I knew a kid in high school who’s family had spent some time living in a van. I guess the kid had an ongoing joke that they ended up in the van because his dad refused to learn java. Kinda funny, kinda sad. Couldn’t help but think of that when I saw this.
Been learning to program and I’m refusing to use an lsp for the time being. I’m bad about using abbreviated names when I have to type over and over again(no auto complete). I’m at least using descriptive names for functions I use less than four times.
It’s strangely satisfying when the “this will probably never happen” test case finds a problem during development.
I had tests for deleting that were like
create item a
create item b
delete item a via the code under test
assert item a is gone
assert item b is still there
I thought maybe the whole bit with item b was excessive, but sure enough one day I accidentally fucked something up and deleted all the items, and the test pointed it out before the bad code left my local machine.
Man, I love BIG servers, I hate the power bill that comes with it.
Fine, my broke ass only has the budget for a few tiny computers anyway. I pick up too many hobbies with the excuse that it’s a great skill for future sustainablity like self hosting, programming, 3d printing, and micro soldering.
This has been my only experience as well. Some company I have to work with uses it so I have to use it for their stuff for some reason, unless I can force them to do anything else.
