I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

I think a lot of devs can relate to that

In my company everyone is called Software Development Engineer 🤷‍♂️

Basically, they won’t bother sueing you unless you end up making millions off it

But at that point the program will likely not even be reminiscent of its original form

started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running

Coding a linked list in C in Notepad and only one syntax error? This guy’s worth the money!

whoosh

Sounds like a great DRY culture to me

Industrial workers in the 20th century probably never imagined being replaced by robots, but it’s happened on a large scale.

There’s still plenty of industrial workers. The same will be true for programmers as AI proliferates.

These jobs don’t go away, they just become more specialized

But I will agree with the general notion that we as programmers are incredible fortunate to be able to work from anywhere, creatively, without physical labor

It does. OSS needs visibility, it needs contributions

GitHub’s community and discoverability features really help with that, as much as it sucks that they got acquired by Microsoft

Let’s be honest here, at least like 98% of the popular OSS is on GitHub at this point. You don’t have to like it, but it’s how things are

Wow that actually sounds really helpful. Didn’t know you could do that. As always, best content in the comments

Forgejo uses SQlite

That’s a red flag

I don’t want to know how many rushed games so stuff like this

at 93

I mean nice, but anyone with half a brain will take a look at the code and decide for their own if they’re a decent coder

Also there’s star graphs over time that show the growth of a project

The security of HTTPs relies on public key certificates.

I recommend reading up on it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS#Overview

Especially the part after this segment:

Web browsers know how to trust HTTPS websites based on certificate authorities that come pre-installed in their software.

I wish it had feature parity with pylint already. I know they’re working on it, but it’s not quite there

They have lots of awesome extra features though like built in pyupgrade, formatting etc

Imo once they get into stable territory it will be the one stop shop for Python linting

You are most certainly correct

“What every developer needs to know about X” is just the best way to get clicks these days

It’s called a programming language for a reason

As a professional software engineer, the number of times I actually have to use math skills is pretty low

Even when I worked on a statistical application for lifetime prediction, most of the work wasn’t figuring out the correct math

What’s leagues more important here is conceptual thinking and being able to model complex human-made constructs in your head

God forbid you actually help out with the software you’re using at absolutely no cost to you.
