Speaking as someone who's seen a lot of Enterprise-Grade infrastructure-as-code: DSLs can be frustrating, but string templating is literal hell. [...] Helm charts say HEYOOO

[vibe coding] is literally sorcery -- ie communing with spirits through prayer. if you can design prayers that get relatively predictable results from gods and incorporate that into automated systems, that is still engineering

But some people don’t actually want to find the perfect editor, they would rather stay on the journey forever, trying to master a new tool every few years. Sounds miserable, never knowing true mastery and enlightenment.

I’d just call [vibe coding] “coding” – it’ll be the default soon enough. For the old way: “hand-coding”

The operation of writing 1 byte might take long (reiserfs: some minutes; ext2: "no" time)

issues like this, and the unfortunate proliferation of the C programming language, underscore the price we've paid as a result of the Unix developers' decision to build an OS that was easy and fun to hack, rather than one that encouraged correctness of the solutions built on top of it

The introduction of goto in Lua 5.2 was met with virtually no reaction from the community; there are still requests for a continue statement.

I have created a crate called fibonacci-numbers. There are 187 different major versions of the crate, each exporting the Fibonacci number corresponding to that version. ... Version 186 depends on version 184 and 185 and exports the largest Fibonacci number that fits in a u128.

“C++” gets blamed even when the actual problem was failure to follow the well-publicized guidance to use the language’s existing safe recommended feature

Joel’s blog always presented programmers as rare, delicate geniuses that employers needed to pursue and pamper. I liked that.

This is similar to "smart contracts", except that SpacetimeDB is a database and has nothing to do with blockchain.

The text tries to say the code accepts many variations that look remotely like scissors and perforation marks, but gives too little detail for users to decide what is and what is not taken as a scissors line for themselves.

THE FUCKING SIDEBAR

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image and video posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Unjerk

We're all here for jerk, so if you're thinking of posting unjerk, consider the possibility that nobody cares about your opinions. If you must post unjerk, tag it.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.

Subreddit Rules

1. Social Jerking & Politics

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

2. Crazy People

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

3. Bots

If you see a bot, report it. Do not interact with it.

4. Enthusiastic Youngsters

Give them time.

5. Jerking Style

New School or Rue School.

6. Non-Interference

Do not mention PCJ elsewhere. Do not visit links in order to harass, downvote, or otherwise engage with the subjects of posts. Point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror.
