Now find the missing semicolon I won’t tell you where it should be.

You’re right! It is! Well, at least this one https://pbfcomics.com/comics/weeaboo/

It often also takes the ability to tease out what things the code is connected to and organizing that information in ways that are useful for making changes without breaking everything.

How often are you reinstalling your OS? Maybe that’s where your frustration should go.

solving puzzle after puzzle

That about sums it up for me. Figuring something out lets out the good brain chems. The opposite sucks, though, getting stuck on something, especially when it’s something small that I was just too tunnel visioned to see.

I inherited ansible that always used maps instead of lists and it drove me up the wall. Still untangling that.

So a bunch of exclusive games get stuck on it like they did with the PSP? I hope not.

Lack of fedoras.

How else are you going to open your files in nano to do the programming on the prod server?

Plus it has markers for variable types just like Esperanto has suffixes for parts of speech. Wall was a linguist, after all.

Esperanto always struck me as more perl-like with each part of speech having its own suffix like perl has $ for scalars, @ for arrays, and % for hashes. Though perl is probably more like a bunch of pidgins…

Production errors.

LGTM (lunatic gunner targeting me)

You want an award? I hate working with JSON without a prettier.

A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.

So it’s easy to enforce locally but you don’t have to. And it’s easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what’s going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it’s bad? Like there are legit reasons it’s bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.

YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces

I think that’s a user thing and it doesn’t happen if you have a linter enforce 2 or 4.

My conversations here must not count, nor have they improved my opinion.

Ok.
