Something wrong with:

#include <Arduino.h>


void loop()  {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

? 😂🤮

Cobol: you are old, and a nerd, and probably making some sweet cheddar right now propping up a mid to late 20th century beast somewhere.

Assembly: you are a cyborg.

Welp, back to NCSA Mosaic I guess. We never needed CSS and JS anyway, those were a huge mistake.

I can relate. I can emphasize with someone who’s learned every nuance of a language, and after 30-40 years suddenly these kids come in with their strange hieroglyphics and slowly replacing everything you’ve worked on.

it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

I’m an electronic security installer. You know how many times I’ve done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.

Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old…

Good luck wherever life takes you now.

Everything is just silicon oxide gates being saturated and drained and turned on and off in various patterns very rapidly in a way that means something to us. That Fortran/C/C++/Assembly depends on that tiny two-MOSFET AND gate in the ALU to do the AND correctly every time.

Programming languages at the basic level are just an automated way of putting numbers into a calculator, processing them, and getting another number/status/flag back and doing something else with it based on the result.

You don’t use a regex generator/decoder? You actually tried to learn what that shit means??

Yes. That’s a given. As long as it’s in the back end, there isn’t a problem. My concern is if someone out there still isn’t checking it at all. There must be some inept devs out there if SQL injection attacks on the web are still a thing. That’s the kind of thing you’d hear about way back in 2004. Hell I know to defend against it and I don’t even do web development.

I wanna meet the web dev who’s still not sanitizing inputs in 2025.

Naw. Not knowing pisses me off. I’m gonna have to deal with it again in the future, probably, so might as well set some time aside to figure out wtf is happening.

When it decides to follow the design pattern of some teen in their bedroom making an RPG with 10,000 nested if/else statements.

Me: Tries to learn to use C++ templates and custom containers again.

C++: Wall of hieroglyphics.

That’s just the dataset. The actual script is here: https://github.com/FailSpy/abliterator

Yes, look out for the leg bombs.

Like putting electrical tape over your check engine light.

C++. Do whatever the hell you want, it doesn’t care. Mix paradigms all day long.

People complain about its complexity and the fact that it has everything including the kitchen sink, but that is exactly why I love it. It gives you choice.
