I think the problem is that many introductory examples use unwrap, so many beginner programmers don’t get exposed to alternatives like unwrap_or and the likes.

I’m a OOP programmer.

I wrap everything within Arc<Mutex<>>.

I’m a happy dev.

This is why I rarely use AI for coding. How to put my thoughts into code is not my main concern. My main concern is that another person should understand my thoughts when reading the code.

HL2 still holds up after 10+ playthroughs.

Last time I played it was when the commentary track was added. Played 80% of the game in one sitting because I was so hooked.

That’s how these ”self driving vehicle” companies generally works.

Job description: we’re looking for someone with experience in deploying cutting edge machine learning systems, preferably PhD.

Actual job: Excel spreadsheet

And after all that it is discovered that it was the wrong solution all along because the requirements were poorly specified, so the process must be started all over again

Product Manager: Make a step by step guide of how they think the lightbulb is going to be fixed without explicitly mentioning the broken lightbulb.

They’re throwing stones at people they disagree with

jQuery got popular because Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and other browsers weren’t exactly cross compatible. Writing vanilla JS was risky business in that sense.

It also supported AJAX across all major browsers, which meant the website could make API requests without reloading the entire page. It was super revolutionary to press a button and it only changed a part of the page.

Then Angular and React took it a step forward and that’s where we are now.

JavaScript frameworks are invented because pure HTML and CSS suck for dynamically loaded pages, and vanilla JavaScript suck in general.

What’s not shown is that the car doesn’t have an engine. Management was really eager to release it to the customer. Don’t worry, it’s planned to get fixed later (spoiler: it’s never going to get fixed).

The incredible thing about this chainsaw is that no two people use it the same way. You think you knew most things about the chainsaw until you see someone else use it. They use a completely different technique, holding it in a way you never considered a possibility, and use buttons you didn’t know were even there - let alone what they are for. They’re equally mystified in terror when they see you use the chainsaw.

I was in on the crypto hate. I don’t really have a hate boner for AI.

Sure, there are things to dislike about AI, but it can be moderately useful. In contrast to crypto, AI is the hype because it’s widely used. Crypto was the hype because a few people hit the jackpot.

Yes

Rust and Cargo were built to be in a symbiosis with each other.

NPM is an afterthought of a rushed language.

I believe it’s mostly cultural. Alcoholic beverages are as old as civilization itself. We drink alcohol because that has been the social norm for thousands of years.

But there’s probably something about it being a beverage as well. It goes along well with food because of this, which makes it a tasteful alternative to water.

Then you haven’t seen bad documentation (or had that sex you regret).

From the article:

Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’

The script she signed up for probably didn’t make it to the final movie. The production was likely a poorly coordinated mess with ever changing demands from the higher ups.

There’s also ”we do machine learning”, which usually translates to ”someone trained an SVM model 10 years ago”.
