Dude is burnt out in 6 years? I’ve been doing it 25+ professionally and still love it, started as a kid writing basic with the line numbers.

Hmm, i better check my freezer

I’ve been seeing a lot of Perl jokes lately and as far as legacy code I haven’t had to edit anything written in that in 25 or so years. For those that haven’t used it, getting form variables and rudimentary things like that were like equivalent to regular expressions, everything had some obscure expression you had to look up or copy paste.

Copied basic code out of computer magazines, read a DOS 3.1 book cover to cover in the 80s as a kid. Just always drawn to it. Today I wrote some bicep code to allow my dev team to access the key vault in the lower environments but not the upper. I’ve done Vb6, flash actionscript, objective c, Java, C#, python, C++, SQL, ruby, spingboot, jquery, angular, react, Perl, PHP, VBA, Foxpro, T-SQL, and many other languages.

It’s still fun.

I’m pretty sure there’s a mechanism that makes your votes “shadow votes” that you can see but don’t count if you just downvote everything. E.g. make a new account and go to your profile and up or down vote everything, go back to that account, you likely won’t see all the votes.

Meanwhile I get spammed 100s daily from asian job posting systems that I mark as spam/unsubscribed and they still come through. Apparently it’s all a scam to show need for H1B visas?

I bet they throw this at him 20 times a day and he always does what they say and afterwards they still say it again about something else, I think it’s exasperation.

Glad they worked it out, go wings!

Third vote for brother, it’s been a few years and my wife and kids print all the time, I haven’t had to buy more ink yet. Can print from iPhone no problem.
