This code is very bad, tell why

Is this fact that we can do this in C/C++ good or bad? I find it very cool but at the same time it is doing so much in one line which seems very unreadable if it was part of production codebase

People making CSS videos have my maximum respect They are the true example of loyalty

Experimenting sometimes can be so irritating because it's just like why won't this thing work and no one will tell you because you are the first one doing it

First is using bash in vs code, second is using powershell in vs code For both I ran using the command node --experimental-strip-types, yet I got different results, why? @nodejs.org @mrpowershell.bsky.social Testing ANSI sequences

Sum of digits is such a commonly used technique that I feel languages should have an inbuilt function to get that

Old software innovations: LSP, so you can focus on writing code not the boiler plate IDE, don't worry about setting stuff up, just focus on working New software innovations: AI writes the code, you debug it, you review it, you fix it, do all the boring things

Try this

Everyone programming language community has some lunatics that believe that their language has no flaws Once I asked what is the special feature of Java and a person said 'community' That's not a feature of the language, but he didn't back down

Every language has a purpose and the only reason to use a language for something is 'I want to' or 'it has more tools for this purpose', anything other than that is trash, every language can virtually do everything nowadays

I have started finding books on topics I really want to explore for free and I think I am now in idea hell Gotta organize, make some plan

I don't know if this'll ever happen but if you make write an educational book, after you recover x (some number > 5) times the cost of producing it, Make it free online Still keep a price for offline and the option to pay extra

Reference Manuals aren't that bad if you really resist the urge to use AI anytime you can't understand any trivial thing and read again or just write out some code This advice is not for beginners though

Idea: Sites should read the URL you are on and suggest you the URL you probably wanted Like if I am on leetcode.com/problemsset It should have an error page that suggests that I probably wanted leetcode.com/problemset Just a good experience thing

For some time now I think I'm starting to like open source tools more Just something about them, the fact that I know if I wanted I could change them internally makes it very comfortable for me

I save OpenAI millions by not saying please and thank you Doing my part for the better future

I can't code DSA problems in Typescript and I can't code web dev in C++ The world will say this is completely fine I don't think it is Gonna focus on covering this vulnerability Also, gonna ship some stuff soon, was busy and got disrupted

I used to star the github repos that contained some information and I had to study them for later read Lately with all that's going on I just fork them You never know which resource will vanish in the thin air because of some random drama

A language's strength is inversely proportional to the number of undefined behaviours possible with it

"A person might turn to me and say you're blind, you have special needs. No, you have special needs, you need light to read, I don't need light to read" It's all about perspective youtu.be/TtJqfmT-r9o

There is a certain level of being a developer where you realise every product is bad Like every product has some cons that you feel a lot of and it's either balance pros and cons or make your own

Nvim seems to have increased my typing speed

I am trying to help someone fix an error with package installation This is what has happened Mind you I had the same error and I fixed mine in 1 min, by just reading what the error was on vercel deployment and then what the error was on package manager

Idiots spread fears Wise spread facts

I need APIs for my social media, just so that when I come just to post, I don't have to open the application and wait for it to load and then wait for it to send before I can close the application Just give me an API, I'll make my own UI and upload so much stuff

I can finally fix some issues without needing AI And that is a superpower, that is so good for productivity, that is just pure fun

Thanks to @t3.gg I am finally throwing errors

I swear to god, Neovim has engraved in my brain that there is always supposed to be a normal mode and an insert mode so that when I don't want to type I can just use every key for something more than just typing stuff and I don't have to do 'ctrl/shift/alt + ' shenanigans

Open source makes you better at reading docs, navigating through codebase, writing your own code And I'm not even talking about contributing to it, I'm just talking about using it

I'm an engineer I'll automate everything to its extreme

If you are doing coding just for the money and don't actually have an interest, you can try for a few months (~6) but then immediately change your career if you haven't found it interesting Money can't resolve the depression you'll fall into if you aren't interested

Simple analogy If I get a mechanic to fix my car, how will I know if the car is fixed when I don't even know how to drive it? If you don't know how to do something, how do you know AI did it well? (Saying AI for the masses when it's actually LLM)

Nvim is starting to make me feel that autosave is not a good feature actually I'm still half and half on it Any thoughts?

The real realisation in tech is, nothing just works, everything is made to work a specific way Learn what is that way or accept that someone who knows it may take your job some day

Why open source tools are always better especially when they can be configured You can have a fully operational, OS, IDE, whatever which no one else but only you can use Because of which, you can literally leave something open and not care because no one can use your system

While everyone is knees deep in AI hype This is what's changing our lives www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Have you ever done anything other than git add . I don't think anyone has ever not used '.' Unless, they are just learning to use git
