Your job is to do your tasks in the most efficient way possible. You actually harm the company by doing unnecessary busywork instead of using the best tools available.

Is that because most of your recipes are from the US?

Nice to see some OC on here! (And it’s also funny :) )

Well, there’s this place:

My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/ and /m/).

EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).

This is pretty awesome and it shows how far .NET has come in recent years.

Another one of my C# articles, this time about Nullable.

Due for the iPhone is excellent. It's a reminder app that nags you every five minutes until you get The Thing™ done. Before I started using it, I had a problem with forgetting reminders once they appeared. This never happens anymore and I actually manage to get some things done!

This is an older article of mine I wrote when C# was still my main language.

I don’t know if posting my own content is allowed here - if not, feel free to remove it, no hard feelings.

Programming and Humility (programming.dev)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by sisyphean@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev

This is something I’ve been wondering about for a long time. Programming is an activity that makes you face your own fallibility all the time. You write some code, compile it or run it, and then 80% of the time, it doesn’t work exactly the way you imagined. There’s an error message, or it just behaves incorrectly. Then you need to iterate on it and fix the issues until you get the desired result, and even then it’s subtly wrong, and causes an outage at 3am on Sunday.

I thought this experience would teach programmers to be the humblest people in the world.

I can’t believe how wrong I was. Programmers can be the most arrogant dickheads you will ever meet. Why is that?

While not strictly related to programming, this is very surprising and harmful behavior that demonstrates how important thinking about edge cases is.

Wow… did he not know about the multiplication operator?
