I can remember Shakesville fondly for being a place where I learned a lot about intersectionality, feminism, and racism, but toward the end.....it was pretty yikes. I am excited to shove popcorn in my face as I read that article (which is more productive than staring empty-eyed at my Rails environment which is being a fuck.)
The comments about C being so close to the metal made me laugh because my most recent quarterly security training involved not one, but two videos about how to avoid memory corruption when programming in C by cleaning up your memory usage!
Tech we use at my job: Python, Rails, SSMS Tech we do not use: Anything in fucking C
And imagine me, someone whose programming experience is *entirely* at the Rails and SQL level, staring at this video like "what the fuck even IS that syntax????"
Anyway I had to share that with someone, lol. (My Rails environment is in RubyMine, which is a variation of JetBrains, and the single most useful thing it offers me is the ability to step through code and peek into variables to see what they say without writing a billion print statements.)
