Program sucks at something it was not designed to do.

The requirements have always been the same. Only now they’re reflected more accurately in your docs.

The key is to not reassign function names to local variables.

const print = obj.toString
print() // gives you a bad time

The fewer magic blackboxes are around, the

• (happy variant) easier it is to train new people and the less mental burden there is on existing staff
• (sad variant) easer it is to fire people.

I marvel at the proficiency with which Microsoft tears down every piece of software it touches nowadays.

Sending “temporary” changes into your CI pipeline isn’t even stupid, it’s borderline malicious.

No? “Hey customer, I’ve deployed the changes you requested to the staging area. Is this what you had in mind? Keep in mind it only looks good and isn’t fully functional yet.”

That means that the HR account thinks what the employee account wrote is bad, too. Both posts are bad extremes.

As an employee, if i find a prospective colleague who doesn’t ask about what they’re supposed to be doing at all, I’d be wary of them, too.

Depending on the configuration, a linter may cause the compilation or a CI pipeline to fail.

Yes, I’d rather have 35 different IDEs for every task I need to do. Much better than One To Rule Them All.

At least there’s a help text. All my BIOS ever says is:

Enable Intel foobargnarfthingy. Enables the Intel foobargnarfthingy.

The navbar has an annoying left border.

multiple people edited my question to change the grammar and take out the thanks and smiley at the end

Well, the Welcome Tour tells you that SO is about “just questions and answers”. This facilitates finding a question that’s written as concise as possible, checking its answer, and leaving. SO is deliberately not like a forum.

SE seems too heavily focusing on helping a “generic public” rather than the actual people asking the questions.

This is just another consequence of not being a forum. Of course SO wants questions to be helpful to as many people as possible. I don’t see how that is a bad thing.

If you want a laxer approach to handling quality, consider if you’ve ever found useful information on yahoo answers.

To inform people that their reach decreases when they don’t provide their ideas in text. I mean, they already have the script. All they need to do is upload it somewhere.

the fact that every small thing is its own cmdlet is super annoying. I can do everything in Linux if I know 10 commands

That sounds more like a clash of cultures than a real problem. In Linux you need to know 10 options and possibly subcommands for each command. Naturally the same concept has different flags, and the same flag has different meanings in different commands. Is that really better?

That’s what you get when you define a file system as “a system that names things”.

I was going to list a whole bunch of things the DETAILS tag doesn’t allow, but it seems that none of these issues actually appear. So either it has evolved since I’ve looked at it last time or I was stupid.

Either way, thanks for talking back.

What’s a native HTML element that mimics Bootstraps Collapse?

It also has lots of UI widgets like collapsing elements, modals and alerts. Sure, you could code all these by hand, but why bother?

I’ll up that to 99%.

None of the people I know who aren’t in an IT job or in a relationship with one who is knows how to use a computer.

Been there, done that. I’ve learned to be very unique in naming my shit.
