I’ve only been programming seriously (for work) in the last two years and honestly don’t get the copy pasting memes. I get copy pasting a 1-3 line terminal snippet sometimes, but idk how people are getting away without actually writing their own code.


Rclone is superior IMHO, you have to explicitly name the output folder. Used to think it was a hassle but in hindsight being explicit about the destination reduces mistakes.


I use GNU find every day and still have to google about the details. Only learnt about - delete the other day, good to know the position matters.


Wouldn’t syncing automatically every few days give you the same protection though?


Did woodworking before I started software engineering, and I feel like the general attitude to craftsmanship applies well to coding.


Just want to add that if you find a rare ebook not on libgen, do you civic duty and take the time to upload it, it only takes a few minutes and it’s rewarding being able to save some time for others.


People write regex in notepad and complain it doesn’t work on the first try…



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.
