"how to kill a daemon"
“Delete table from snowflake”
This is the best meme I've seen on DEV 😂
This is me 💯
Haha, feel you on that one 😂
current status
Let's start with an awful AI-generated meme
...faster than zig? Damn, that's a lot of confidence, considering the language isn't even as polished as it intends to be 🤭
Faster than nocode?
Assembly?
Funny thing, I've also heard that "very clearly written/self-explanatory" quote from senior devs. Normally the ones you don't want to work with, you know, those who leave the company right after delivering their beautifully uncommented code for others to maintain.
Funny thing, some of the best code I have reviewed had no comments or other documentation.
It was just good code that was self-explanatory.
Some of the worst code I have reviewed had a ton of comments and documentation - it needed it, since it made no sense.
So as I am concerned good code > documentation.
I agree "Good Code > Documentation".
Unfortunately, the idea of "self-explanatory" varies from person to person, and especially, from experience level to experience level. What may be clear to one developer may not be so self-explanatory to another. You can have the most amazing, beautifully crafted, perfectly architected, self-explanatory code, but if the next person doesn't understand it... then it's not so amazing or self-explanatory anymore.
So why not extend that a bit: "Documented Good Code > Good Code > Documentation."
True tales of horror from my own youthful past:
Same as above, except with "DELETE"
... in client's production.
I'm better for it, but could have done without it.
Eh, it’s a rite of passage…you’re not really a dev until you break something important at the worst possible time…
Or so I’m told… 😁
Rollback
"we didn't just delete the entire user accounts table on mainnet did we?"
"rollback"
"it's blockchain, there's no rollback - it's live on mainnet for everyone to see, forever."
