If you're worried about people remembering every embarrassing thing you did, think about it. Can you remember other people's embarrassing moments? No. That's because you're the only one who's ever done something embarrassing. What the fuck is wrong with you lmao

"vibe coding" needs a direct competitor. I propose "woe coding", which involves locking a fresh CS student in a room with a ThinkPad older than me until they write a web application in ANSI C89 using ed(1)

Program crashing unexpectedly?

Too many error cases to track?

Just } catch (Exception x) {}.

No warning messages. All exceptions handled. Clean console. Users will just break it anyway, why bother?

You will certainly not regret } catch (Exception x) {}.

this is one of the first songs I remember hearing as a kid. I'm pretty sure it was on some mix CD my parents kept around

I'd never actually payed attention to the lyrics or watched the video, and uh, holy shit lmao

Box with text!!

(it's not all that impressive, but it took me more hours than I care to admit to figure out how to draw the 9-slice, so it feels like A Major Accomplishment™)

time to go play Cyberpunk 2077 and aim the computer's exhaust back toward me

(kind of joking, but the building heat *is* genuinely struggling to keep up today)

I wouldn't normally put this here, but it started as a post and then just got a little... overgrown

I wanted to learn how to use Dear ImGui, so uh, here's a random (and almost entirely useless) debug UI thing for the little game framework I'm working on
January 8, 2025 at 3:44 AM
goals for 2025:
- get my current doomed game idea to the point of "playable demo" by the end of the year
- try to learn to draw more than stick figures

I'm not sure how either of those will go, but I'll (hopefully) at least try!

mmm, yes, I sure would love *a carbide drill bit* to go with my microphone and pack of pencils

thank you Amazon, you make about as much sense as I do

NO, AMAZON, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!

I guess I'll just have to try to be patient... I'm very bad at being patient...

(I'm way too excited about this book)
