I can't believe people are still using GUMBIES when there are so many better alternatives.

programmers are always posting like “worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn’t in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don’t do a cache flush on all the client spiders they’ll get stuck in the crystal maze.” then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

“GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows.”

and you get to the bottom and you’re like I want this I guess but I still don’t know what it is ------------ chaussurreMaybe there wouldn’t be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE??? --------------- **jv (verification badge × 7)**Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY “powerwolf112”, who hasn’t answered a single message in GitHub since 2021??? For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators! ___________ anarchywoofwooffound this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance ---- 11,862 notes

nulluser,

Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.

The GUMBIES page being one sentence per scroll scroll scroll is right on point for a fuckload of projects. Even the text feels like it was copy pasted from a real project

Crack0n7uesday, (edited )

And that one line is something like “fixed issue where the nuclear bombs don’t go off anymore”, no mention as to how or why that was even a problem or how they fixed it.

Thcdenton,

This makes me want to die

I fed this into chat gpt asking for documentation to add to the gibberish and confusion:

frezik,

By the end of the post chain, I could no longer tell if this was a joke or not.

mindbleach,

It’ll be extra fun in a few years when someone names their project after this joke.

Poutinetown,

And stop answering on GitHub after 7 years on v0.1.1

mods_are_assholes,

I’m still just trying to figure out if GUMBIES is compatible with my ReverMax Turbo Encabulator model XYZZY in sinusoidal repleneration mode.

braxy29,

nice to see another vxjunkie here

A lot of them were shifted 1 second into the future following the problems with the cracked frampton valve on a popular model of felindrical phase felcher.

carpelbridgesyndrome, (edited )

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Any experience with it?

Sure

For at least 5 year?

The framework was created last year

bier,

I just found out GUMBIES 7 isn’t backwards compatible with GUMBIES 1.

And yes I know GUMBIES 1 was released in 2013, but still what the actual fuck!

We called newbie overconfident climbers gumbies, back when I could. I think the same applies here.

ILikeBoobies,

I experienced a new hell today

The whole of the documentation was in video format and you had to accept all cookies to play the videos

At least with GUMBIES not having documentation there is a wide thread of people asking questions on third party sites

xmunk,

This was legitimately part of the reason I went with Laminas instead of Laravel for a project. I really don’t want critical documentation to be in video form.

shasta,

I fully agree with you. However, I just had an interesting thought. Could someone use chatgpt to transcribe the video’s audio to text and plop it into a wiki?

Any documentation videos that comply with the accessibility requirements in many jurisdictions will have subtitles. Just extract the subtitles from the video.

mindbleach,

Projects based on Gibson novels are lame. The new hotness is documentation based on Bradbury novels.

sajran,

Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

huquad,

GUMBIES isn’t real, it can’t hurt me…

Cort,

Oh honey, just because it’s not real doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you. Just look up Roko’s basilisk as an example.

Aqarius,

Or, yknow, don’t.

jkrtn,

The ego and audacity to think an AI will simulate you in eternal torment when that would use up precious resources it could be spending on making paperclips.

Pfft 😂

Roko’s basilisk is The Game for futurists.

Here you go, enjoy. You win!

Blackmist,

Kubernetes homepage is the real life example of this.

gmtom,

I still don’t know what kubernetes does and at this point I’m afraid to ask.

Arrkk,

It has the same root as the also made up word Cybernetics, hope this helps!

AnUnusualRelic,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

I think it empowers the deployment of, um scalability, of the, waves arounds modular thingies… or something. In a virtual way.

AnUnusualRelic,
@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

There are innumerable examples.

My typical attitude is “I was fine without “latest fad” until now, I’ll still be fine now that I still know nothing about it”. And I forget about the whole thing. It’ll probably vanish fifteen months later anyway.

As an aside, who even makes those caricatural, utterly content free websites, and then pats themselves on the back thinking that’s a job well done? They’ve obviously put some amount of work into those things. Is the point to make it seem like it’s a cool super secret society or what?

mindbleach,

Relevant XKCD.

I can relate and I’m not even an expert yet.

fraksken,

Stable binaries ftw

Blackmist,

They all look the exact same as well, like every Bootstrap site does.

AlexWIWA,

I still don’t know what it is. I will keep it that way on purpose

rofurus,

Is the joke not on the problem of cute names? K8s doesn’t seem to do that at all. I also checked the homepage itself, and it seemed OK.

What am I missing?

Alternatively: “Never mind, I figured it out”

Forum responses like that are why two of my four IBM Model M’s don’t work anymore…

RustyNova,

I won’t lie, but content like this is what I love on programmerhumor.

Also just use the (inferior) open source version of GUMBIES called GRUMBOSS. It’s way better!

s12,

The recent regulation changes at the end of February kinda killed GRUMBOSS though.

youtube.com/shorts/xEHSbHH4F_k?si=06iPTcwXRgQuT2q…

Valmond,

LUMBIES is open source MIT and GPL3+

Just saying.

entropicdrift,
@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, but LUMBIES is missing catScratcher integration! That’s a core feature for my use case and the dev has taken a (ridiculous IMO) proud moral stance against any sort of felidae-adjacent features

gmtom,

Gumboss doesn’t work with the new version of .net and no merge requests have been accepted in like 8 months so you have to manually patch each instance of it yourself to get it work.

There’s a script you can download to do this automatically and it works a good 70% of the time!

nieceandtows,

Good luck with that. Nintendo just sued GRUMBOSS for $2.4M and shut the project down.
