programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

Maybe there wouldn't be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY "powerwolf112", who hasn't answered a single message in GitHub since 2021????

For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

found this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance

I am not 100% convinced that this is satire...
Gumbies isn't real... Right?

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Wdym? Gumbies is a must-have for any competent Summit developer these days!

I'd say God isn't that cruel, but

I experienced a new hell today

The whole of the documentation was in video format and you had to accept all cookies to play the videos

At least with GUMBIES not having documentation there is a wide thread of people asking questions on third party sites

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

This was legitimately part of the reason I went with Laminas instead of Laravel for a project. I really don't want critical documentation to be in video form.

By the end of the post chain, I could no longer tell if this was a joke or not.

Wait a second... Is that a Mastodon screenshot on a Tumblr blog?!?

Quick! Screenshot it here and post it on Facebook! The cycle must continue!

Since this was originally a Mastodon post, here it is :)

It's fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah usually we just go from Tumblr to Fedi. This is kinda interesting.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Turns out the content holds the value, and the hosting platform is a mostly replaceable and interchangeable delivery mechanism. Who would've thunk?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

I had no idea that Tumblr was active again? I thought all Tumblr posts from the past 5 years were just recycled old stuff.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is the fediverse starting to get rolled into the mainstream content farm. Might help our cause and get more people on the bandwagon.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.

Literally Plato's Cave.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks everyone, I figured it out.

Alternatively: "Never mind, I figured it out"

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I won't lie, but content like this is what I love on programmerhumor.

Also just use the (inferior) open source version of GUMBIES called GRUMBOSS. It's way better!

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Gumboss doesn't work with the new version of .net and no merge requests have been accepted in like 8 months so you have to manually patch each instance of it yourself to get it work.

There's a script you can download to do this automatically and it works a good 70% of the time!

[–] s12@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

The recent regulation changes at the end of February kinda killed GRUMBOSS though.

Good luck with that. Nintendo just sued GRUMBOSS for $2.4M and shut the project down.
