I dont think it did enough to make me hate corporations

Counterpoint: Biotechnica. Those bastards are almost as bad as scavs. Some of them are worse.

Also, maybe it looks normal for Americans, but what Militech are doing in the badlands definitely ain't right. (Phantom Liberty kind of ruins it by treating Militech's puppet president like one of the good guys, though. Night City ain't part of the NUSA, and it doesn't want to be!)

And, besides all the relic stuff, Saburo was also seriously considering nuking Night City (properly, not like Silverhand's half assed job), so there's that, too.

Eh, I see those as cleaning my town.

If the NCPD wants to pay me for my trouble, fair enough, been paid by far worse, though I'd probably be doing it for free anyway, especially scavs, wraiths, tigers, Biotechnica, and scavs. The rest are mainly just gonks, so I usually just beat 'em up instead of slicing and dicing them.

There's also that cop you have to get rid of to help some corrupt cops she's been getting in the way of.

You can either kill her, helping said corrupt cops, or warn her to leave town, thus helping her (to stay alive, at least, though obviously not to do her job).

Either way you're helping cops, but the NCPD looks like trash (which can also be said for River's storyline), so there's that, at least.

Lisp?

a sane language

JavaScript

Pick one.

Hades didn't really seem like my kind of game, so I torrented it to try it out. Then I bought it, and later Hades 2, too.

I've also bought some comics I'd previously read on the computer, too, if they were good enough and I've come across a nice edition.

Thinking about C# and Dapper here 'cause they're what I'm used to, but, for example...

result = await connection.QueryAsync<ResultType>(QUERY); (where ResultType is a statically typed record, class, or struct shaped like the data you want returned.)

Given a query that doesn't return something that matches any of ResultType's constructors, the code'll throw an exception at runtime complaining it needs a constructor that matches whatever it's returning, whereupon you'll notice it isn't asking for it to have a date parameter, so the query must not be returning it.

That's when rubber duck debugging comes in handy.

first time you use it the language automatically makes the variable and default value

Now, that's just evil. 😨

The difference between experienced devs and non experienced devs is that when seeing "the experience that made me hate programming" and "date" in the same post experienced devs just stop reading (mostly due to the PTSD hit) and assume it must have been some date format issue or shudder timezone shenanigans between the database and the programming language...
