What kind of maniac posts a screenshot of their code instead of the code itself to ask for help tho

[-] Deiv@lemmy.ca 123 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Someone fishing for compliments about their IDE setup

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 21 points 10 months ago

I only accept photographs of the screen

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 16 points 10 months ago
[-] grue@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Make sure to print them out and re-photograph them on a wooden table!

Uses vim

copies console text feed

Evil knows no bounds >:)

[-] gamma@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

With embedded terminal escapes? True evil indeed.

[-] QuazarOmega@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Indeed, how else will everyone see my glorious solarized light theme?

On stackoverflow, they will answer aggressively: "Don’t post picture of code

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 50 points 10 months ago

That's like common sense

[-] passably9@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago
[-] Goathound@kbin.social 19 points 10 months ago

Finally a good answer on that website

[-] mggnn@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Then, to fix it the user paste the code as text but with awful formatting. Then get another aggressive answer: "** DAMNIT, FORMAT YOUR CODE**"

[-] elxeno@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Then, when it's properly formatted, CLOSED AS DUPLICATE

[-] beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 10 months ago

Just run it through OCR. Super efficient! 😅

[-] Trobador@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Just leave it there tbh

[-] mister_monster@monero.town 50 points 10 months ago

If you send me a screenshot of your code I'm not helping you, sorry.

[-] Luvs2Spuj@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Seriously, what the fuck kind of animal does that.

[-] prayer@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago

IDEs are bloat. I write my code using command line and concatenating each line into the file.

[-] woof7939@iusearchlinux.fyi 32 points 10 months ago

Please, that’s way too high level, I move the file to a hdd, pull it out and then use a fridge magnet to change individual bits. Works like a charm.

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

Why write code when you can turn the transistors on and off yourself? I have a few thousand buttons connected to the CPU, and some homies and I open or close them on each clock cycle to feed it different instructions and inputs.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Oh, finally an ed user!

I use light mode. Compliments are not forthcoming.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Light mode is the best and I think a significant number of people who oppose it are students or hobbyists who only program outside of typical work hours. During work hours, I want bright light to keep me alert. And I work in a well lit office and home mostly during the time of day when there's lots of sunlight. Dark mode just doesn't make sense for professionals.

Plus, if even a single documentation site or Google search uses a light theme (and many do, especially by default), you risk blinding yourself with the sudden flash to light. By comparison, if I'm using light mode and something else is in dark mode, it doesn't hurt me at all.

[-] UnverifiedAPK@lemmy.ml 17 points 10 months ago

You can use Dark Reader for those sites. But I do get where you're coming from.

I'm not in an IDE all day every day, but there are dashboards that I keep in light mode to subconsciously signal to myself to be extra careful in. It's like how some Linux admins set their production shells to bright red.

[-] Racle@sopuli.xyz 15 points 10 months ago

Almost every professional developer that I know uses dark mode. Maybe 1% uses light mode and those are people who code in legacy environment.

And for web, you have Dark Reader 🤷 so no bright lights when browsing web.

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

SQL Server Management Studio still has no dark mode, although there is a hidden one that Microsoft really doesn't want you to use (I think you need to change a registry flag, also it sucks). But I think Azure Data Studio might.

I don't care what you prefer. But:

Dark mode just doesn't make sense for professionals.

Come on.

I use a dark, low contrast theme and work in a nearly unlit room with my monitors on nearly minimum brightness. It's comfortable and totally efficient. I understand wanting to switch to bright mode and use higher contrast when reading unfamiliar material, but code is not that. It is highly structured, repetitive (syntactically) and organized. So you can usually have a clear idea of what you're looking at without relying much on visual details.

you risk blinding yourself with the sudden flash to light

Only if your monitors are way, way too bright for your environment.

Joke's on you, first thing I do is closing the blinders in my office, when I come in to work.

But really, I just prefer dark themes. I can and will totally work with bright themes, if the GUI supports it, but if I have the choice, I chose dark themes wherever possible (e. g. Not for applications in bright sunlight). And yes, I work during daylight hours...

I love how you nailed the early 2000s shitty IDE aesthetic 😍

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 7 points 10 months ago

It just needs dark mode to turn it 2020s

[-] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 7 points 10 months ago

Oh my goodness, is that BlueJ? I haven't seen that thing in ages...

[-] happyhippo@feddit.it 17 points 10 months ago

Please, make sure to ALWAYS include line numbers.

Makes discussion much easier

You guys use IDEs?

/me coding in notepad

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago
[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 10 months ago

Can I tempt you over to Notepad++?

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I know it's been around for a long time now and offers some features that people like but I'm completely content with the simplicity that notepad provides.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

The emacs drip is just too real

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I spent 45 mins with ChatGPT trying to give me the quick resolve for something querying with M.

It ended with me telling ChatGPT that if it worked for me, it would be fired because it kept trying to reoptimise my query, resulting in syntax and load errors, then "fixing" them by ignoring my query's criteria.

I ended up going old school and taking an extra 30 mins to just figure it out myself. Now that I know how it's done, it's surprisingly easy to understand.

So I took that as a compliment; or ChatGPT just sucks at PowerQuery.

It probably learned, though. If anyone has transform queries around multi-level filtering criteria and ChatGPT helps, that's because of my suffering.

[-] Ceon@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Does chatGPT really learn from user inputs? I thought it was always restarting from the same base

[-] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

In each session, the last several thousand words (from the user and AI) are kept in a context buffer to be used as additional inputs for the neural network. But I don't think ChatGPT lets you choose the AI's responses for that buffer, so you can't really "train" it in any sense of the word. If you want that functionality, use LLaMa.

[-] usrtrv@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

It will eventually incorporate user inputs in the model. So yes it won't learn in real time from other users, but at some point those inputs will be fed back into itself.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

What kind of monster screenshots his code (I mean Unreal blueprints I understand out of novice) but actual C or java code!?

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

you should avoid posting pictures of code tho.

[-] quadropiss@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Whenever I show people a screenshot from my ide I get unironically bullied LMAO
