Programmer Humor

Someone cropped the last line? What a sociopatl

(For any nerd wondering, the name of the language is Nahuatl but I guess Aztec language is more recognizable for the sake of the joke lol)

Type of dinosaur I believe

I decided to try Cursor today (first time using any coding assistant) to refactor my sloppy NixOS config, and I'm really impressed to far. My config is so much cleaner and very well documented. It even has automated backups, a README.md, and CHANGELOG.md now!

The cost has been ~$20 so far (I'm still tinkering with it).

ETA: I also use ~~Arch~~ NixOS btw

Edit 2: I asked it "how might I streamline my deployments a little?" It wrote some nicely polished scripts that use deploy-rs, and wrote some nice documentation for it.

The script didn't work on first run, so I added the console output to the context and asked "what went wrong here?" It debugged and fixed the script, and updated the docs.

I think this has been the most frictionless NixOS experience I've had so far

I would not say that. I use a very old 13" Dell XPS laptop. I use Code-Server and duckduckgo. I have be known to program on my 7 year old android tablet with a bluetooth keyboard. For the most part I look at docs for JS modules as I write mostly in Python with Flask and use JS for responsiveness. Before anyone suggests something else I have to interface with a VERY old database that I wrote a webservice into through C#. I do realize there are other ways but python is my comfort point and the amount of backend processing makes it easier to use a "real" language. For my purposes it is plenty fast.

There are dozens of us. And we are used to reading manuals, since we first installed our system.

It is extremely easy to use the internet without using google.

They did it before the Internet was even a thing, my friend.

Knowledge and skill have now been demonised

It's a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.

Pretty sure it's gonna be the stake

Why not both? Probably worshipped at the stake.

Psychopatl

It's a fine operating system, what editor do you use?

This indecent has been reported

and never in public

Lol

I can’t live without vim.

Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.

Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.
