Other people follow rules. I follow results

just spent a 40 minute call helping a junior dev and it turned out his code didn’t work because he copied nonsense he didn’t understand from chatGPT 💀 i told him what to remove to fix it and he said “but chatGPT said i need it there”

I just binge watched lil’ pootis by @quazies and am now tempted to make them Roblox rigs so that I can animate them

should I do it?

When you spend 20 years attempting to bring down the child slavery, murdering, human trafficking exploitation ring that stole your childhood, murdered your friends, and killed countless innocents only to have them rebrand as 'Noble Freedom Fighters™' off-screen.

I’m annoyed today.. I have to do a basic lift and shift of all the common library interfaces stored in frontends because someone thought it was good to copy pasta away everything as we go into every single frontend sooo we need another spot for all of that to handle, as is obvious, deprecation, new endpoints, modifications to handle validation and error and bugs etc.. but in the process am finding a lot of boiler plate code which is just like veryyyyy obvious everyone came from a Java background switched to web and didn’t once bat an eye. We have a billion getters and setters, we have no type aliases or other items which are strategically created for Typescript so that you do not need to define a class to use for simple items like in this situation a matrix which is now an internal class which supports getting elements... WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THIS CODE??? You can literally define this with an array of arrays or I guess some call this a “jagged array” but because JS says and is written in all things “Functions serve as a first class citizen” you never really need a class.. not really, not unless it entirely makes sense whereas in a lot of old coding languages like say Java or C++ you do need a namespace and and that namespace does define classes and objects usually first and then those objects hold actions, Javascript can instead behave more often as first methods that then act on many things.. this creates less bloat and code boilerplate and often is one of many reasons people say they hate web coming from OOP driven design but truly it is just different and everyone’s hateful and I am going a bit insane because I am doing what is an inherently wrong bad practice like I feel itchy all over doing it but if I do it the right way, it will never be complete.. it’s too big, so I gotta first chop off my leg to save my face or whatever then repair everything best I can but I am making the problem worse because I have to move all the unnecessary typings and objects and constructors to a third place and then try and find a way to fix that and I guess.. Idk I wanted to vent, but I also wanted to just sorta rubber ducky and console myself in the process..

🐎 the trail that leads me to you 🐎

vis dev for Cardine's western AU (it's like~ Oregon Trail but make it jayvik!) that i was so kindly commissioned to do artwork for. <3 i am very, VERY excited to have a good excuse to draw horses! <3 <3 <3

i've already read the first 40 chapters and have so many parts i want to draw that it'll be hard to pick which to do first! hahaha! if you like cowboy shit, angst, and AUs that make use of the majority of the cast i'd definitely recommend it!!!

(bonus: more cowboy!jayvik art >here< now! and also >here< <3)

Clinical Trial literally has EVERYTHING I like/fw

• neurodivergent, minimum-wage job having, NONBINARY mc

• yandere man love interest that absolutely fucking adores them

• accurate depictions of neurodiversity and nonbinary experiences

spoilers below for more

• they do cute fucking domestic shit together

• infodumping from both parties, especially about art history and bugs

• …….the shrine

• yandere love interest kills someone who hurt mc

• yandere love interest affirms mc’s gender even though they’re out to like barely anyone (there’s also this whole dialogue where he and mc get on the topic of angels and how they shouldn’t look like people and should instead be hard to behold by the human eye and then in the good ending he says “just like an actual angel” because mc accepts him and his feelings) (also the whole part at the end where he deduces their gender from all of these things he’s noticed. HE!!! SEES!!!! THEM!!!!!!)

AAAAUGHGUHGHG ITS SO GOODDDDDDDD

Fullstack means they can do both top and bottom surgery

finally, a job for me!

I've been an amateur gender analyst for years, I'd love to be able to get paid for it

lowkey funniest part of rebirth is when cloud dissociates BIG time while the costa del amor girls are making their pitch

[anonymusical]

working with brand new junior devs and i'm like i need to be patient because i KNOW i used to be so much worse than this but MAN i feel my blood pressure rising when i'm giving very slow step by step instructions and she still can't figure out how to open the terminal

[bunnieswithknives]

Thank you for speaking up.

Fans have absolutely no idea of the struggle that goes into working on a project you love in the video game industry. How much heart, effort and mental health goes into developing a game. There is no excuse under the sun for this behaviour, I just wish there was a way to hold these people accountable.

Such a specific and funny point of commonality for these two
