programmers are always posting like “worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn’t in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don’t do a cache flush on all the client spiders they’ll get stuck in the crystal maze.” then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like
“GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.
GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.
See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows.”
and you get to the bottom and you’re like I want this I guess but I still don’t know what it is

Maybe there wouldn’t be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY “powerwolf112”, who hasn’t answered a single message in GitHub since 2021???
For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

found this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance

I am not 100% convinced that this is satire…
Gumbies isn’t real… Right?Wdym? Gumbies is a must-have for any competent Summit developer these days!
Give some JS dev about fifteen minutes
I won’t lie, but content like this is what I love on programmerhumor.
Also just use the (inferior) open source version of GUMBIES called GRUMBOSS. It’s way better!
LUMBIES is open source MIT and GPL3+
Just saying.
Yeah, but LUMBIES is missing catScratcher integration! That’s a core feature for my use case and the dev has taken a (ridiculous IMO) proud moral stance against any sort of felidae-adjacent features
Good luck with that. Nintendo just sued GRUMBOSS for $2.4M and shut the project down.
Gumboss doesn’t work with the new version of .net and no merge requests have been accepted in like 8 months so you have to manually patch each instance of it yourself to get it work.
There’s a script you can download to do this automatically and it works a good 70% of the time!
The recent regulation changes at the end of February kinda killed GRUMBOSS though.
I fed this into chat gpt asking for documentation to add to the gibberish and confusion:

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.
I experienced a new hell today
The whole of the documentation was in video format and you had to accept all cookies to play the videos
At least with GUMBIES not having documentation there is a wide thread of people asking questions on third party sites
By the end of the post chain, I could no longer tell if this was a joke or not.
Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.

It’s fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)
Is the fediverse starting to get rolled into the mainstream content farm. Might help our cause and get more people on the bandwagon.
I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.
Thanks everyone, I figured it out.
GUMBIES isn’t real, it can’t hurt me…
Oh honey, just because it’s not real doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you. Just look up Roko’s basilisk as an example.
The ego and audacity to think an AI will simulate you in eternal torment when that would use up precious resources it could be spending on making paperclips.
Every time I want to do something, I have a look around the baffling ecosystem of frameworks and end up writing it from scratch because it’s easier than wading through the bullshit.
You should release what you’ve written as a framework, that’s what everyone else is doing.

Wait a second… Is that a Mastodon screenshot on a Tumblr blog?!?
Quick! Screenshot it here and post it on Facebook! The cycle must continue!
