Recursion is a mental illness. You want to do WHAT to my call stack?? How do people think it's natural to put a thing inside itself? Literally makes me sick just thinking about it

Really excited about "scripts"! 🤔 They are a kind of agentic AI model that autonomously interacts with your computer by using "statements" generated through a developer-machine interface. 😲 This is some seriously disruptive stuff and really shoes how much AI is changing the scene! 😳

Sometimes I like to write an #undef for a macro that was never defined in the first place, usually in the middle of a file. Keeps the maintainers on their toes

this is because people are stored in a ring buffer. its a posix compatibility thing
if you ever think you are going through life as a unique individual with specific life experiences and interests you are wrong you dumb mother fucker. there are only 400 people and we just repeat across the world with different accents and bone structure.

The amateurs in the python steering council are fine with adding useless language features like "t-strings" or "r-strings" (???) but won't even acknowledge my ꙮ-string PEP. I'm fucking done

That Turing guy clearly didn't know what he was taking about cause you can just do scan-build gcc main.c to check if a program will halt

A n executable is just aaaaaa. A function that takes an string and returns a char. And sometimes turns off your computer .

Tip: put all your includes in include.h and then #include in every file.this adheres to DRY and will have no negative consequences

Technically a Caesar cipher is military-grade encryption. They don’t mention *which* military
so many companies today use "military grade" as an adjective for random stuff
"military grade encryption" and it's just aes-128

There are as many real programming languages as there are genders: one
My game engine is written in and will only support the one real programming language @c-official.bsky.social. Namespaces? I can name a space, it’s called scope_function. Function overloads? More like overload this codebase with bloat. Classes? How about you go take a class on real programming.
