I heard about these really cools guys that work at a place called “Bell Labs”, apparently they have a computer division. They have this programming language called C that’s really cool, it’s cross platform so it’ll run on a PDP-7 and PDP-11. They have this new opeating system, get this, written in C, not assembly, called Unix.

They get all their socks from some lady named Christine Jorgenson, I don't know what that signifies but probably nothing bad.

Nobody writes code anymore. Everyone provides suggestions to random number generators which combine fragments of code from unknown sources based on those suggestions. Sometimes the resulting code sludge does what you wanted it to; if it doesn't, you offer more suggestions to the RNG until it does. Nobody really understands how all of this works but we're reorienting large parts of the industry and broader economy around it.

I hear the hip new cool thing to make the tech lead like you is to take whatever task you have assigned on Monday, feed it into these new cool things called an "Agent" with confidential internal documents, then shit the output into a code review without reading it. If your coworkers call you out on it I have it on good authority that any variation of the following is a get out of jail free card:

"Sirs, you are not be prompting in correctness, ensure please you are prompting effectively for maximum effort."

I am going to use this to tackle one of the oldest fossilized project modernization. How fucked I am?

Jokes aside those are actually pretty chill projects to work on because everything's already defined. There's no going back-and-forth with things like "what should happen in this extremely specific edge case which you might think will never happen but I know if we don't address it now I'm going to be getting a desperate call at 3:00 AM about it?" You just do whatever the existing project does.

Assuming you have access to the original project's code, anyway.
 
learning good architecture is fun because every week it makes me feel like i was a retard who did not appreciate the true value of design principles a week ago, and a week hence i will believe myself now to have also been a retard who does not appreciate the true value of design principles

it's retards all the way down
 
I don't know if I'm posting in the right place but am I the only dumb fucking faggot that can't for the life of me figure out how github works? I have a group assignment and one of the guys wants us to share what we are doing on github. Dude I'm already having a hard time doing the actual questions why are you asking us to do this when we could share a txt file with eachother and the result would be the same.

I should point out that I'm not a CS student so...

Githubs not the same as git. I think you can do everything on the website, just create a repo and add a file, if you're intimidated by the the commands
 
Github is the most popular Git hoster.

Think of Github like Outlook and email, most people use Microsoft's outlook as an email hoster, but there are plenty of other services hosting it, or you can host your own pretty easily.
 
If you just want to share files, limewire is a favorite of the forum

Oooh, so I can just go on the website and upload the .py file I want them to check? And that's it? Damn I just installed git and was torturing chatgpt to tell me what to do lol.

Though I should probably learn the commands, it will be useful in the future...

i really like the joke "the difference between git and github is like the difference between porn and pornhub"
