Scruffy from Futurama

Honestly I feel this so hard. I’m getting increasingly tired of the BS Microsoft is pulling with Windows but at the same time my primary use case is gaming. Gaming on Linux is getting better but I don’t want to do additional work to install and play my games or have any doubt about whether I can run a certain game. Windows, for all its flaws, does meet those requirements.

Watsky!

I have literally never thought about it other than when these types of discussions come up. If I hadn’t been circumcised I would probably think about it the exact same amount

I don’t mind ads as long as they’re not following me around. Show me ads based on the community that I’m browsing or something if you want better targeting

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s Momazon, a company that resembles but is legally distinct from Amazon

I mean, you can add their user agent to the robots file but the crawler could just change their user agent or even ignore the robots file if the server isn’t filtering requests by user agent

That one’s hard for me to read and I’m not even dyslexic!

I blame the rise of frameworks, libraries, and IDEs. It’s easier for someone who knows nothing to throw some software together and ship it.

I very much disagree with this. Yes to an extent you don’t need to know as much as you might have in the past but if we had to constantly reinvent the wheel, I don’t think we would have nearly as many people entering/remaining in this field. Additionally well written frameworks and libraries can actually make your code safer since you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and discover the pitfalls all over again. IDEs are also a net positive IMO. Errors next to the line of code that caused them, breakpoints, interactive debugging. These are all things I personally would find hard to live without. Necessities? Technically no. But good god do I not want to have to read build output unless necessary.

The API is going through code review right now!
