Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen. (lemmy.world)

    Companies own the code you write.

    It's not your code if you're working for a corp - it's theirs.

    If someone else is paying you, you can write sloppy code. Got it.

    Psychopath

    Just because you don't own something doesn't mean you should trash it.

    First you insist that companies don't own the code then you say if you don't own it you don't have to care.

    God I hope I never work with an idiot like you.

    I don’t think I’m saying either of those things. I’m saying the opposite actually.

    You seem to be suggesting that even though you are responsible for writing code, the company should hire someone else to optimize it for you.

    [–] huginn@feddit.it 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

    Resources are just way cheaper than developers.

    It's a lot cheaper to have double the ram than it is to pay for someone to optimize your code.

    I don't see where you're reading that idea.

    It's a lot cheaper to double the ram ergo you do not have to pay someone to optimize your code.

    Where are you getting this bizarre inverse from?

    [–] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

    My point is, developers should be writing optimized code in the first place.
