The Self-Sustaining Developer Ecosystem

Content Sheldon Chang sysop408sfba.social This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour. TwitterDown MastodonMigration DDOS TwitterFail SelfDDOS GIF tom GIF Jul 01, 2023, 10:03 Edited Jul 01, 12:02 0 17 137 10 ProgrammeHumor io

STOP THE PRESSES! The code editor has become the grammar police! 💀 While you're just trying to write some innocent game code with "wanna," the editor is clutching its digital pearls like you've committed a syntax WAR CRIME. Because CLEARLY the most important thing when you're debugging at 2AM isn't fixing that memory leak—it's making sure your comments are FORMAL ENOUGH for the Queen's royal approval. Next thing you know, your IDE will be demanding you wear a tie while coding. THE AUDACITY!

Someone asked how they knew this dev was using Codex (GitHub's AI code generator), and honestly, the evidence is damning. The function checks if something is a string by... checking if it's a string, then checking if it's an instance of String, then checking if it has a length property (because apparently strings weren't stringy enough yet), and if ALL of that fails, it returns true anyway. It's like writing a function to check if water is wet by testing if it's liquid, transparent, and makes things damp, then concluding "yeah probably wet." The beautiful irony? After this Olympic-level mental gymnastics routine, the function basically just returns true for everything except null and undefined. Could've been return value != null and called it a day. But no, AI decided we needed the director's cut with deleted scenes and commentary track.
