I'm a rust developer, do I need to transition?
To both of you a clear yes!
RemindMe! 2 years
Good read, thanks
But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)
translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.
The idea of abolishing all gendering of things is a curiously contested one within LGBT+ spaces, as far as I can see.
I can understand how people wishing to be identified a certain way have a vested interest in the existence of markers for that identity.
On the other hand, I wish painting my nails wasn't fem-coded on some level. Of course guys can do so too, but the only "guy" I knew who did so regularly eventually turned out not to be a guy, which doesn't exactly help me ignore that connotation.
Only if you like women
Let's not go referring to vibe coders as developers, now.
I was a C/C++ dev for a long time. Then a while back I got an ewaste Thinkpad running Linux and have started developing in Rust. When do my programming socks show up?
MatLab user
I like how it doesn't say "coder" because everyone knows MatLab isn't a real programming language
Gnu octave on the other hand...
Then what's Java?
A language for describing frameworks.
Allegedly, some people use it for implementations too, but I don't know if it's really suited for that.
Coffee? Idk I'm not a coder, I just know MatLab lol

As a c++ professor, I would never lie to my students like this.
C++ lets you assign variables with <%%> in case your parents were killed by an equals sign.
TIL about bat! Looks awesome!
Bat is really cool - I share your enthusiasm! As far as I remember, the repo for bat has a bunch of example use cases that I hadn't thought of, fyi!
I have the perfect module to use this once. Most people will see it and will figure out that it is doing what it should, but no one can change it because the file will be LFS locked like 99% of the time.
Finally, someone gets it

Am a trans Rust developer. Can confirm.
I'm old and remember when all the trans women were Haskellers. now they've all moved to Rust and here I am, still toiling away with my monads and combinators, a lonely spinster. 😔
Do I get points for being an F# nerd?
#include <delusion>
delusion was added in C++24 and we are stuck in C++03 😭
The word for R Studio fan is "scientist"
Scientists too busy writing grant proposals to realise that the developers of RStudio have made Positron, which is VS Code based and generally better
having a C# dev boyfriend would be such a boon. "hey honeyyy? unity is not doing what I want it to, can you be my rubber ducky? <3" Wait, I remebered I am using Unreal/ C++ now. Nevermind. 10/10 accurate diagram.
C++, ew, no thanks, also where is C??
You can't spell "INCEL" without "C"
😭😭😭😭
Whew! Thankfully I'm a gay JavaScript user
everybody on the internet is a javascript user! do you even develop, bro?
I guess I pretend to with limp wrists.

Me, looking between a picture of Bjarne Stroustrup and OP: ... are you sure about that?

SQL enjoyer?
Every time I use it I feels like I'm going back to the 90s. No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE or subquery.......👍
UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL... "There's got to be a better way, surely..."
looks up better way
"Oh, what the fuck?!.... Nope, this will just be quicker..." UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL...
Join in a table sharing column names... Everything breaks. You gotta put the new prefixes in front of all the headers you called in now. In every select, in every where, etc... Which is weird because that kinda works like a variable and it's fine...
"When you see this little piece of text, it means all this, got it?"
"Okay. Yep. Easy."
"So why can't you do that with expressions?"
SQL SCREAMS MANICALLY
"Okay, okay, okay!... Jesus..."
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won't let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter...
I hate it. It has speed, when you can finally run the script, but everything up to that is so...ugh.
Personally I feel like SQL syntax is upside down, and things are used before they are defined.
SELECT
a.id -- what the fuck is a?
, a.name
, b.city -- and b??
from users a -- oh
join city b on a.id = b.user_id -- oh here's b
I'd expect it to instead be like
From users a
join city b on a.id = b.user_id
SELECT
a.id,
a.name,
b.city
It seems that you need to get better. There are plenty of valid complaints against SQL, but your problems seem to be all due to lack of familiarity.
No variables, no functions; Oh but you can do a CTE
Yeah, CTEs are more expressive than variables. And as somebody pointed, every database out there supports functions, you may want to look how they work.
UNION ALL, UNION ALL, UNION ALL… “There’s got to be a better way, surely…”
What do you mean by a "better way"? Union all is a perfectly valid operation.
And then you try put a MAX in a where and it won’t let you because you gotta pull all the maxes out in their own query, make a table, join them in, and use them like a filter…
Window functions exist.

RStudio and SQL are the only ones of those things I’m aware of having experience with (no idea what language rimworld is coded in, but I’ve also only read that, not tried to modify it).
But if some dude wanted to spend a bunch of time and energy to teach me all about their burning passion language or whatever, that’d be pretty hot. Maybe not JavaScript.. ;)
Not in a “dick me down immediately” sort of way, ofc, but in a “mmmm sexy brain and sexy willingness to teach complicated stuff” sort of way. And really to me that’s a solid spring-board to “dick me down immediately” territory.
I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.
Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.
