I often use only the curser to code. I prefer to drag and drop letters from a virtual keyboard into my IDE.

I used to work with a guy who would, genuinely, use the mouse to copy and paste individual characters.

I worked with a diplomated software engineer and that idiot couldn't even set up his own computer.

This whole branche is cursed...

I do most of my cursing during preliminary test...

Why is the 🫣 emoji censored?

It reminds people that negative things exist and that isn't good for business.

Psychopatl is a word from nahuatl?

only in the uto-aztecan dialects. lol

Two scenarios:

A) nixCraft could tell it's vim from a mere look – in which case they're a "psychopath" themselves.

B) this is completely made up.

[-] barubary@infosec.exchange 15 points 2 days ago

C) It's an obvious joke.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

You mean like we all did if you’re like me and started writing code in late 80s to mid 2000s?

Fucking amateurs…

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, but to fair, we had comprehensive manuals.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

I remember these.…

And …

And…

And now, this:

Cover page of The Rust Programming Language, Second Edition

[-] OldMrFish@lemmy.one 2 points 3 days ago

That C book was still used when I studied software engineering in the 2010s. It was even considered a 'modern' C book because it had been updated to include ANSI C...

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

For the Atari ST, although I actually preferred Hisoft Basic.

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 3 points 3 days ago

had comprehensive manuals

You must not have coded for DOS.

[-] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

At home, Atari ST and at work IBM System/38 where the manuals had their own office.

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 2 points 22 hours ago

I had an Atari 800, and the manual for it was pretty complete.

At office in 1991 I started programming for IBM PCs in DOS, that was a big step into the void.

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 2 points 3 days ago

In the late 80s there were no man pages, we had a 50 page paper manual - and it was mostly useless.

[-] bskm@feddit.nu 6 points 3 days ago

This is the way

~~Which app is this? Never seen the chat icon at the bottom in fediverse clients.~~ didn't know nixcraft was on twitter

[-] Beryl@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

I saw this on Mastodon if that helps
