aum

@davepl1968 Relatable.

I've been married for 35 years. With autism, no less. 40 years ago, when we met, I had no idea that I had autism, but I knew I was a little different. And I told her that in our relationship, she would have to go first. I have no "game". I don't flirt. I'm not wired for it. My entire reproductive plan was to just be nice and smart and "hang around" until someone "got me". And she did. And 40 years later, it remains true. I am constantly recalibrating my outward emotion and affection up or down to match what I perceive from others. Even if I -feel- more, I ratchet it down. And then when I receive affection or affirmation, it goes up. You might think that cowardly, or self-protective, and maybe it is. But with ASD, you don't have a "natural sense" of how the other person is magically feeling. You have to go by example. And it's very easy to overstep or overreach if you're not careful.

@SpillTheMemes Fr it's cringe

😂

@Math_files This error was due to parallax

@davepl1968 So it's essentially a factory?

Here's a demonstration of when you might actually do this in C, since it would be uncommon, but useful:

@IAmManware Navigating and protecting myself from company management during layoffs (I managed to survive)

What has been the most difficult thing for you recently? For me it was a tricky prod bug

@trashh_dev fr man fr :(

getting ready to start the week at the prompt factory

@IAmManware JEE for real

I think the one where kids die is the harder one

daily reminder that you can respect and even like people you disagree with literally no rules against it

@robinebers Skill issues

why is nobody building a really capable multi-IDE? Zed is the closest, but it's... not that great ACP exists why does Cursor/Windsurf not do this? 🫠

@morgan_greywolf @davepl1968 Which one then?

@_au_m__ @davepl1968 I assure you that neither Dave nor any of his coworkers were using that C++ compiler.

Windows Kernel programming should be done on a NEC 17" FGe, with an 80x25 console window using white text on a blue background. Otherwise, it won't compile.

@dino11 @ThePrimeagen I think it's the latter, that said I am discovering it in systems programming :)

@ThePrimeagen lol "thruster of the board" is the title we all need real talk though - has AI actually killed the joy or just shifted where we find it? feels like we're still figuring that out

Dearest Interns, I wanted to tell you about the Joy of coding is dead and What AI Really Is, Live, like a non coward CEO Yours truly, ThePrimeagen CEO, CFO, CBO, and Thruster of the board.

@CreeCoder You yourself have it... Kinda proves the point

@schteppe I just read C and clicked like... Muscle memory

I refer to C and C++ as “C/C++”. I’m fully aware of the language differences. I just keep writing “C/C++” to get extra engagement.

@itzPankajkoder @IAmManware You didn't get the point. Adaptation is not the same as competence.

@_au_m__ @IAmManware Adapting to change keeps you relevant, but using those changes to grow is what moves you forward.

My entire world view was based upon the narrative that if I am skilled enough, I will definitely get realized eventually. Even if school teachers or my parents fail to recognize it, I will pass the exam since I am skilled enough. And that did happen. But then - even if I have failed an exam due to bad luck, I am sure the right recruiters will eventually notice my skills. And that did happen. But then - even if most companies fail to recognize me due to flawed systems, I am sure my team leads, managers, teammates, and further companies will eventually notice my skills and I shall finally be fairly compensated. But then came AI. People are resolving tickets, building features and clearing interviews much faster than actually skilled people, with significantly lesser effort. On paper they're being way more productive. Being skilled enough doesn't get rewarded anymore. Delivering market value does. In a deeply unfair system where everyone is cheating, what can an innocent man do but adapt?

@IAmManware PS: Good products come from capitalism, great ones originate from competence and love for the craft.

@IAmManware I hear you. Everything is enshittified. Products are shallow because people's mindset has become shallow. Capitalism is eating away the pride in the craft people used to possess. People who argue about adapting to new ways have never felt the "high" of being competent.

@itzPankajkoder @IAmManware "Survival of the fittest" should not justify skill level.

@IAmManware As a human your main goal should be learning. if you want to survive you have learn to adapt and you think you not feeling the same spike in your brain as before find something new that interest you end goal should be happy. Adapt only those thing which make ur survival hard.

@ChShersh Strong men created C Delusionals created C++...

Strong men create C++ C++ creates good times Good times create weak men Weak men create Python Python creates hard times Hard times create strong men
