Hell yeah

I choose neither, and instead day dream about fully automated luxury gay space communism, knowing I’m gonna die before such a thing could ever come to fruition.

I am deeply jealous

I work on proprietary code for a living. I can confirm it is embarrassing.

Yeah, I’m still a bit irked about that. But the new system is good at least.

Hell yeah

Whenever I set something up I usually make a markdown file listing the commands and steps to take. I do this as I am setting things up and familiarizing myself, so once I’m done, I have a start to finish guide.

Raw text/markdown files will be readable until the end of time.

Factorio players had this solved forever ago

I read money as monkey and wondered why monkeys were being turned to AI.

Shakespeare isn’t gonna write itself I guess.

Nope. It was buried 300 lines into a 600 line C function.

The cherry on top was that testing at this place was all manually done on the hardware. And the “unit testing” comprised of making one off tests to prove line coverage, then throwing out the unit tests because the IDE we were using would have an aneurysm if it tried to open up existing unit tests.

I was the poor fuck tasked with writing throw away “unit testing” code for that bastard of a function. All of it was probably written before I was born.

1. Take from index 10 of the buffer, AND it with some hard-coded hex value.

2. Bit shift it by a hard-coded amount of 2

3. Do the first two steps, but with a different hard-coded index, hex value, and bit shift.

4. OR the two results.

5. Shove the result back into a buffer.

All of this is one line with no commenting or references to what the fuck this process comes from or why it is applicable. Then there was a second copy of the line, but with different hard-coded values.

That’s supposed to be a problem?

I write code

(It’s still a bullshit job)

Didn’t even notice over here on slrpnk

Gonna be a fun day at work today

The RC cola, is gonna glow

Should do it again just to be sure it worked.

The team lead has spend the last two months writing a permissions library that nobody understands how to use or debug. He wrote it with Cthulhu at his side. Soon not even Cthulhu will understand it.

I’ve been using it on linux as well, though I’ve been using godot script. I’m not the biggest fan of godot script, but again it gets the job done and has IMO very little bullshit.
