Which Is Honestly Because You Are A Good Programmer

Which is honestly because you are a good programmer

Developers who claim 1 programming language is the best sounds like a craftsman claiming 1 tool is the best.

But when you see that "craftsman" hammer nails in and solder with a saw you realise it is not craftsman... it is just an idiot...

Or when you see your firm having implemented C++ metaprogramming in giant python scripts and yaml files which generate .c files... because they want to only program in C ... I just... I don't... WHY was this ever done???

Right tool for right job. And all tools have flaws and quirks

I love programming but I hate every programming language.

Got an email at work today that my workplace will now allow the use of co-pilot in development.

So I replied and asked what the firms stance is on copyright and licenses when it comes to large language models.

Because if their stance is that running code through a large language model strips copyright and licenses away then they have just given every worker permission to do that to the firms code and sell it to our competitors. Should take me a few hours to write the python file.

OR is their take that the copyright and licenses survive?

Because some of the code used to train co-pilot is under the GNU license meaning any codebase using it must be published as open source under the GNU license.

Either way, the firm is fucked.

I am looking forward to their response

Ooooh! That is a good idea for sharing how you study/work!

I tried filming a study timelapse for the first time!!! I think it came out okay?? Lemme know in the notes :3

Today was actually pretty good. I'm being consistent in my 8-5 sleep schedule, and the mornings are always so peaceful. I've started posting a bit on my studygram too, but really, that's only for trying something new. I'm a Tumblr user through and through :D

I studied OS (operating systems). Pretty interesting so far. We haven't started Computer Networks class yet, and I'm kinda looking forward to it. Hopefully all these theory heavy subjects don't kick my ass (narrows eyes at CA during last semester)

This is... SUCH an accurate way to describe what working with programming is like

And fun fact!

We work very hard to make the computer MORE whiney.

We want it to check EXACTLY what is going on and start crying about very specific things so those errors does not end up in the release!

computer: I can't icanticanticant do it...I need CoolLibrary where's CoolLibrary I can't find it ;m;

me: uh, lemme check..

*rummages through the filesystem*

me: ...aha !! see, we got CoolLibrary right here !

computer: b-but..but it's...it's the nnneeewww CoolLibrary >:c I want the oooolllddddd one !!!!

*me, writing 'old' on a label and sticking it to CoolLibrary*

me: here you go, honey, how's this ?

computer: yippee !!! yaaayyy !!!! ^w^

I said the same thing about companies wanting my gender when I applied to a job.

To my case worker in the unemployment benefit part of the municipality before I found my current job.

She then told me that it was to allow firms gender discriminate, which she thought was perfectly fine...

I... have rarely been that gobsmacket...

I... have to work SO hard to not be sarcastic and mean when I walk through past nutritional subliments or womens bathroom pruducts.

Because there are real knowledge about what works and for what. But that knowledge you have to find by digging in a oceans of wrong facts and misinformation that the pruducts write you you.

AND it's cherry-flavored! 🍒
