Alt: Outdoor picture of my dog looking at me through my office window, elevated by a computer chair.

My brown and white Border Collie, sitting on my computer chair looking outside through the window.

He just sits there and waits for me to come home.

Without looking at the sub and image in detail I thought you made a programming language (it runs on 1 billion devices btw!) sentient.

Is he a Welsh collie? If so,he likely took the name as an instruction and is telling you he’s ready to start coding.

Plot twist, he's making sure you leave. Than he swivels around and opens Doghub.

I thought you meant that you made some kind of bot in Java that figured out how to control something you connected to it

But no, you named your dog Java

His full name is actually JavaScript, it's what's written on his tag.

[-] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Ah, a totally different programing language

Holy shit my childhood dog was named Java never thought I'd hear another one! She was a pomeranian chihuahua mix, short hair, really loving and quiet

Oh wow! Yeah it's a rare name πŸ˜„ I've met a few mochas, cappuccinos and the likes, but not another Java.
