#Programming

[moose-mousse]

Projects are made with goals in mind. Remember this!

IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!

Many hobby projects I do is for fun

For fun

FOR FUN!

So many time I will only do the preliminary research.

Design projects and do a few proofs of concepts

And then drop it and do something else

I stop doing them when they are no longer fun

BECAUSE THE GOAL IS TO HAVE FUN, RELAX AND ENJOY MY HOBBY!

Just did my daily VR workout and my goodness wouldn't it be a shame if someone were to hack my oculus and sneak in some subliminal brainwashing so by the end of my session instead of dripping sweat, I'm dripping from my edged pussy and reciting your new programming?

If I sound like someone you’d wanna be friends with, let’s be mutuals!

THE FIRST VERSION OF THE CODE SHOULD LOOK LIKE CRAP!

PRACTICE WRITING CRAP CODE AND FIXING IT AS A DESIGN METHOD!

IT IS CALLED TEST DRIVEN DESIGN!

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

[mozarting]

This is my problem, I've been programming for nearly four years, yet I don't have a single completed Project that I'd be proud to show.

I start a new project, work on it for a few weeks, and then abandon it. And what follows after that is a months long break from coding, until I begin another new project.

You, hey you. You right there. Amateur developer. Your stuff sucks right now doesn't it? Can't get a single project off the ground because you are still learning and you make a lot of dumb mistakes? And since you naturally want to be a good programmer, you want to start over and do it again but better?

Don't do that.

Whatever you have to do, I am BEGGING you. Finish that first project.

I want you to make it SUCK. I want the code to be a disaster. I want it to have bugs. I want it to have scrapped features that you just couldn't figure out. If you make it simple enough, a project held together with chewed gum and prayers, while not being a good or even competent it will be a finished one.

Why?

Because if you keep improving, but keep starting over. The logical end point is that you will be a good programmer with no finished projects. It's going to take YEARS. And eventually you will struggle to find motivation, burn out hard, take a SEVERAL month long break. Revaluate your whole life. And come to the stunning, crushing, horrifying realization that all those youtubers and influences you have watched that have told you to "start really really small". Were right.

Unfortunately, you are a good enough programmer that starting small isn't fun anymore. And actually FINISHING your first project is going to feel like pulling out your own teeth. And it's going to suck. And you are going to hate it.

And then you are going to attempt to warn others to skip all the hardship, tell them to start small. Start bad. Don't make the same mistake.

And hopefully, HOPEFULLY they will listen and go down the better path.

in the gitted lab. straight up "pushing it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. Bad code

[prokopetz]

I 100% agree with the criticism that the central problem with "AI"/LLM evangelism is that people pushing it fundamentally do not value labour, but I often see it phrased with a caveat that they don't value labour except for writing code, and... like, no, they don't value the labour that goes into writing code, either. Tech grifter CEOs have been trying to get rid of programmers within their organisations for years – long before LLMs were a thing – whether it's through algorithmic approaches, "zero coding" development platforms, or just outsourcing it all to overseas sweatshops. The only reason they haven't succeeded thus far is because every time they try, all of their toys break. They pretend to value programming as labour because it's the one area where they can't feasibly ignore the fact that the outcomes of their "disruption" are uniformly shit, but they'd drop the pretence in a heartbeat if they could.

Programming is so funny. It says

"ERROR: int can not be converted to a string"

And you're just like "oh, okay. *adds ".ToString()" to the end*"

"Alright that's okay ^w^"

Hey, I know we may not know each other but I wish you the best of luck with whatever you have going on. I hope something great happens to you, you deserve it. 💕

So I've been playing this Minecraft server with some friends recently, and one of the mods we have on it is this lil computer mod, with these blocks that serve as LUA environments and can have code run on them right

So I thought it'd be a fun change of pace to not 'join the server' directly at all, and exclusively play through remotely controlling these lil computer blocks via a small websocket server I made- seemed like a unique way to play and I, of course, love robot characters. It's been going well so far! Been really fun

buUUT

I'm sitting here playing with everyone else in the server and people are actively referring to me as a robot/machine/etc and mentioning robotic parts like 'threatening' to hit my power button when getting jokingly mad and discussing my nature as a digital consciousness spread throughout a buncha puters here etc and it's been REALLY fun and

This feels WAY too much like gender euphoria

This has potentially developed into a complicated situation what the fuck do I do

[monaddecepticon]

welcome to static strong typing

int main() { int n = 'x'; bool b = &n + 100; }

okay i got a hello world script open in code::blocks and i am very lost

what does any of that even mean??? the fuck is a cout? what's a namespace? what does int mean in this context if not integer like in python? what is an iostream?
