PSA for people who #code:

Looking stuff up does NOT make you bad at coding.

"Not having to look up stuff" is NOT the benchmark for a good coder, especially as coders have to look up stuff ALL THE TIME!

And I don't mean highly advanced stuff, but stuff like "How does division work again?" or "What's that function called?" or my personal favorite "How to I nest for loops in list comprehensions?".

It's ok if you have to look up stuff!

Re: Reality Winner

We have every reason to criticize the opsec of everybody involved but I wanna make clear that her heart was in the right place and that the document that she leaked *needed* to be leaked.

If I was in her situation, I would also want to leak that document. And I probably wouldn't, because I'd be too worried.

Poor opsec makes for an easy target but I want to make it clear that she did a brave important thing here.

i actually refer to it as LinOS/GNUNIX

"Python is so great! It's such an easy and accessible langage for beginners and has such a great doc!"

Well... Here are screenshot of my experience while coatching someone new to programming and try to uses the available ressources.

This is really miserable and only good for people who are already super advanced and this is written in such a unnecessary complex way :(

I really have no idea on who are supposed to understand that beside super advanced devs.

You are a legendary adventurer in D&D who just used a wish spell to "Experience the true reality." You open your eyes and are standing on top of a table being stared at, wide-eyed, by a group of teens.

we have all the logistical data and infrastructure necessary to provide for the material needs of all people, full stop. we could abolish prices on every survival commodity and we wouldn't run out of anything. food, housing, medicine. supply systems are documented and understood. demand is tracked and calculated. we could just drop the price tag and go on like nothing else had changed. we are that productive. scarcity is that fake.

you're a necromancer? cool, i'm a snek romancer. a regular casanaga
