Welcome to November, and welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

Yeah, coding guides are everywhere (or used to be at least, more and more seem to be shutting down due to declining sales + increased costs due to scraping).

Never saw anybody offer a link to a guide like that.

Hell coding has Become a Programmer, Motherfucker which isn't just one guide, but an entire list of guides, and it even uses (old but checks out) meme to diversify itself from other people offering the same.

(I checked, the guy, despite still being on twitter, is still doing his thing trying to help people to learn how to code, his stance on AI wasn't totally clear after a short glance, he is however a gamer angry about bad UI implementations (I can totally relate)).
