@the_codewala Can I grep your root? I'd love to fsck it.

Write something which only Linux users can understand.

@Rapunzel_hnn My computer class was me showing the teacher how to code. Sigh.

Who remembers when computer class was mostly learning how to type?

@Zinny_Edmund Senior Devs will not use ternaries.

Which one are you?

@code_bytein Come on. What's the worst that could happen?

SQL injection is a 25-year-old vulnerability. It still tops security breach reports every year. Not because developers don't know about it. Because string concatenation in queries still feels easier. "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " + userInput One line. One breach. Always use parameterized queries. Never trust user input. Ever.

@rxhit05 $ chmod 770 yousuck.txt

Why do Linux users act like they're intellectually superior to everyone else? Bro your OS still breaks because you updated it.

@Zinny_Edmund Because people are not much better than sheep.

Has anyone ever wondered why Python became the go-to language for building AI systems?

@siya_twt_ Don't. If you're not smart enough to switch by yourself we don't want you over here.

Windows user here , Give me one reason to switch to Linux

@Thebiglade No! Esperanto!!!

One language you wish you could speak fluently??

@Thebiglade Klingon

@brockpierson Lol. Did you ever search using astalavista?

Did you ever search using Altavista yourself?

@Thebiglade Dayz.

If you had to play one video game for 12 hours a day for an entire year to earn $10M, which game are you choosing??

@code_bytein That's a stupid problem. Do as I do: on every cache request I also do a real database request and compare both! The most recent value wins! Sheesh! Why make it complicated?!?!?

Adding a cache feels like a free win. It's not. The moment you cache data, you've created two sources of truth: The database. And the cache. They will disagree eventually. A write happens. The cache doesn't know yet. A user sees stale data. This is called cache invalidation. It's famously one of the hardest problems in computer science. Caching isn't just "store and serve." It's "store, serve, and constantly ask: is this still true?"

@komal_uk01 This. $ telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

I’m a Windows user, just installed Linux for the first time What should I do first?

@Dhruvam987 Postman is worth 5.6 billion. For something I coded for myself decades ago. I'm an idiot.

GitHub is a billion dollar company??????????? A billion dollars????? For basically... Storing code in folders????????

@superlazy888 @javarevisited +1

@javarevisited No context. So nothing us wrong

Interviewer: What’s wrong with this query? SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = 'shipped' OR status = 'delivered' AND payment_status = 'paid';

@javarevisited Also wildcards are bad form.

@javarevisited It's impossible to know if it has anything wrong with it unless I'm also shown the requirements and acceptance criteria. Who am I to say that is not the actual requested behaviour?

@sant3834_kumar People are sheep and like shiny things and prefer form over function.

If Linux is so powerful… why do most developers still use macOS?

@_devdeep That's a lie. I haven't used it today.

Software engineers: Git was named after an insult. 🤔 "Git" is British slang for a stupid, unpleasant person. In 2005, Linus Torvalds built the first version in days and joked: "I'm an egotistical bastard. First Linux, now Git." Twenty years later, the joke stuck. ~95% of developers use it every day.

@Pallavi_345 Pornhub?

Imagine waking up tomorrow and Linux no longer exists. What breaks first?
