Interestingly, the earliest example of this meme listed on Know Your Meme is “junior react developer”, “senior react developer”. So this meme seems to have come full circle.
You forgot the part where you step on the rake in different ways to see which one whacks you in the face the fastest.
That’s just doing science at that point.
I’m currently prototyping a macro to help reduce boilerplate, as part of a more general library. And I’m doing some wild shit, like defining the fields of a data type from the parameter list of a function.
But then, yeah, what I’m now stuck on is that my generated code references a data type under one name, but it’s actually got a different name in the public API. All the wild shit was smooth sailing, but a technicality now fucks me over. 🫠
As someone who’s been trying to learn Python recently, this resonates with me. I am glad I will always fuck it up.
BTW you missed a colon at the end of your if statement on line 341. Also you used irregular whitespace on another line, but I’ll let you find that one yourself, as a treat.
Btw your import imports an import causing a cyclic dependency. Good luck <3
I had that one recently! Took me for ever to find it…
those colons piss me off so much. they are so useless. I hate them
I love them. I love python. I love you.
I’ve so far avoided using LLMs unless I need something explicitly explained. I don’t know enough to be able to verify any code it would produce, so I don’t know what the hell these vibe coders are doing.
But I’m also a little long in the tooth to be starting this, so maybe that’s part of my problem.
Based to reject vibe coding. Similar to “why learn math when we got calculators”.
I am aware of what I don’t know, and having something which hallucinates produce something I want to use seems silly. I wouldn’t be able to verify it independently because I’m not smart enough. It just seems like asking for trouble. Like I would ask the thing which gave me broken code in the first place to fix it? Smort.
Transcription
The stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.
The man stepping on a rake is captioned “programming for the first time”.
The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned “programming for the hundredth time”.
I’m not sure how well this works, I upvote the effort, but for someone who’s eye deprived, they’d have to click on the post, and then have their screen reader read through all the comments, before they get to your one describing what’s even going on.
Honestly I would love to know what the % of people who take part in piefed.social use screen readers. It has to be in the 0.2% percentile, and that’s conservative I think.
Yeah, it’s much, much better if OPs provide their own transcription. It’s much easier to see that way. Mastodon and Pixelfed both basically yell at you if you don’t do it, and it’s a shame that Lemmy isn’t the same.
For small transcriptions, there’s an “alt text” field in the post itself, and for longer ones, they can be placed into the body of the post.
Maybe they can search the comments for “transcription”?
I think the idea is that this might get upvoted a lot and turns out to be the first comment under this post.
Also it’s copy-pastable for OP.
My ideal hope is that by modelling good behaviour, I can encourage more OPs to provide transcriptions themselves in the body or the alt-text field.
If OPs take my transcriptions and edit it into the body, that’s pretty good too. Especially if more people take up the work so transcriptions get posted on posts that I don’t do myself.
The algorithm is far too fickle for me to have even considered my comment getting upvoted to the top. Good if it happens I guess, but not in my consideration.
As someone who has been coding for over 40 years, this is so true.
Every time there’s a new site with programmer humor… 2 good jokes, then it’s just a bot spamming the same dead ass memes.
I feel like that about life in general.
Skill issue, git guud /s
I just use AI!
It solves so many problems.
And introduced so many more.
But it solves them too.
And so on.
Had me in the first half.
Exactly.
