I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.
The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.
The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.
If you drag your computer file to the box thingy it will be rendered
Why is grok such a resource hog despite being one of the less proeficient AI on the market.
sounds like a very productive team💀
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.
Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.
Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?
You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*
It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.
*these are rhetorical questions
They have turned life into an idle game and are bored now?
think about how few aircraft carriers they can afford though
What does a man with power want?
More power
these mfs don't need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.
Notice how it's suggested to cut instead of to copy the file.
Yeah duh, you get the fixed file so you don't need the original anymore obviously

Yeah, that's definitely a thing that is perfectly legal to do. Your company will definitely be fine with that.

i think ive pinpointed exactly why twitter devs are terrible
That was clear when they made Bootstrap.
Shots fired!
But honestly, for the time, bootstrap was great.
right? like at the time we had YUI and then bootstrap came along as a breath of fresh air
