When I get a call from an unknown number I act the same way I would if a human hand started clawing its way out of my bathtub drain, a mixture of confusion and fear

Just trying to convince myself that I'm not the only coder with years of experience and no repos to show for it..

Hoping this is true

Oh dear... They're realising the emperor has no clothes...

And it's one ugly emperor
The right is getting nervous their followers are realizing they've been lied to.

Currently reading Code Complete by Steve McConnell; what a great book for programming best practices!

Not even ⅒ of the way in and it's already given me some fresh perspectives on some old problems... Definitely give it a read!

Owe someone some money? Give them back more than the original amount, and suddenly they owe you money! Feel free to take their kneecaps at this point, if it feels right...

Currently applying for coding jobs, wondering where I can mention my excellent bowstaff skills. Jobs only want people that have got great skills.

Wondering if anyone else has used this particular method for implementing Interface-like design in the #godotengine... Code the 'interface' as a resource, code the implementations as resources extending this, then create a resource object for use in other code. Pretty neat, I think.

It's crazy that so far on #Bluesky I've encountered exactly one slightly sour individual. Compare that to Bird App, where I'd still be searching for someone who wasn't insane.

The future's looking bright!

Name one thing better than secretly learning Java at work.

I'll wait
