    Yes

  • How OP probably felt:

  • What are some of your favourite developer tools?

    Jump

  • A shell script to create shell scripts.

    Basically, it takes a file name, then creates a .sh file, and puts the shebang #!/use/bin/env bash into it.

    Very simple, yet it saves me from having to manually do it every time.

  • How do you cope with tinnitus? I suddenly developed one a few days ago and am devastated.

    Jump

  • I've had it for as long as I can remember, so I'm pretty used to it. However, sometimes it gets really bad for a bit and it's annoying.

    I'm not too bummed about not experiencing true silence as I listen to music most of the time anyway.

  • Shell scripts. The power of automation is amazing.

  • Say you have some downtime with no obligations today. What are you going to spend your free time doing?

    Jump

  • Programming and playing games

  • let's get controversial with the holiday question's.

    Jump

  • "Any object or objects that is "sandwiched" (i.e. surrounded in the middle) by another object or objects can be classified as a sandwich."

    Tacos, hotdogs, burritos, hell even sushi, are all sandwiches.

  • What do you do for fun

    Jump

  • Write code and play games. I'm currently hyper fixating on Satisfactory right now, and it's fun.

  • What do you use for your personal photos/videos backups? Cloud service? Local external drive? Etc

    Jump

  • I don't have photos or videos worth keeping, so I don't back them up. If the data gets lost, oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • What major projects are you working on?

    Jump

  • One of my main projects (framed_text) is pretty much complete and now has entered maintenance mode, where I'll mainly fix bugs and only add something if I need it.

    However, I've started work on a Logging Python package that allows for full customization of the log text (How its structured), whether to log it to the console, a file, or both. Plus a timer for timing code execution (TBD).

    Mainly making it for my sake, but I'll upload it anyway in case someone else wants to use it. (That's basically my programming philosophy)

  • Do you use vim?

    Jump

  • For quick edits in the terminal? Sure.

    As my main IDE? No way. I'm too used to GUI IDEs like VSCodium and PyCharm.

    I just find it easier to navigate with a mouse. With just keyboard, I find I overshoot the block of code I'm looking for, whereas scroll wheel gives me more control.

  • You're immortal and sent back to Dec 1945. How do you survive until modern day?

    Jump

  • Hide in a cave for an eternity then. If no one knows I exist, then I live forever.

  • What are you up to today?

    Jump

  • Chilling after a long day of programming. Piano music helps to destress from the work.

  • What's something interesting (to you) you'd like to share about your current hyperfixation/obsession? (Infodump safespace for both neurotypicals and neurodivergents)

  • When writing BASH scripts:

    • The .sh extension isn't necessary.
    • Using /usr/bin/env bash is better than /bin/bash as not everyone has their bash located in bin.
    • Try to use local variables when you can. If you use global variables that won't be used anywhere else, unset them at the end of your script.
    • Don't use set -euo pipefail. It will only cause more issues down the road.
    • Functions are your friend. If your repeating code, put it in a function.

    These are some of the tips I learned while learning bash.

  • What is your favorite type of visual art?

    Jump

  • Fractals, or any type of recursion.

    The results can be beautiful. My favorite part is knowing some type of formula makes up the image.

  • How do you say lmao?

    Jump

  • I just spell every acronym, so "lmao" becomes "l-m-a-o".
