I Don't Always Test My Code

That desperate look when your code suddenly stops working and you're frantically trying to convince your team it was literally running fine yesterday. No git commit to back you up. No screenshots. Just your increasingly unhinged testimony and the growing suspicion that you're either hallucinating or lying. The digital equivalent of "the dog ate my homework" but with more existential dread and caffeine.

When you're debugging that impossible issue and everyone around you just looks like a bunch of identical rubber ducks! The meme perfectly captures the practice of "rubber duck debugging" where programmers explain their code to an inanimate rubber duck to find solutions.

So cargo watch gets deprecated in Rust and the replacement is bacon . Cool, fine, whatever. But then someone tries to use it with Bun (the JavaScript runtime that's trying to replace Node) and their gherkin—sorry, I mean gerkin , the Cucumber testing framework—starts throwing a fit. The beautiful chaos here is watching someone try to mix Rust tooling with JavaScript tooling while running Chai tests in a runtime that's basically speedrunning the "move fast and break things" philosophy. It's like ordering a bacon cheeseburger but the restaurant gives you a fish sandwich and your pickle is filing a complaint. Welcome to 2024, where we have so many tools that even their names sound like breakfast items and nobody knows what works with what anymore. Just wait until someone tries to run this with Deno and a side of Toast.

Content THIS IS GIT. IT TRACKS COLLABORATIVE WORK ON PROJECTS THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL DISTRIBUTED GRAPH THEORY TREE MODEL. COOL. HOW DO WE USE IT? NO IDEA.
