tbf though, some people just don’t have the way of thinking that a programmer needs
your brain has to be wired in some way that you can understand that computers understand absolutely nothing, don’t respond to please and thank you (a friend of mine has tried that with a bot I made), and need exact instructions that are often case-sensitive and sensitive to pretty much everything
I find that it seems like common sense, but for some it isn’t. So remember, however stupid of a programmer you are, the users tend to be dumber.
I hate project managers like this so fucking much. You won’t know what you’re talking about and your trying to force unrelated shit into design discussions…. Because they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.
A good PM will empower the team but this shit is the exact opposite and I see it all the fucking time. Fuck people like this so much
You can’t even use it without the documentation of the program that you want to install because some dependencies have to be installed manually, and even then there’s a chance of the installation not working because a unit test would fail.
Ok, you are certainly in one of those languages where plenty of your functions shouldn’t return a value, and you won’t ever let the compiler know that.
On all of the other languages, it’s an error, not even a warning.
When writing a small, throwaway project, I stick with theIP, theDir, theVar, etc. More fun that way. This is with shell scripts, btw. I’m sure compiled code would be far more of a mess far quicker doing this.
I had to do some reading about the ‘butlerian jihad’.
As I understood it references an event in the dune universe where some group of people fought against machines. Ultimately it ended with a ban on all kinds of technolgoy.
Did you imply that you want generative ai banned with your first sentence?
