@12bitfloat Yeah this is one of those Americanisms I don't understand, and I don't care. You don't seem to grasp the fact that I feel the same way about your foreign political opinions as you likely do about spam. To me they hold about the same amount of value too.

Spammers get banned despite all the "free speech" but somehow your irrelevant shit holds the right to some fundamental law of the universe that it must be protected. Get over yourself.

@12bitfloat ? Mate I'm a fucking aussie and literally everywhere it's far-left vs far-right Yanks throwing shade at each other. Why do I have to read the same shit over and over despite it allegedly being against the rules? You're all the same to me, far-left far-right same shit fundamentalists with ZERO chance of ever accepting anything the other side says. I come here for the topic of programming/computer-related shit. But no you come to drag your countries dirty laundry out and shove it in my face. Pompous asshat.

@12bitfloat What are you challenging exactly?

@Stuxnet posts aren't hidden just cause you downvote? wtf you talking about?

You realise this is the complete opposite of many peoples new-year resolution lol.

@HiFiWiFiSciFi he's not asking for help debugging mate.

I challenge you to post an actual rant, instead of low-effort memes.

Also using FiraCode, since I switched to ligatures I can't go back.

@stackodev What would you do instead?

Is it your job you hate or coding itself?

There's plenty of tools that can help you out.
From what I can tell, you have your shopping list of things that need to be done and just need to structure it.

The most visually helpful is generally a Gantt Chart.
There's a few free tools to create Gantt charts. I use MS Project which is not free, but most follow the same process.

1. Define project requirements in a separate document
2. Create a work breakdown structure in your software
3. Assign predecessors and successors
4. Estimate times
5. Track your progress

It's 2021 here.

Hopefully this year will have less bugs :)

Github project -> Zulip chat -> Discord friends.

@Fast-Nop Do you know who you always remind me of?

@NoMad Lacuna Coil would fit nicely in that list.

One day I'll clear Temp files and my notepad++ new1-new45 will be lost to history.

@mundo03
I'm lazy the less I need to think about the more I can focus on just getting it done.

I like having quality of life features like autocomplete, build configuration dropdown, auto-indents, structure viewer, split-screen, one-click version control, diff viewer, autosave, code analysis, plugins for markdown etc.

VScode is just a clunky text editor with a laggy terminal and some of these things are sort of working. So for that reason it's marginally better than notepad (my only other option at work).

@mundo03 any IntelliJ IDE with the rust plugin.

@Marl3x I'm consolidating many python, Fortran, and Excel/VBA Structural/Mechnical Engineering tools into one application.
Currently experimenting with GUI frameworks that are being developed (namely; Conrod, Druid, and Iced).

Someone once bought me a katana, I ended up donating it to a kendo club. It's a glorified poster.
Just pawn it off and use the money to help fund a cool robotics project.

@Lensflare @junon my last job and current job came about because of linkedin recruiters. Regardless of how small the chance of getting a job on the platform, no-chance is still worse.

@donuts Estimated my income at less than half what it is, apparently I hate pizza and dogs (not true). About the only thing it got right was that I prefer women, and even then it's a 50-50.

Could be the beard though.

It was so wrong it's basically meaningless.

You get 1 downdoot and all of a sudden people are trying to censor your opinion? Bit OTT, I think.

I don't trust people who type in all caps while intentionally misspelling words, but still punctuate the sentence.

You seem like the sort of person who often forgets to flush the toilet but remembers not to leave the seat up.

Pretty sure we all do this 'just to be sure'.

Was the class full? (:

Protip: You can save as a draft in notepad.

@junon You either didn't read my comment or didn't understand it. I think my current understanding is quite sound.

As a side note and to be clear:
I'm not a professional programmer. I'm an engineer, I design tangible things. I do write code in my profession, but only to do my job easier.

I get paid regardless of whether or not my company makes money, and frankly in my previous company, we were never cash-flow positive. So I got paid for providing engineering services, which never made the company any money. If I stopped providing services, I obviously wouldn't make any money from the services I'm not providing.

Given that you're now resorting to passive-aggressive insults, and that you have failed to convince me (and I have been open to being convinced) that professional minecraft players exist (in the same sense that someone would refer to a CD:GO, DOTA, OW professional). I am aware that people make money on youtube. There is no more to be gained from this discussion.
