no Google

I do not believe you.

Arch Linux

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.

Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?

Is psychopatl an Aztec insult I don't know about?

Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...

This is psycopathy?

Having actual competence in one's field?

Oh god we're all doomed, they'll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

EDIT:

Welp, I'm sure thats a good sign, lol.

I use:

• DuckDuckGo
• Neovim
• ~~rusty~~ dusty IdeaPad
• ~~Arch~~ NixOS btw

I don't read man pages but I read documentation.

Am I also a psychopath?

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

Vim ftw!

Raw dogging development

I still remember my Masters degree in distributed computing. C++ in vi (not even vim), monochromatic display, 36 computers working together to give me a bunch of SIGSEGV.

I was going to ask how he knew it was Arch, but I feel like that is just setting up the next comment.

I had an internship 15 years ago where I was forced to write C++ with no internet access. I had to use a programming manual and man pages.

I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

The true psychopaths are those sweating about which tools other people use

That's impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.

imagine programming on an electric computer. i exclusively generate punch cards for crank operated adding machines

Just straight up raw-dogging it

My cycle goes : think think think, draw, think, draw, think, write code for a day or 3.

I use an ide or a text editor. never use that other stuff.

Back in my day we would program using office hole puncher and going to a library every time we needed to look up some API information.

I still use emacs
