Radium gets a massive amount of poo poo however at the end of the day he built the forums that people still pay money to post on because it has the best look and feel on the internet, thanks in large part to him. Parts may be hacked and duct taped together but it has no real effect on the users. The search is poo poo, but it turns out that's not a feature people really care about on a poo poo talking humor forum.

if someone can't factor a lovely codebase then why are they even in the industry i mean we've heard about the sprawling functions.php file, am I really supposed to believe that it's impossible to sort that out with modern vc tools

do you think he realized that this guy is going to take 2 years to deliver a barely functional forum and once he does he's just going to avoid him for months anytime he's asked for changes, just like radium did? like, this is literally team barry deux as far as i can tell.

a website of this caliber demands only the finest in bespoke software. nothing here can be done using mere "off the shelf" solutions, it all must be painstakingly crafted from the highest quality, hand-selected bits and bytes.

same goes for all of lowtax's !important hacks in the stylesheets btw, rewriting the forums in mathematica or whatever does absolutely nothing to address that. it can only be fixed through a brute-force resolution of the rules currently in effect here too vc comes into play because if you have a thousand rules to resolve you better have a way to resolve a few at a time and keep track of the work Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Feb 6, 2017 |

so i wonder if he had the position meanings documented somewhere (which would be totally uncharacteristic) or they had to be reverse engineered also whether there was a utility function somewhere to extract bit positions or he just used string primitives each time

no one wants to believe it, but the "clean break" is just another iteration of the thinking that created the situation in the first place

I'm sure lowtax has a succession plan in place in case he wraps his gtr around a pole and the forums are secure

Looks like they stopped posting in late December so I'd guess not well, OP:Dr. Hans Klangwerk posted:I'm extremely busy at the moment but again, progress has been made and though three months was unfortunately not accurate because of the reasons I mentioned before, plans have not changed.
