We need to make this @cheese_greater@lemmy.world’s top comment of all time.

Uninflammable

Growing up I always learned (I think) the “insert missing text” symbol was shaped like the one in the pic, like a caret symbol.

The odd thing is I also remember the caret and inserted word being at the top like in OP’s image, but style guides I can find now show the caret at the bottom and the inserted text at the top.

Wikipedia seems to indicate using a downward facing caret, or a caret with an extra upward arm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret_(proofreading)

TIL!

All that to say the formatting of OP’s pic, no matter the direction of the arrow/caret, makes it hard to read. A little “don’t dead open inside” or something.

Edit to add: This one shows it the way I remember it https://dmlfnsgrade9isawesome.weebly.com/editing1.html

Anyone who does will give you the “my brother” nod of approval

That’s why agile was created. Because people don’t know what they want in panel 1.

Yeah, it requires replacing the “you test the rocket” with “you test the rocket and it fails or doesn’t meet the updated mission specifications” and the “you go to mars” with “you want to go to mars”

Bah, I was there. .jif was barely used and came 5 years after. They should have used a different name!

Gagascript. One is soft, one is hard.

It doesn’t matter what it stands for. That’s not how acronyms work.

You don’t say “yolwa” for “YOLO”
You don’t say “Ah-ih-dees” for “AIDS”
You don’t say “britches” for “BRICS”
You don’t say “sue-knee” for “CUNY” (City University of New York) Etc.

And if you want to argue specifically about G:
You don’t say “Jad” for “GAD” (generalized anxiety disorder)
You don’t say “joes” for “GOES” (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite)

It’s not a hill I’m going to die on, I use both pronunciations, but the only argument I’ve ever believed for the proper one is that the creator pronounced it “jif”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#Pronunciation

Now let’s talk about “gibs” you heathens.

GIF like Geoffrey the giraffe, if you get my gist. Always has been.

This account looks pretty sus. Lots of click-bait and rage-bait questions and contradictions in a short time.

Most of the shenanigans are with ink printers, no?

Send him a pigeon, duh!

Who?

I haven’t heard of this. I make my personal websites from scratch in html and css using notepad++. I should probably modernize…

Username checks out

Not git, Perforce, but I used to have a guy on my team that would do weeks of work without checking in. 1000s of lines in 10s of files.

I gave him shit for every code review, every time we had 1-on-1s, and while he was doing his tasks. Nothing got through to him.

So I just kept dragging him back on check-ins. I’d nitpick the shit out of every line (and normally I hated that.) His stuff would inevitably break the build or be full of bugs anyway (duh) so I never felt bad that I was holding back his career since he was never getting things done “on time.”

If you can’t/won’t break your work down into smaller chunks you aren’t a skilled programmer and/or don’t have respect for the people you work with who have to review your shit.

What’s the over/under on Venezuela being next?
