can’t decide if it’s soothing or infuriating to learn/realize that, despite insane wealth causing him to get billionairebrain, he’s also always been quite the dim fuckwit
That’s just being good at programming
wut
That’s just being good at bootlicking
So as a programmer I was a little offended but then I remembered I’m not good so I’ll let it slide.
That’s probably a mark of an actually good programmer.
Yea a plane hijacking is totally like a buffer overflow.
Bleeding is also a bit like a buffer overflow, since blood goes in a place it’s not supposed to. Hurricanes are another example of a buffer overflow. Accidentally wearing a shirt inside out? Buffer overflow. Unskippable ads are buffer overflow. War is buffer overflow. I had my buffer overflown by some guy claiming to be a wallet inspector. Aliens are a type of buffer overflow. I sometimes have buffer overflow with my girlfriend. Buffer overflow was an inside job. I put too much shine paste in my polishing machine and you better believe that was a buffer overflow.
When a train crashes into a station building, that’s not a buffer overflow, though. That’s a buffer overrun.
What the hell.
I would like to think I’m a decent developer. I know what I’m talking about when it comes to code.
I do not know what I’m talking about in other fields. So I don’t speak like I know what I’m talking about there.

Prff typical manager mindset here.
I also had some extremely cringeworthy and not-even-wrong opinions 23 years ago, but at least I was 3yo then.
I maintain that we should all aspire to be a firetruck when we grow up.
I wanted to be a train.
Freight or passenger?
Passenger! I wanted to drive people to their cool vacations and whatnot. Also passenger trains go vroooom and freights are like super slow and lame, and carry coal or some other boring stuff.
See, I’d be a freight train.
Towing hundreds of cars of things from place to place, and blocking railroad crossings for hours making people wait for me to move past? I’m all for the annoy-other-people-while-doing-a-vital-job life.
We had different childhoods
