In France, every BMW driver is a massive asshole that cannot drive properly. I should make statistics about this.


Fuck Microslop!


Don’t be shy, you are a coder now. Enjoy the chaos!


Nice shitpost! What was your code to achieve this?


I love narrow fonts because it feels like regular text, but monospaced at the same time, and lines are easier to read too.


On PragmataPro, I know it’s a bit pricey (60 euros) but I’ve been using 12 hours a day for years, it has a lot of characters available, supposedly hand-made, and the guy updates it regularly.
I have bought software that was more expensive but had way less usefulness.


I had never heard of that font, I’ll try it someday, thanks.


It’s illegal but all AI companies do it more than you’ll ever do. You have my permission.
I still buy on Bandcamp because they deserve it.


Thanks.


I admit that https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode has the best presentation.


I like it, it’s pleasant to my eyes. Thanks.


I personally use PragmataPro and Berkeley Mono (both paid fonts) because they are pretty, have ligatures, and are narrow enough to show more text on a line.
Edit: I forgot https://typeof.net/Iosevka/ which can be customized to mimic other fonts.


I would go with Head First Design Patterns, it’s more fun.
I would also give a try to Head First Software Architecture and the associated podcast.


I wish we stopped blaming LLMs for using commercial training data, it gives me a valid excuse to use BitTorrent nowadays. Also I enjoy watching companies fighting each other.
Drunk answer:
My normal job has never been programming
Keep telling yourself that, you’re a coder now.
Ive always wanted to be able to do coding.
That’s the spirit!
take excel macro calcul
Excel macros are pretty much universal because they are also available on LibreOffice and other tools. IMHO the whole point of programming is to get knowledge that is not too specific to one operating system or tool. Get all the macros, and document them in a simple text (Markdown) file that you can use in the near future.
As for Mendix, I have never heard about it, but if that’s your new life, read everything about https://docs.mendix.com/ and try to control all the steps in the process: Excel macros => textual representation => Mendix API.
I don’t know if I am making myself clear, but the whole point of programming is to control every step from the beginning to the end. Like:
how can I help out on this project
Most people keep the information to themselves and never share it. You can help by writing some kind of documentation/wiki/API that is available to everyone else, and by being a reference on how to switch from point A (Excel macro) to point B (Mendix API) while keeping a trace of how everything works from A to B.
If you need more information, keep asking, that’s how you learn.


Did you create that slop yourself too?
And for some magical reason, the deal will only last for the next 5 minutes, just for you, be quick or be dead!
