Came across this small collection of saved IRC quotes while clearing out old
GitHub gists of mine. Figured I may as well post them here. IIRC most of these
are from #proggit on FreeNode probably from 2010-2015.
<eck> QOTW, "Rob, I'm sure you're focused on recovering things at the comment.
When the dust settles, you might want to ask your team how "PHP",
"personal www dir" and "business critical app" were ever grouped together."
<eck> this is on a ticket i'm handling
<unknown> The strengths of Go to me seem to be its extensive standard library
and the fact that you don't need to worry about writing elegant code
because it's not really an option.
<ryan> I hope some day in the near future linus torvalds is on film taking a
shit in front of the door to a canonical office pointing to it and saying
"THIS IS WHAT YOU DID TO MY BABY!"
<thoughtpolice> FML
<thoughtpolice> i'm totally getting bitten by this linux leapsecond futex bug
<x[LGWs4x4i]uG2N0> ha ha
<x[LGWs4x4i]uG2N0> he uses linux
<x[LGWs4x4i]uG2N0> laughinggirls.jpg
<greghaynes> thoughtpolice: details prease?
<dforsyth> laughingelfman.jpg
<greghaynes> that sounds like a fun bug
<thoughtpolice> i'm sorry, i can't hear you over your freebsd sucking so bad
<thoughtpolice> and not supporting any hardware
<thoughtpolice> also did i mention sucking?
<Two9A> Why do you think JS writers go insane?
<Two9A> (Because they're writing lisp and don't know it, but that's by the by)
<hfaafb_> what?
<Two9A> What?
<hfaafb_> js === lisp?
<sixthgear> haha
<sixthgear> the === is a brilliant touch
<mux> it'd be easier to teach a duck to sing than to have any kind of meaningful
"static typing" in php
<null__> @quote kisses
<lambdabot> reppie says: would you say kisses mark the minutes on the dial of love
<lambdabot> Erik-Naggum says: You have failed to consider the ramifications of
the solutions and pose a problem that simply would not exist if you
did. This taxes my patience, which is already legendary in its
general absence.
<Vellos> Sometimes nature fucks over your double-helix a bit, and the region of
your brain dedicated to handling all that social bullshit in realtime
got re-purposed to analytical thinking
jorts69: [The worst thing about becming an adult is] that feeling that you spent
your whole life tapping the world on the shoulder and when it finally
turned around you forgot what you had to say.
mattijle: "I am an energetic self starter with a deep respect for engaging
resources and getting deep buy-in. I'm always interested in being a
key player and helping you gain synergistic value on your
mission-critical project. It's important to think outside of the
box, shift paradigms and push the envelope when bringing user-centric
change to an organization. When I'm involved it's about about the
value add and creating a win-win. In this economic climate you have
to rightsize but remain scalable and always deliver service that is
world class"
<sirpengi> git gets easier once you get the basic idea that branches are
homeomorphic endofunctors mapping submanifolds of a Hilbert space
<rcr> i never have a hard time with merge conflicts because my code is always
the most correct
<saml> when you pull retina display, that means it's yolo webscale
<saml> stack solves everything. that's why mongodb is a stack
<rcr> i think we should implement a new rule here
<rcr> for all new commits, git show | grep pdb
<rcr> if it returns anything you dont get paid this week
<thoughtpolice> today, at least, if someone tries an active MITM on a popular,
high-value site, it will almost certainly be detected by Google
or Mozilla as it auto reports this. they then remove the CA from
their trusted list, effectively taking that CA out back, putting
it on its knees and letting it grovel a bit, and then shooting
them in the head
<centrinia> Go is fail.
<shoenig> @slap centrinia
<lambdabot> Come on, let's all slap centrinia
<hfaafb> @slap centrinia
* lambdabot pulls centrinia through the Evil Mangler
<centrinia> :(
<centrinia> @slap Go
* lambdabot would never hurt Go!
<shoenig> exactly.
<centrinia> What the fuck?
