A Programmer's True Love

Content 3 hr. ago People here do indiehobby dev as a pasion project. People are simply more passiomate working on their own ideas. No one wants to work for free on a project likely to never get released only to chase someone else's dream. 4 137 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow OP 3 hr. ago Uh, that last sentence is what I dreaded. I have no programming skills what so ever, but I have an almost complete game design ready. The next step is to get in touch with a former friend, who I lost contact with many years ago. He's a programmer. I'm hoping he'll jump on board on this project. The challenge is of course, as you imply, to make him feel a sense of ownership of the project as well, and not just doing my project. Wish me the best of luck on this, or else a big dream, that has been in the pipeline for years, will be dead. -136 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

The classic paradox that breaks every programmer's brain. The genie offers three wishes, but the clever human creates a logical contradiction by wishing the genie "doesn't grant this wish." If granted, it wasn't granted. If not granted, it was granted. Just like when your recursive function calls itself without a proper exit condition. The genie's brain is essentially hitting a stack overflow error as it tries to process this infinite logical loop. No amount of cloud computing can save this poor blue fellow from the ultimate edge case.

The classic software development Schrödinger experiment: tests are both passing and failing simultaneously until you observe the coverage. Sure, the GitHub badge proudly shows green with "Tests passing" - technically not lying. Meanwhile, the 0% coverage badge silently screams "we wrote exactly ONE test that checks if true equals true." The digital equivalent of putting a single piece of tape over your check engine light and declaring the car "fully serviced."

Oh. My. God. The absolute TRAVESTY that is modern web development! Look at this abomination - everything is just a <div> soup now! HTML purists over here using semantic tags like civilized humans while the "agile & dynamic" crowd is just slapping <div> tags on LITERALLY EVERYTHING like they're going out of style! 💅 Want to create a navigation menu? That's a <div>. Need a blockquote? ANOTHER <div>! Creating a responsive grid? Let's throw in some <span> tags just to spice things up! Screen readers are SCREAMING in digital agony right now! Accessibility? Never heard of her! 🙄
