i use they/he professionally (and on here for consistency) (my in-person pronouns are different) and let's be clear this is entirely because i want people to use they but don't want them to make a deal out of it if they don't want to for some reason (i work with a lot of very religious countries)

lmao a tool i'm using as reference has something like this in its source:
// hardcoded kernel's limit is 16MB
but i had a bug in my code and i blew past this limit by 5 times… and it worked!
in the tool's source, there's no reference to where exactly the limit is defined… don't trust everything!

the "i'm not even going to try" thing! i think they think they're being respectful by not mangling the name
it was even featured at certain events i went to recently. like. take five fucking minutes and ask the person how to say their name before you go on stage to introduce them.

So many people earnestly replying they thought he was better than this. WHY!? Why did you think the rich man was your friend? Your pain means less taxes for him. You fucking fool! He's a billionaire. He's a money junkie! "I hope this addict chooses me over his habit" you fucking numbskulls!!!!
Mark Cuban is against universal healthcare??? But I thought he was one of the good billionaires 😔

Anyway that really fucked me off, on what was a pretty triumphant day where I presented a from-scratch rewrite of psql (the postgres cli tool) with better features. We spend all our time in databases and having a good portable tool is essential.

Look if you come to a project I make available for free and say it's bad and I'm a bad programmer I'm just going to kick you out actually. Would you go to someone's house they opened for free and spit in the food? Wild behaviour.
