This Is... SUCH An Accurate Way To Describe What Working With Programming Is Like

This is... SUCH an accurate way to describe what working with programming is like

And fun fact!

We work very hard to make the computer MORE whiney.

We want it to check EXACTLY what is going on and start crying about very specific things so those errors does not end up in the release!

computer: I can't icanticanticant do it...I need CoolLibrary where's CoolLibrary I can't find it ;m;

me: uh, lemme check..

*rummages through the filesystem*

me: ...aha !! see, we got CoolLibrary right here !

computer: b-but..but it's...it's the nnneeewww CoolLibrary >:c I want the oooolllddddd one !!!!

*me, writing 'old' on a label and sticking it to CoolLibrary*

me: here you go, honey, how's this ?

computer: yippee !!! yaaayyy !!!! ^w^

I sometimes feel very tired and alone...

I am right now requesting copies of the permits for a concert I do vulenteer work for because they had us working with polluted dirt ( lead, mercury and cyanid... yum ) and gave the wrong equipment and info to the workers...

I am also pushing my workplace to have a checklist for setting up test hardware installations that can KILL YOU instead of relying on random people around sorta remembering how to do it safely hopefully

And I keep thinking "why me. Why is it always me who have to kick and push for basic kindergarten safety while surrounded by people who have just been accepting this shit for years"

And then I quote Tiffany Aching from the Terry Pratchett books and get on with it

"All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!

my toxic xennial trait is that i believe something should either be software (in which case after i download it i shouldn't need to be connected to use it) or a web page (which shouldn't require me to download anything to use it, however badly, in a browser). fuck your mandatory single function constant connection apps

Ooooh!

But Denmark have decided to switch tk the American model!

So we have cut funding of public healthcare by 20%. Then we doubled that and gave it to private healthcare!

Now we get to have a slightly worse healthcare system with longer waiting time AND pay more taxes AND not everyone can access healthcare.

AND as a main bonus, Danes now experience private healthcare having as short waiting times as as public USED to have, while the public have long wait times.

So now the Danes are in favor of MORE private healthcare so we can get to the american model!

reminder: people who run study blogs, channels, accounts are not productive all the time. they are not motivated 7/24. they also have their ups and downs. they fall behind their programs too. don't let the constant productive posts fool you. we are all human. it's alright to fall down as long as you get back up and keep going.

These are so tricksy to realise is happening.

Because I work embedded a similar problem that happens is "Your code and build tools are perfectly fine, but the hardware is unstable"

Noise on the wires, voltage changes when things unrelated to what I am doing are running.

Loads of fun things to figure out and learn that surrounds the code skill of "programming"

My program crashed for an hour or so and I tried to fix it

I finally fixed it

Twas a fucking compiler command gone bad

My code was good

FUCKKKKKKKKKKK
