Tiefling IRL

Yeah but that’s all my replacement’s problem to deal with

Because the Republican party is a party of suffering. They get off to it

They help to digest the individual code blocks. My mind doesn’t digest whitespace the same way, it simply interprets it as formatting.

It’s also much more frustrating to edit imo since the formatter generally has no idea what to do with misaligned whitespace. I also find it frustrating that you can’t do multiline lambdas, last I used it.

That’s really the part I hate the most. it just feels wrong

The most cryptic status code I’ve received is 403: OK, while the entire app fails to load

Programmers become obsolete when they stop evolving with technology

Ooooh I’ve seen this movie!

'strawberry'.match(/r/ig).length

They’re terrified of being treated the same way they treat minorities and women

Most of the time O(n^2) is optimized to O(n log n). You’ll get some sort of award if you can figure out a sorting function that runs in O(n).

The people who use any and non-strict TS are the same ones who complain about TS/JS letting them compare an object to an string array

It’s not always whole hours

Yup you know the one

I should apply and tell them I’m a Latin American

✅ Useless comment
✅ Common typo
✅ Looks like VSCode

That code snippet looks mighty sketch

I do go file by file, but I just copy and paste the same query into each. It also gives me a chance to do a quick review before moving on. It’s still a manual process but it’s a HELL of a lot faster than manually refactoring.

(I can’t give too many more details though since I use proprietary software that isn’t public facing)

It takes a long time because it hits a lot of files, not because it’s logically complex. Also, that’s why unit and integration tests exist.

Stuff like this is really useful when variable names are annoying, or when you have to repeat the same monotonous pattern over a large batch of code.

My favorite use of AI in code so far has been refactoring deprecated feature flags. “Replace enableXYZFeatureFlag with true and optimize the code”. Bam, 1-2 hours’ worth of crunch work solved in minutes.
