Unpopular opinion:

Writing HTML through template engines like Twig is like writing C through preprocessor macros. It has its place, but it should not be glamorous or default.

“So my daughter tells me you write HTML by hand, like I used to”
“Yes, I write plugins that contain Twig templates that extend Twig templates in the theme we use, that extend Twig templates in the platform’s base package”
“You have exactly 10 {{ ‘second’|plural(10) }} to get the fuck out of my house”

I’m very disappointed in you, nerds. A vulnerability in a tool called xz has been in the news for a week, and I have not seen a single xzibit shitpost.

Given all the fuckups coming to light, I’m going to re-read Allan McDonald’s memoir of the Challenger disaster. You know, just to remind myself what competent oversight feels like.

Where’s the “Not now, not ever, don’t show me this noise ever again” option? 🤬

I don’t particularly care if you collect data about 25 test orders in this development environment, but since you’re being such a knob, I’m going to decline on principle.

The customer keeps giving us the credentials in a link to a one-time pastebin. Our attempts to read it keep failing. Can you guess why?

JIRA visits the link in the client’s comment to draw a preview, and the pastebin burns the paste right after. 🤦🏼

(this is not a query for better pastebins)

Yeah… Mastodon has a classic thundering herd/Slashdot problem with each instance trying to create link previews. It has already crashed smaller sites, which I guess is a sign that Masto has made it to the big leagues 💪.

I also wonder why some of these secretbins don’t have an “ask user to confirm before showing them the secret” function, like 1ty.me does. Ah well. I’m sure they have rate limits or something else to prevent curl loops…

“I’m sure had good reasons to implement $feature this way, I’ll see the light eventually”, I reassure myself while trying to adapt its 65th aspect to my requirements.

It’s not often that I find a framework that makes me want to go back to Magento 1, so congrats on finding a unique selling point, I guess.

I also like “Turing-Kruger effect”.

A few times I have told the anecdote that the singly most baffling thing I ever saw in a code review — not the most insecure, just the most “how could a real programmer have written this? how could this ever make sense?” thing — was simply a C++ variable “number_of_trucks” … declared as float. Unambiguously referring to real physical trucks in a fleet.

Reader, it’s been over ten years and I am blowing the gods damn whistle. I had edited that story to protect the guilty: the variable was named number_of_planes. It was shipped by a company whose name begins with “B” and rhymes with “GOING out of business.”

Floats also allow some languages to write cool documentation like “If <language> encounters a number beyond the bounds of the int type, it will be interpreted as a float instead. Also, an operation which results in a number beyond the bounds of the int type will return a float instead.” 🙃

> companies, including Apple, have restricted their employees’ use of ChatGPT and similar sites

Meanwhile, my workplace just paid for a ChatGPT subscription and encouraged us to use it while programming.

Oh yeah, my popcorn is fully stocked. We’re also looking into JetBrains AI Assistant, because of course two AIs are better than one.

(Fun fact: we are also trying to get more govtech clients. I can’t wait to see our own remix of UK’s Horizon scandal, hahaha.)

Last boost:
I’m now thinking about analogies between consent pop-ups and this old bash quote about IRC file transfers:

There’s also a more obscure bash quote I will never forget, “I compressed my files using md5sum. Now how do I decompress them?”
