Do you have the email address of this devil guy? I’d like to chat.
Hi this is the devil guy. Just catch and swallow all exceptions and you’re golden.
Sorry, I don’t swallow on the first date.
Ah, so you are the guy who created “On Error Resume Next” in Visual Basic and populated it in the beginning of every function in my company’s code! I hate you!
Yes. I am become tech debt, the devourer of mandays.
“On Error Resume Next” in Visual Basic
This is always presented as the worst thing about Visual Basic, which is incorrect. The worst thing was “On Error Resume” which just re-executed the line that caused the error in the first place.
I will keep this knowledge a closely guarded secret.
I never, ever hated my job as a programmer as much as when I was forced to do pair programming. If I’d wanted to be around another person all day, I never would have become a programmer in the first place.
When I was a kid, I programmed a jump and run game and each time I found a bug, I made a new level in which you needed to use it.
Sometimes I feel like the only non-tech worker on Lemmy. This place desperately needs more diversity
That’s a normal consequence of more tech-savvy people leaving Reddit than others. Just gotta wait for spez to mess it up even more and we’ll get a wider variety of people here.
Oh boy, can’t wait for even more neoliberals to have such bold takes as “hmmm, both sides are bad, AKSHUALLY”
This is a small niche site after all - logging in requires knowing about its existance - and reddit is very popular, but not in a good way. Even in disagreement, I have not found that level of hostility here. At some point reddit was starting to become a dead weight in my life, incapable of giving me unique informations.
Be the change you want to see.
I hear you. Cheers
Encourage your other non-tech friends and colleagues to join a Lemmy instance then. The fediverse hasn’t gotten big enough and normal people haven’t really gotten to the level of technical literacy yet to be able to come here organically yet
We are here because we are nerds that already care about FOSS.
I’m a diesel technician haha
I love the little bug holding up the stick supporting everything in the stack overflow.
That’s exactly what I was reminded of. There truly is an xkcd for everything.
This is missing printf debugging.
Console is a log “file” on Linux. You could tail your pty if you really wanted to…
Where’s the
console.log('here')
? That would be the equivalent of a “you are here” on a map.git bisect
is just this guy jumping through portals to alternate universes where the bug either exists or doesn’tthis is so deaf people know what the words sound like?
