@BMitch - see above.

Can a mod please delete the CFella answer from diy.stackexchange.com/questions/131222/… before somebody hurts themselves? And possibly ban CFella?

That they can't at least call it convertGallonsToMillimetersBecauseIAmUsingSuchCleanCode is what would bother me the most.

Except that professionally the recognition usually takes the form of pay, while at SE it usually takes the form of complaining about questions being closed.

@JimmyHoffa - Good blog post

@KitZ.Fox Those fools said my methods were unsound!

@KitZ.Fox Thank you. This meets all of my home brain surgery how-to guide needs.

@GlenH7 But... priorities

Rather than a permanent thing

@Ampt Aw, crap. I was hoping is was an Easter vacation or something.

@JohanLarsson Diff.empty Otherwise it's like using ints and have null represent 0. People will have to put in null checks for all sorts of things that otherwise wouldn't have corner cases.

Searching github for "this should never happen" returns a lot of hits.

"Amabots"

Yes, cookies. Not the micro-drone program that durron597 isn't working on because it doesn't really exist.

pretty obvious once you see it.

@BarryTheHatchet oh, that's easy

@KitZ.Fox This sounds like a question for the main site. A real development problem you are actually facing - perfect fit.

@ThomasOwens I usually just pretend I have a priority queue, even if we are doing sprints. It wastes too much time to rush to meet a deadline and do things wrong, or to work on something other than stories in fear that something that will end up in-process when the sprint ends. If people want to draw imaginary time boxes around that work then that's up to them.

@AdamZuckerman He so does get a lot of votes based on who he is. I also think it's a better answer. It teaches more about how to program well (though it doesn't answer the asked question as directly as you do).

@enderland Then I'm going to go with: probably not. I'll try again but I may not get to it for a while.

@enderland

somebody is a fan of john galt

@Ampt Leave it to the sock to stand up for static.

@enderland Are the rumors that you're the lead developer true: github.com/4Lang/4

@whatsisname Just people roominating over nothing.

@BarryTheHatchet Yes, you're lacting horrible.

@Hosch250 That's funny, but anaphylaxis is something that can kill you before you get to the ER, so I kind of hope they at least hung out near the ER to see if it got better.

@Snowman All Haskell code in CR automatically goes to meta.

Haven't spotted JimmyHoffa in a few days

@whatsisname Because programming is just typing, how hard can it be?

@GlenH7 So good.

@BarryTheHatchet That sentence doesn't even make sense.

@Saurav Depends where you are in the west.

@BarryTheHatchet I can't watch. It's like going into a Chineese restaurant and ordering a cheese burger.

@RobertHarvey In theory, but in practice they probably aren't doing things right for reasons deeper than they've never heard mention of what doing things right would look like.

@enderland I love it. I find it easier to engage. Most people I've talked about it with find it harder though.

I myself have worked 100% remote - sometimes without any real life meeting. It's a relief when the first check clears.

@enderland I've talked to people flirting with hiring 100% remote developers (primarily thinking of on-shore), but they've never quite gotten around to it.

@enderland There are some people here I would potentially keep an eye out for remote job offers for - I've thought about asking people a bit about what they would be looking for. OTOH, I haven't actually had a specific position I could really offer anyway, so it's probably not worth troubling people.

@enderland better update your LinkedIn image.

@enderland Good for the movie about the comically horrible wedding. As all falls apart the automated tweets go off, now horribly uncomfortable in the new context.

(sorry if that sounds condescending, I'm actually impressed)

@Saurav That you answered the question by actually trying it is a very good sign for your future skill level.

@Ixrec I've encountered a section of code that appears to be the Linux kernel implemented in emacs lisp. Somehow it appears to be downloading the Linux nightlies and live-translating the lisp source code to match. Can anybody point me to the code that does that? I can't find it.

@Saurav Getting out and writing code is good. But the ability to estimate the rough number of person-years a project will take is also important. You just won't come close to finishing.

@BarryTheHatchet In the U.S. being rude as a tourist is a constitutional right.

@BarryTheHatchet But do you want to avoid dirty looks or do you want to eat deep dish pizza?

@RobertHarvey They "went dark". It was a dark time, where the masses huddled in fear without the light of automated mass government surveillance to guide them, and prayed for a day when their voices could be heard - whenever they spoke out loud.

he's back! Shhhh.

@enderland Giving him yet more free publicity as an opening salvo doesn't bode well for their chances.
