There are two wolves inside of you. Both have learned to code

Can't believe I know what this is from and yet I've never even beat any of those games lol
to me, writing code feels like the moments just before you realize you have food poisoning, and you're just standing there in the shower because showers usually help when you feel ill.
but it's not helping now. the most instinctive, reptile impulse in your brain is telling you that something is very wrong, like you might be dying.
like these could be your final moments, and you need to sit down because otherwise you might fall down.
then you suddenly and violently puke and shit all over yourself in the tub.
it's like that, but everyone can see what I'm doing since my repos are public.

Simple solution: just don't commit anything ever.
Writing code is like arguing with a belligerent logic-bro and trying to pin them down on anything
Computers are the smuggest, most maliciously compliant assholes on earth. At least unlike logic bros you can eventually corner them.
But sometimes when you do corner them and make them work, you don't know what you actually did to fix it.
I have more than one file on my computer that I literally can't open to read, because they'll stop working properly.
The metaphor for bringing something into being makes sense, but how the fuck do you go from writing code to hunting for meat?
Shitty corporate self-help speak. Like, thinking you gotta 'be a killer' in your job where you sit in a cubicle and send emails all day.
Robert C. Martin is a self-absorbed sociopath who occasionally has some salient wisdom about wrangling your shitty enterprise Java code. This was not one of those moments. In fact, I don't think he has had one since 2013.
white boi T go down
white boi speak in beards. lumberjacks, tomahawk steaks to compensate
I guess he looks at programming as achieving a single, focused goal as quickly and straightforwardly as possible. Which is a great way to write shitty "Real Programmer" code that no one can maintain and falls apart.
“This can’t be real”, I say to myself for the twenty-third time this week
I genuinely thought this was a joke about gender stereotypes, and it was really funny.
superstructure is created by the base but then takes on an existence of its own
You don't code while freezing your ass off at 5 AM, drinking shitty beer with a relative you only kind of like?
"Then he looked at me with his dead eyes and started talking about javascript frameworks between bites of sparrow"
Clearly you've never had a stray semicolon elude you for three hours. Only then will you feel the instinctual urge to point a literal firearm at it.
If you're outside the bubble of lefty Twitter programmers that regularly dunk on our friend Uncle Bob here, you might not know who he is. Here's a decent explainer.
TLDR; he wrote a book of bad programming advice, loves police, is racist.
Clean Architecture takes really useful ideas that have been around for years (hexagonal/ports and adapters/DCI yadda yadda), strips them of any nuance and in true Bob style, sells them as a panacea - but to know how to do it right, you’d have to spend more money on a few more videos from him. Classic right wing grift. I hate the dude, I’ve had so many colleagues absorb his shitty attitude and mimic his scoffing when I’m curious about something and ask questions.
It's hardly the worst thing he's done, but at one point he decided to start making sweeping declarations about some concepts in Haskell, which he clearly had just looked up and didn't understand. Didn't matter how many FP experts corrected him, or tried to explain how words like monoid actually have precise mathematical definitions and he can't just say they're exactly the same thing as Unix pipes or whatever.
My job of analysing spreadsheets feels like jumping into a fighter jet and waging intergalactic war. I'm not alienated by the way.
These westerners waxing poetic about hunter warrior garbage would instantly shits their pants if they took a sip of my third world water.
Can confirm, drank a cup of unboiled water in Kazakhstan once and had the runs for two weeks
