Y’know, concentrating power in the hands of a single person / group defeats the purpose of decentralisation.

I can understand if the damage is limited to communities within a single instance, but when a ban is so far-reaching - across so many instances - it makes me wonder what’s the point of choosing Lemmy over, say, Reddit.

It’s still the same problem again, just with different people in charge - like Bluesky vs Twitter.

Personally, I have seen so many memes about exiting vim that by the time I got to use it for the first time, exiting it was a no-brainer.

For any newbies out there, the command is

:wq

Spaghetti is all messy and tangled up; spaghetti code is the same.

when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs

That’s one way to make your code messy and thus achieve spaghetti code.

In general, when some code is very poorly written, it becomes spaghetti code.

No need for all that.

You’ve just got to see my code.

Nice read but there are lots of typos.

Any tips or pointers (unintentional pun) will be greatly appreciated!

IMO the most important thing when it comes to frameworks like this is state management.

Once you truly understood it / know how to do it properly, you are good to go.

P.S. My guess is that React got its name because it reacts to changes in state

P.P.S. this documentary on React provides insights on its history

No punchline…

The Software Craftsman by Sandro Mancuso

It’s less of technical stuff, but more about the attitude one can (and should) have in our profession.

IMO this interview with the author sums it up nicely.

Not many in my teams could put a finger on what exactly I did, but all agreed I was fairly valuable and things became worse when I left.

See: Being Glue

This is just a meme, but I find that communication is an underrated skill among software engineers.

Personally, I’m trying to get better at it.

Sounds like pain.

Thanks anyway.

FYI

1. branch protection is a thing
2. commit signing is a thing

I’m not sure what you are getting at.

Then saying that you have looked through and reviewed the code would be lying. And that is unprofessional.

Maybe remind them that all of their upvotes and downvotes are public.

It’s possible to see what others upvoted or downvoted?

A submersible with dead billionaires.

Cool; just like how human hunters would imitate mating calls / cries

Any context?

Since we are on the topic of funny stuff in code, here’s one encounter I had earlier:
