Programmer Humor

The billionaire tech bros are making money hand over fist without the need for advertisers subsidizing them, and interrupting users all over the world. Little secret...the users know products exist and will go out and seek those products when it is necessary to do so. This activity leads to learning about more products through the ancient art of "browsing".

if you're making a user-facing program, you should always design with the possibility that it will be run on some truly dogshit hardware and you should make sure that they still have a good experience. good computer hardware is a luxury on the world scale, even before the rampocalypse

related, but the answer to the question "who still uses {x} these days?" is almost always way, wayyyy more people than you think

Java Is actually good for what it does, maintain long term systems that only need updating every once in a while

That putting more and more cutting edge technology in our daily computing, that can only be manufactured by a few multi-trilion-dollar-fabs, is a good thing. Not in a politically unstable world like we currently have. And this will not get better the next 50 years, with climate change. Our computing is good enough, we should focus on making it more accessible.

useState worse than useEffect? I'm not much of a React expert, but I understand useState. useEffect mostly seems to be an excuse for the most horrific spaghetti code since before the abolition of goto.

Functional is better than object orientated programming

clang format only serves to make code unreadable.

Looks like this person hasn't seen how badly some people will format their additions to a codebase.

But yeah, it does serve as a good way to get rid of multiple break-times every time an update is required.

PHP sucks and every attempt at defending it is pathetic.

I get warm and fuzzy feelings that people here are not even talking about it. Perhaps I should follow that trend.

JavaScript is a chaos gremlin but it's MY chaos gremlin and I wouldn't change it for the world

Sometimes we have to use them, but Java and C# sucks hard as languages.
