I don’t know, I have a pet programming project of my own I’ve been messing around with on and off for a year, but you know what? I get it. It starts with a single, simple goal. Every project can become a TempleOS if you let it.

Tests? The only test is if it segfaults or not and does the thing 🙃😁. Thank you for the information.
What about hobbyists with no “standard” corporate programming experience, but have been noodling around with PHP/C/C++ for 25 years? (I’m actually not even joking anymore lol. Never had the self-confidence to try and make it professional).

Your company can afford being a school that pays people to learn? Where do I sign up?
I might be a bit slow…
Wat? It’s the JS source for some website. Whoever made this literally just clicked “view page source” on a random website. It’s OS agnostic.
Tankies gonna tankie.
Wat? Don’t you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.
“Good luck, I’m behind 7 proxies!”
“Did they change that fucking control panel setting/menu again?? Where the fuck is it!”
I mean, I’m on Debian and I’m on the same install instance I’ve had for almost four years now. I’m constantly reading about how some of you people keep hosing your other distros with a normal update…
Yeah that sounds like a typical BMW engine layout.
That’s what Anthrocon is for. Once a year is enough.
36·14 days agoThe line between the people and the corporate/political elites is getting more defined and visible every day. I hope people notice.
Lemme tell you something, DO NOT learn BASIC as your first language. As a hobbyist, I avoided C/C++ for 25 years because I just didn’t get pointers and memory manipulation, and messed around with other languages like JS and PHP instead (also BASIC’s GOTO and GOSUB kinda ruined me as a programmer for a few years). But once it finally clicked a couple years ago, I now want to write EVERYTHING in C/C++.
I think plain C at least should be everybody’s first language. It literally reprograms your brain to think exactly like how a computer internally functions. I never got that with other languages, because they were so far removed from the actual machine.
Edit: also, after learning some of it, it’s pretty neat when you do stuff like look at parts of the Linux kernel source code and think “wow, I know what’s actually happening here now!”.
I’m imagining a 30 year old Pentium Pro server grinding away in a broom closet somewhere. It’s next to the one still running the old Space Jam website.
MacOS is actually officially “UNIX” though. It has that going for it.
