And yet it’s still easy to write spaghetti code in Java. Just abuse inheritance. Where is this function implemented? No one knows but the compiler!

I would fix that bug but the complete rewrite that management has had me working on for the past two years will make it obsolete anyway.

Mom, put down the phone, I’m using the modem!

That’s when you break out valgrind because you certainly are using uninitialized memory.

I’m trying to remember the last time I actually had a core file. I think core dumps have been disabled by default on Linux since at least 2000.

I don’t use Ruby anymore, but I still use irb everyday as a command line calculator.

Tradition is just dead people’s baggage. Doug Stanhope.

I’m not great with gdb but I think using the x cmd shows them.

Your result is correct, is just not displaying the leading zeros.

Known to cause heisenbugs. They’re bugs that disappear when you try to measure them with a debugger or a printf.

I prefer using the command line… but it is nice to be able to use a TUI to select the staging files, so this works out perfectly.

Nah… wrap entire templates in @if statements.

It’s kinda amazing how someone can work so hard to sabotage their own public image.

The problem is that if you send a message just blindly, you can be tricked into sending spam to millions of addresses. I do one thing that prevents that, but does violate the standard, I verify there’s only 1 ‘@’ in the address… this technically prevents people with '@'s in their name, but they probably find it impossible to do anything with that address anyway.

If you’re going to do a text adventure, don’t deprive yourself of using the most English friendly dsl ever, inform 7.

State machines always make me think of the Disk II controller on the Apple II. It uses a state machine to implement reading and writing sectors to disk.
