An just 30-something Software Dev that enjoys gaming, woodworking, electronics and plenty of other hobbies. Too many hobbies.
I often use z as a temp variable when i need something to compare to when creating new code but don’t want a separate window to the side or to experiment with something but don’t yet know what the result can or will be. I use z purely just because i know z is very very unlikely to have been used elsewhere, and if for some reason it has, then i just name it ‘zz’.
This is actually temporary by the way. It does not stay in my code. Once I’m done with it, i delete it.
Doesn’t gboard try to promote words you’ve used more prior more often than ones you’ve used less…?
Is that something that’s happening?
I use C#, GitHub and arch…
(I am replacing GitHub once my homelab server is set up though)
It’s often a nightmare when sharing to chat apps to show friends memes etc
I hate having to use js interop for simple stuff like manipulating the history stack or even just saving to the clipboard
I don’t think it saves time. You spend more time trying to explain why it’s wrong and how the llm should take the next approach, at which point it actually would’ve been faster to read documentation and do it yourself. At least then you’ll understand what the code is even further.
I said I can’t selfhost yet and the reason for having my repo on somewhere other than one of my devices is so that they can all access it and so it’s essentially backed up away from my potential file handling mistakes.
Thanks for the source but recommendation though, I’ll look into it.
What’s a good alternative that allows private repos? I’ve not yet got a home lab setup yet but I still have some repos I want to keep private since they’re pretty dogshit so don’t want them to publicly represent me but they still mean something to me personally or are for something to reference when doing newer projects.
Wait… What should I be then with my jelly star? Should i be running the world rather than being a dev?
Is it business critical if it can be done elsewhere for cheaper/free?
I feel like there’s more options to fix things in Linux. On windows it felt someone’s your just got a brick wall with an issue just because Windows want designed around the fix you envisioned.

I think the memory stuff is pretty good nowadays. I’m sure I saw modern C++ can have a garbage collector. And the syntax is only runelike until you learn it, like any language really. As an industry C# developer I’ve recently taken up C++ as a hobby to better learn the workings of low level code and I’ve been enjoying it so far.
Why should no one be using c++?
It might do. I encountered it last week as I needed it for a powershell script. So it exists in that at least
It’s just a way of defining configurations
This is why you have style guides, policies and safeguards, with others checking PRs as they go through to catch this sort of stuff.
Plus I’m not saying everything should be commented. By default things should be explainable through the code and making sure variable and method names are descriptive, along with strong typing if your language has it.
Comments are there for when the code itself is not enough. But you’re right shit always creeps in eventually regardless of the best intentions. Which is why teams need tech debt breaks where no new features are added and they go through the code fixing the niggly things that haven’t been worth fixing whilst doing other features, and ensuring critical sections (the kind that usually have comments on them) are still working as intended and described accurately.

Foreign? For some these languages are native. Foreign is relative.
(I’m just being pedantic, i understand that relatively to you - and me - this is foreign)
