I imagine the event will be poorly attended because it's the last day of the con. So, it will be hilarious to see the room mostly empty while they pat each other on the back.

All of these coding things have been making me laugh. The healthcare stuff is painfully true so I know there’s other people here exposed to that industry. But for some reason while I’m laughing I’m also getting frustrated so it’s like a double edged sword and I think it’s just because it’s stuff that has annoyed me and keeps happening in a professional world.

From people plugging huge nests into sql columns, defeating the very purpose of a RDS system, to those guys who act like they are Google coders trying to outwit themselves and nobody can figure out what they did; not even them when they’re asked to fix something, and they literally have to re-code the whole thing because they can’t figure out their own “genius”.

:bang:

I just wrote these two lines of code. I want to kill myself.

code:
  str.match(/[\s+\-_:]?([A-Z0-9_]*[-_]?[A-Z0-9_]+-[0-9]+)$/i)
   # ^ holy poo poo
If I leave code comments, they are either acknowledging how bad a line of code is, or a very, very long rant about how what I'm writing is bullshit and I don't want to do it.

I pretty much like all languages. Except perl. I loving hate perl. I hate everything about it. Every time I have to write a regex in a language that uses perl syntax I get dumber. Sometimes, there's just no other way. Usually it's when you have to write something stupid that's designed to shovel data around because people before you did something stupid.

Does the slope of the trendline change when they update this? Curious if it's an actual fit or just a bullshit made-up thing.

For a released game where all the game has is its community, maybe

But for a game that is still barely even a tech demo, what does the community have to do with the coding ?

It's just another excuse for them to shill

So for 60 seconds, from 17:30:00 to 17:30:59, they will tell the people at that event that Sandi was cut from the movie completely.
Then they stand around awkwardly for an hour until 18:30.
