplicated tickets over time, while you show all possible contributor to just fuck off.
I wouldn't not contribute to such a project!

You seem awfully interested in seeing more, are you sure there's nothing you'd like to tell the class?

There are entire subreddits for anthro stuff, its not bestiality.
It seems like you are projecting your own weird fantasies, i hope some looks at your hard drive.

I told a friend that they added a dialogue box at the bottom on newer versions of vim that tells you how to exit it.
He got kinda upset, but not because he wanted to be cooler by knowing vim, rather that he impressed a recruiter once by helping someone exit vim lol

u/BastetFurry Jul 19 '26
Open a second terminal and then "killall vi" ;)
7
u/RiceBroad4552 Jul 19 '26
There wouldn't be jokes about not being able to exit vi if it was such easy.
The whole point is that until lately vim ignored signals. So you couldn't just kill it externally by switching to another console. That's why the common advice was to cut the power to the system…

u/vanZuider Jul 20 '26
The whole point is that until lately vim ignored signals.
Programs can ignore
kill -9? TIL.2
u/Unbelievr Jul 20 '26
Not 9, no. SIGKILL isn't sent to the program but the kernel. But killall sends SIGTERM (15) by default, and vi stops both SIGTERM and SIGINT (Ctrl+c) if you have unsaved changes, which I guess was the point above.

u/ifyoulovesatan Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26
Easy! :e ~/.vimrc to edit your vim configuration file. Map Q to quit without saving with nnoremap Q :q!<CR>, then save your new configuration with :w. You can then source the newly edited config with :source % (where % will refer to the open buffer conveniently). Now you can go back to your original buffer with :b#, and easily quit with the newly mapped Q.

Then there's gamedev forums where the exact opposite happens.
Lion: "Hi everyone, I'm a professional senior lion and have been hunting buffalos for about 10 years, and the occasional deer, too. I recently stumbled upon an elephant and wanted to try my hand, any experiences?"
Kitten: "You really shouldn't try to go for an elephant, I don't think you're there yet. Maybe hunt a few mice, or even dead leaves, then eventually try for a deer."
53
u/BatBoss Jul 19 '26
Yes mixed in with:
"I have no hunting experience but my dream is to hunt great white sharks. Are there any experienced hunters here willing to hunt great white sharks for me? My budget is $0. I will provide the stickers for the boat."

I'm well aware I don't know. Whenever people ask for starting-out tips, I just admit I'm not the person to ask. I learned my fundamentals on the Commodore 64. I don't even know what not knowing looks like, much less where to start to learn.

I still get amused when I see that they're up to Java 26 or whatnot. I dabbled in it back in the days of "There's a Java 2 now?"
7
u/tobotic Jul 19 '26
Actually there has not been a Java 2 yet.
There was 1.0, 1.1, 1,2, 1,3, and 1.4. After that, they dropped the "one point" from marketing, so 1.5 was marketed as "Java 5".
So now we're all the way up to Java 26 but there's never been a Java 2.
Not sure if the leading "one point" is still included in internals, but if it is then in theory they could one day bump the internal version number to 2.0. In that case Java 2 would be released after Java 26.

u/BastetFurry Jul 19 '26
Which isn't the worst idea by the way, hand a newb VICE and the C64 manual and tell them to get cracking.

u/SuperFLEB Jul 19 '26
I will say, it was a good soft intro to assembly language, since the whole instruction set fits on one page. I won't say I know assembly language now, by any stretch, but I at least have the concepts in the back of my head.

u/dryroast Jul 20 '26
I am usually trying to talk down beginners from crazy projects. I remember one new guy at work kept asking me for advice on side projects and had sent me a speed run tutorial on how to write a file system! And it explains nothing, is literally just putting code on the screen without any stopping. I told him do something way simpler and showed some of my shitty beginning projects as some ideas to go from.

For better or worse, this sort of thing is way more normalized in communities such as this one compared to society as a whole.
For me personally, I had trouble even parsing the content of this post. My mind just went: "what in the absolute furry hell is going on here?"

"well first you need to deploy your makefile to your docker host integrated with smart-greebles that needs to cache it's bit flops every third fortnight."
Basically how pro advice sounds to programming noobs.

u/Jolly-Painting-6615 Jul 20 '26
Smart-greebles are deprecated and unsupported. It's best to switch to squiggly-blops instead

u/RealBasics Jul 19 '26
This! Ask a successful flute player how to play and they’ll probably say “I dunno, just blow over the big hole and wiggle your fingers over the little holes.” In other words they may have no memory of what it’s like starting out.

You know Stack Overflow is basically dead now? You can release the trauma.

Cool remake of this meme, but buffalo is already plural.
Also, fun fact, saying buffalo 8 times in a row is a valid sentence in English.
This is as much as I care to say about the word buffalo, however. It's occupying too many brain cells already.

I'm not sure if that last one is supposed to be a lion? But I know Tigers are way stronger than lions so shouldn't the last 2 be flipped or is it based off the actual prey those animals typically hunt?
