This guy fucks^

In my opinion this is a problem with the internet in general, younger people tend to crave attention and often receive the most online because of the anonymous platform it gives them.

As I approach 35 I find myself half writing comments and deleting them because I don't fucking care. This time I will press send

Yeah, if something in my life frustrates me, be it coding or otherwise, I search for solutions online and complain to friends "offline", If I ever thought of making content, it would be on solutions I found of things that frustrated me,. and I'm not even that old.

It's 2023, why does your language have semicolons at all?

Explicitly constructing your intentions are features of a language.

I LOVE types. I LOVE semi colons. I LOVE compiler errors.

Why? Because the ALTERNATIVE is finding (if you're lucky) unexpected behaviour at run-time.

I promise, I promise SO HARD, that memes about semi colons or "my code doesn't compile" are GREAT problems to have.if that's what's making you sad, your life is good and you're getting paid 10x too much.

They pay me more money than all of the other Devs because I'm the only guy willing to take on our existing stacks usage of shudders JavaScript. Most Devs I meet straight up refuse to learn it, let alone code in it.

Semicolons are optional in JavaScript unless you are combining multiple statements on a single line, which is generally not something you should be doing anyway.

I avoid them whenever possible. It encourages people to write poorly formatted code. But then I'm a python dev so I tend to be opinionated when it comes to whitespace.

Just use an opinionated code formatter in your per-commit automation. Fewer people get cut and noone gets sick with linting issues.

last week I had misconfigured my auto-format and it was leaving commas and whitespaces. The amount of "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???" comments I got were of the chart.

There was a linter in place, I literally could not merge unless the issues were fixed, yet people felt compelled to point them out.

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

I have vscode, I'm just following the tutorial and this particular software works with uploading to the pi and runs the code and I didn't want to get distracted following other ones about how to shift those functions to other software, I just wanted to play

Does vscode work with the pi out of box?

I will never understand people in programming who do stuff in tedious/inefficient ways without stopping to consider the alternatives. 9/10 if it feels stupid, it probably is.

Very clever
