I’m playing both sides 


I used to refactor code from r/programminghorror as an exercise. And I’ve headed 2 divide and conquer initiatives for gradual refactors on a 500k line codebase. I’m decent at it. But getting buy in is hard. We somehow once got management to agree to a 6 month feature freeze so we could pay off tech debt and get the platform to stop shitting itself on the reg.


The rest of my career is going to be joining startups a couple years in and gradually refactoring their AI fueled spaghetti, isn’t it?


Communist January 6ers in the ballroom in 2033:

D-FENS is so aspirational especially the part where he stands up to the brown people and foreigners and then
tries to murder suicide his daughter on her birthday
I was not doing well
My worst week ever, I averaged 22 hours a day
Photoshopping Thor over top of old programming horror posts is diabolical lmao


I believe that’s the joke


#!/usr/bin/env python
def main() -> None:
"""executes when file is run as a standalone script"""
print('hello world')
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

print('hello world')

I’ve had a similar “DM’s unexamined biases” experience with treating certain races as inherently deserving of slaughter. Like, my first campaign ever was run with a goblin sorcerer who I got really close with. “There’s a war where one side is all goblins” is not a clear cut plot hook to get us to join the opposition by itself.
