programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is

Maybe there wouldn't be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY "powerwolf112", who hasn't answered a single message in GitHub since 2021????

For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

found this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance

Since this was originally a Mastodon post, here it is :)

It's fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)

Is the fediverse starting to get rolled into the mainstream content farm. Might help our cause and get more people on the bandwagon.

I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.

Literally Plato's Cave.

Yeah usually we just go from Tumblr to Fedi. This is kinda interesting.

Turns out the content holds the value, and the hosting platform is a mostly replaceable and interchangeable delivery mechanism. Who would've thunk?

Heh, had already boosted, liked and bookmarked it, nice! πŸ˜„

I had no idea that Tumblr was active again? I thought all Tumblr posts from the past 5 years were just recycled old stuff.
