Not op but yes, I actually do. Dev for about 20 years, and the vast majority showing vim/emacs struggle when presenting. Could be presentation jitters ofc but the answer to:
You think thousands of developers are handicapping themselves for bragging rights?
Yes, yes I do. Thousands is not all, but they are definitively in the thousands
“I like horses”. Proceeds and takes one of my horse with one of their horses. I take their horse with my pawn. “Don’t fuck with my horsies” I get as a response.
Two-three turns later (this was 20 years ago, forgive me) I can check them by grabbing the same horse with a bishop.
“Why dont you like my horsies”? I get as a response
I proceeded to check mate two turns after that. It was a competition, I proceeded to the semifinals after this. I lost that semifinal due to a skillful check mate including a horse to lock it down. And the person from the previous game leaned over at the end turn saying " that is my backup horse"
I laughed my ass off and I’m not sure I could get of the check situation but fuck I lost my focus
You are talking about synonyms here, and its highly subjective. The above poster has some good points with the more clear verbs but this whole end of the flow would work just as well as well with a “yes, I’m sure” and “no” instead of cancel
I personally think it’s a bit of a fallacy to equal structure with less creativity.
Look at Calatrava https://duckduckgo.com/?q=calatrava&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images
Further, you can’t design something like the Burj Khalifa without creativity
Maybe the line goes where you are risking peoples life or not, maybe somewhere else. It still makes me sad that you equal programming with chaos. But that is very context driven. The drive for new software, new interfaces, new tech overall naturally breeds less oversight and less structure naturally ofc. But it doesn’t have to be that way, nor should it be if you ask me
Your notion of an engineer is correct in a wide sense

The fact that you feel programming is not that makes me sad. But likely dependent on what software and what you work with. For example, if you build software for NASA or Baxter and dialysis machines and the likes, you’ll get fired fast for not being structured. Working for Elon Musk and Twitter… Well…
Great to hear you focusing on accessibility! I’m on my phone and can’t type everything that should be mentioned but I’ve found that this article helps many developers I’ve worked with understand what’s expected and how to think

But overall, yeah, you should be able to test and verify this yourself. User testing is always valuable but they are also users, and are more or less proficient in these programs themselves so feedback can vary a lot.
If you want users, reaching out to organizations or social media groups that deal with impairment in different ways can probably help you find someone who’s willing
mmm salty soup
This looks like javascript so let me guess the typescript definition
any|unknown
this is a joke, please chill
Here is one of the programmers who is quantum ready as well
“Old”. Not sure I would classify anything from this side of 2020 as old tbh
WASM is great and as it becomes more accessible it will likely take over more and more
OPs meme is just a sign of someone not understanding the softer parts around development. The meme also seems to forget that we tried java in the browser for two decades and it was just… Horrible from all perspectives, in all layers
