Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
I've been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.
If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I'd have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.
I'll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.
I have nominated you to the who's who in america award
It's time for chbottomt and clbottom to finally become valid HTML statements.
Fucking Scunthorpes!
clbottomt when the chtopt shows up [imagine this as that popular GIF meme]
Wow they really went into their stupid useless plan in the most ham-fisted way
I had a Pycharm linter with "inconsiderate writing list" flag my use of "bi" as inappropriate, recommending to use "bisexual" instead. In my data job, BI, means business intelligence, it's everywhere.
I'm confused how bi is inappropriate
Gotta love Microsoft Power Bisexual
How is that inconsiderate? That's just informal
(Using "bi" to mean "bisexual", I mean, not "business intelligence" lol)
No, it's right.
Business intelligence is inconsiderate and must be stopped!
The ol' master/ slave configuration again....
At least for that we have replacement names that make sense (like primary and secondary or replica).
Must be a TikTok influencer
Tangentially related rant: We had a new contributor open up a pull request today and I gave their changes an initial look to make sure no malicious code is included.
I couldn't see anything wrong with it. The PR was certainly a bit short, but the task they tackled was pretty much a matter of either it works or it doesn't. And I figured, if they open a PR, they'll have a working solution.
...well, I tell the CI/CD runner to get going and it immediately runs into a compile error. Not an exotic compile error, the person who submitted the PR had never even tried to compile it.
Then it dawned on me. They had included a link to a GitHub Copilot workspace, supposedly just for context.
In reality, they had asked the dumbass LLM to do the change described in the ticket and figured, it would produce a working PR right off the bat. No need to even check it, just let the maintainer do the validation.
In an attempt to give them constructive feedback, I tried to figure out, if this GitHub Copilot workspace thingamabob had a Compile-button that they just forgot to click, so I actually watched Microsoft's ad video for it.
And sure enough, I saw right then and there, who really was at fault for this abomination of a PR.
The ad showed exactly that. Just chat a bit with the LLM and then directly create a PR. Which, yes, there is a theoretical chance of this possibly making sense, like when rewording the documentation. But for any actual code changes? Fuck no.
So, most sincerely: Fuck you, Microsoft.
dude. i feel that pain.
i got a dev fired because they absolutely refused to test their changes before submitting.
I'm not talking once or twice either. at least a year of that bullshit. i had to show my boss how many hours of wasted time it was taking me because I look at the code first, like literally anybody. Eventually boss pipd them and fired them but holy fuck i wanted to kick that douche in the groin every time i saw a pr with their name on it.
next place I work I'm insisting on a build step success to assign a pr.
Surely you have to blame the idiot human here who actually has the ability to reason (in theory)
You think the decision to build this bot like that was not made by a human? Its idiot humans all the way down.
We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.
there's a very trivial solution that always works actually, it's called "stop being a prude"
Holy shit, 10,000 commits because each change was individual (I'm assuming automated).
oh god
yeah, no. haha
Those commit messages though 🤣
They automated randomization of the commit messages? Wtf?
Gotta appreciate the level of commitment on this commit...
lol😁
And they're all with different commit message:
"switched arse to bottom to create a more uplifting vibe"
"took arse out and put bottom in to keep my language warm and friendly"
"thought bottom would sound a lot nicer than arse, so I used it"
And so on..
It’s a clbuttic mistake.
I am in doubt. That wouldn't even compile. But who am I to think somebody changing something like this would actually do a test compilation afterwards....
HTML isn't compiled, and unknown attributes are allowed. The best practice is to prefix non-standard attributes with data- (e.g. <div data-foo="test">) but nothing enforces that. Custom attributes can be retrieved in JavaScript or targeted in CSS rules.
