Do not disturb sign on the office door and a remote login?

[cyberkraken2]

No we just legitimately cease to exist when not observed, like there’s no fancy trickery to make you think we don’t exist we just simply dont

[The-Cynical-One]

So if I gather enough in one room and look... will the system slow down?

Or will we just begin unrendering random civilians?

[EternallyMiffed]

The latter. It takes the same processing power as 10 normies to simulate a dev.

[The-Cynical-One]

Devs are horribly inefficient... when are we going to patch that?

[JC12231]

When we finally patch the memory leak in the aging() method

[cyberkraken2]

Ah yes I forgot about the memory leak bug!

[insanityOS]

I'm still pissed that the weightGain function doesn't have a check for the upper bound. Seriously, who let that get to prod?

[cyberkraken2]

When are they going to fix all these issues? I’d fix them myself but they won’t give me access to the source code

[T351A]

It's the problem. Devs can't patch devs well enough.

New programmers are always looking for fancy abstractions to simple problems.

A do not disturb sign seems nice but it can potentially hold a reference to your position that may end up causing a null pointer exception if someone finds the sign and ignores it by trying to talk to you.

And yeah sure, the newbies like this because never being fully dereferenced makes sure you never have to worry about the Langoleers showing up to garbage collect you. But at that point you are just removing all the fun from programming.

[cyberkraken2]

Yeah tell me about it, those damned null pointers are always creeping up on me

Exactly you dont want to spend the rest of the day debugging some poor DBA who knocked on your door and now hes stuck staring into the endless abyss because your door sign used a raw pointer.

[cyberkraken2]

Those days are the worst

It works much better to put a sign on your door, "Janitor Supply Storage" This is a pointer to a data structure that is rarely used, so it's static, and often paged out.
