The hammer dev. See a problem, they grab a hammer. See a screw? Hammer. Complex social issue? You bet your binary tree it's getting hammered.2

fuck taxes, fuck you gov, you've done shit for me, actually, you're always assfucking me every fucking chance you get. So, yeah, I don't pay it in full, oh no, I put my shit where you can't find it, you fucking leech
you want my taxes, yeah? How bout you get off you fucking cockroach ass and gimme something I'd actually want. Legalize weed or abortion, you sick fuck. Reform the police, for fucksakes! Instead, you're always draggin it, pleasing then herd 🦬 well, then, keep taxing them cows and stay the fuck out of my wallet!26 -
Why in all fucks would you NOT preconfigure your language client BUT provide a shitload of highly biased default shortcuts just IN CASE some sorry soul took time to preconfigure one.
I'ma be totally honest here, Neovim has lost its way. Every single day I pick it up there's a fuckton of shitty new default bindings...
But that's not the worst of it
You see, they've cramming all sorts of shitty code in there. Like this one default commenting plugin... It does in 600 lines what my setup does in 50. Why? Because, while mine uses the lpeg lib maintainers decided to cram into the editor, the other does a fuckton of hacks so fucked that refactoring is impossible, impossível! Despicable.
Now, their C codebase... Ok, ok arena beats vanilla malloc, alright, kudos to that, BUT refactoring out that old fart of quasillions of legacy C? MADNESS! They should be focused on adding built-in auto completion??? Well-defined syntax highlighting conventions? A FUCKING FUZZY PICKER for fucksakes!! But, oh no, we've got better things to do like FUCKING THE USER IN THEIR ASSSSSSS

FUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK8 -
fucking rude, that's what it is. Start chatting in a language not everyone in the room understands. It's also de quickest way to make me deslike you, even if I myself understand the language.

"Globals? What? I don't do no globals, maaaan"
aham, ok, what's that local dressedup as global there?
"but that's still a local, dude!"
gsus xrist! I'd cry if it wasn't endemic 🤦🏻1 -
some languages completely get lost in minutiae, disposable preciousism that looks pretty but mischievously gobble development cycles. Now, there's no doubt they make for skinnier, trustworthy, low maintenance code, yes, congratulations Haskell. Although, you see, Haskell, not every language out here is defacto an academic one. You hear me, Rust. So, for fuck sakes, Rust dear. You've macros, sis, you don't need a new languages feature every other naughty day. You need prototyping speed, not more complexity. I'm not complaining not really.... It's your fucking language server, your compiler... They can't take this shit no more. Have you seen their overeating problems? Please, Rust, stop picking plastic surgery instead of make-up and use macros instead

and google, dear, your auto completion sucks ass1 -
whenever I see the word TypeScript I actually read JavaScript. Cuz it's really JavaScript in disguise. Its type system is JavaScript worthy, maybe... Probably not

anything weird is beyond vscode
anything weirder is beyond vim
nothing is weird to emacs
oh, emacs, one day... one day I'll ditch vim and let you pick me up -
"getConfig ()", where "config" is literally in the same mothfucking file and the fucking function's not even exported.
Yet, they complain, "why's it so hard to maintain?"...
If you've gotta ask, you shouldn't be here, you little shit

FUUUUUUUUCK, me hearing's ringing from this one -
Aaaaw, man, feels good writing some macros!

and when I keep it all primitives I get instant feedback on what the fuck my code really looks like2 -
Sometimes I write code so pristine, so sexy it blinds
but sometimes...
sometimes I can't let it go
gotta get back to it
make it flashier, prettier, faster, smaller...
And always, ALWAYS! I shit over it, full-blown dysentery. diarrhea so bleak, so dark and nasty it makes me question my sanity, my soul cracks, my mind numbs...
Today was one of these days, but it was the last. I shall never ever do that again.4 -

wrote myself a toml parser, it works alright but the official specification's in ABNF and boy, oh boy, half the work was figuring that shit out. But, hey, at least I didn't need to actually KNOW enough toml to do it
-
So, I fixed this shitty code, real shitty, inlined some shit and shaved off some other shit and it was fixed...
The reviewer says we'd better request a review from the dude that's actually responsible for that piece of shit code - what the fuck...
Here comes this bossy fucker saying they don't really understand that shit so they don't know for sure if there could be a better way...
Me, ignorant as always, popped a vessel figuring out a cleaner way.
I tell those sick fucks that we'd need to change some shit over at another repository, also maintained by the latter turd.
The latter turd says they like my second suggestion better, to which I reply,
'ok, I agree.'
In my mind that pull was done, should be closed and water under the bridge but oh how clueless I was...
SIX FUCKING MONTHS later the same shitbag pops out of god knows where asking if I still wanted to work on the pull....
"Motherfucker, my pull was for this fucking code, not for doing work on the other, obviously I'm not interested in doing that or else I would've opened a pull there instead of here, dumb-dumb" - I thought
Thou what I said was:
"No, I don't. I agree it's a problem better solved at the other repository."
Maybe I was a bit mean, was I? I don't know, honestly, people confuse me2 -
maybe I'm a simpleton, but I've just found out about LuaJIT's string.buffer and I'm procrastinating the heck out of it right now 🤤🤤🤤8

A chick asked how much I earn, and I politely declined to answer.
She seemed annoyed and insisted, nudging me by saying how much she earns.
Again I told her I'd rather not say.
She got mad, started trying to emotionally blackmail me into telling her my salary...
This must be a red flag cuz I don't give two fucks about how much money people I date earn/have and expect them to either respect or share my view9 -
man that whole lua shit from neovim really went overboard
like seriously, that shit used to be for msgpack/RPC and they've literary made it default then built-in and now the whole fucking remote protocol's silently rotting 🪰 away...
A software fuckup so massive the fucking editor now needs 2 running instances so their "lua kink" can keep going.
No wonder fucking denops was born

only thing keeping me there's tree sitter but once that gets inside vim/vim it's byebye fuckers2
