Okay but 🍒 shouldn’t output 🍉. This is inconsistent and confusing. We have standards.

I can’t officially support this fork 😝

What if you don’t have a favorite programming language? I’m a firm believer that each language offers a specific set a features that makes each one uniquely suck and I often find myself at the crossroads of continuing to use this garbage or to learn a new language only to find it sucks in a different way. (/s another way of saying each language has its niche… (but sucks outside of it))

Words to live by

Spouse at 7:00 AM: “Why do only some of the house lights work and there’s no hot water?”

Me: “You know that quick fix I was working on last night. Well, umm, one thing led to another aaaand… Umm… Just so you know, your phone is using mobile data because the wifi is out.”

It’s only invalid if it generated errors.

But yeah, I typically play it safe and follow the standards. I do wish JSON5 would catch on though.

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes… or functions… or loops… or searching the internet… partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn’t bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn’t exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.
