The more taboo a topic, the more it gets people agitated, sometimes this is channeled sexually.

Never give them evidence against you. They should do the work themselves.

You can generate the code with a simple macro.

Always put a ticket number in the commit message. That can make it much easier later to find out what the context was for some weird solution.

It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

Great points. Especially putting in more memory can get you very far.

Database optimization? Nah, just put in 1 TB of RAM to keep the whole DB in memory at all times.

Oh you need this in garbage collected languages too, once you run into memory use issues. GC languages are notorious for being wasteful with memory, even when working correctly.

Yes, pretty much like UML diagrams. Who is responsible for allocating memory and freeing it.

Languages like Swift, Objective-C, C++ have features that mean you don’t need to do this by hand. But you have to tell the compiler if you want to keep and object around and who owns it.

See this article on Objective-C to see the different ways to manage memory this language supports.

OOP also has object ownership hierarchy structures. Which object owns which other object, is a question always worth answering.

Books, classes, and documentation can also be lacking for new tech.

Those microservices are a mix of a dozen programming languages across dozens of different versions.

JPEG2000 can do exactly what you want for decades.

I organized pen and paper RPG conventions back when D&D 4 came out. We banned D20 based games even then as a boycott of WotC.

I read posts just like yours ten years ago.

Lots of programmers are autists and dont like new information.

Most pages don’t need dynamic loading.

Better than continue building something useless.

The best new use of woke is the woke right.

The author James Lindsay has defined it in similar terms, as “a victimhood-based identity politics” whose “victim groups are whites, Christians, men, and straight people”. He argues that the movement is “roughly intersectional” insofar as it is obsessed with identity politics and a grievance relating to anti-white racism. “Like their counterparts on the Woke Left,” Lindsay writes, “the Woke Right have accepted as fact that there’s a conspiracy against people like them and that their only real hope is to lean into the identity grouping and advocate for collective power under that heading”. In these terms, the “woke right” is a kind of ideological doppelgänger, whose members exhibit the same precisionist and absolutist tendencies of their leftist counterparts.

Pierce Morgan uses it more and more often against right wingers to great effect.

Woke is now a synonym for Social Justice warrior.

A person or movement prioritizing moralizing outrage about minor grievances over actual effective societal change.

As my half Nigerian cousin likes to say on issues like white people wearing dreadlocks: “That’s something only white privileged women care about.”
