It occurs to me that the solution might be to start referring to men as "wermen" again, and revert "men" to it's gender neutral roots. That also means we can have a bunch of other prefixes for other genders.

Languages are fun.

This. Check out the "Psychological horror" tag for some excellent examples of trolltagging.

In high school, me and my fellow outcast friends made our own slang. The idea what to make it so mind numbingly cringe that even using our slang to mock us would be social suicide for the cool kids. I don't know if that last part worked, but we were pretty damn cringe.

I'd give examples, but it's all in Norwegian, and incredibly cringe.

In a 1000 years, the robots that take over after us will think this is really funny.

This is why I think school and interviews are like a whole different universe from the one where actual work gets done.

...well, I do that, and enjoy it, so I guess that's why I feel like an impostor that has my hobby for a job. "If they figure out how much I enjoy doing this, they'll cut my pay..."

There is a "Not from a Jedi" joke in here somewhere. I can feel it.

The comments are not for what, they are for why.

The documentation is a summary of the code, a quick guide to the software to more easily find your way to what you need to work with.

Are you saying that when you work with some random library, you skip their documentation and go directly to the source code? That's absurd. If you do it that way, you're wasting so much time!

It's just some Sales Optimization Consultant trying to justify their existence. Leave them be, they have their own problems.

Hah, that's part of what I want to do with z0rz.net

Makes me want to learn how to say "Go fuck yourself" in a Native American language.

I find it kinda odd that github.com/gorilla/websocket, which is deprecated and the repo is in archive mode, is still the most popular library for websockets.

Case in point: go.elara.ws/go-lemmy

I'm not saying this is inherently bad, I just wonder why that is.

I guess the most common last words are "How hard could it be?", but why is nobody rolling their own?

One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don't do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called "karma"

In moving on from Reddit, I'm burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?
