I’d be in favour of that with anything written in Rockstar.

I don’t know if it’s true or just joke, but some of my friends when we are still in uni tell me that they are dreaming code
What they saw in their dream is everything like matrix movie & every object has its own class/deps printed on it, daaaang… that’s interesting, i wish i could dream like that too but with terminal/konsole access so i can debugging my dream

It’s not a joke. I had similar dreams when I was learning object oriented programming. When you really understand OOP, you see just how accurately it represents the structure of things. It’s pretty brilliant.

If you publish it on github, that’s already taken care of for you!

I would never paste code into a Word document. I use Notepad++ for that.

Honest to god, I’ve seen people from the past trying to write html for a website on Word.

True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.

After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)

The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.

I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.

In fairness websites from 2000-2004 werent all that better

Were there better ways to make a site? Absolutely, but it is much less wild than if you told me that this happened last week. Plus i would hope they were just churning out websites for cheap since a lot places didn’t have a website, or they used geocities/similar

Word? Not FrontPage? That was an improvement.

Did they not know that word can generate very convoluted HTML for them?

I started learning HTML at the age of 10 using FrontPage and Word. There were entire utilities dedicated to stripping out Word’s atrocious HTML at the time.

I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.

Used to work in a place where, to get credentials, a used would need to simple send an email from their mail servers and would be enough… One of them would write a fancy Please add used x letter, print it, have the Head of Whatever sign it, scan it onto non-OCR pdf, then mail it… joy.

I’ve always wished Markdown was better supported in email. I work with external companies’ APIs a lot where email is the medium, and typically I use a Windows monospace font for code snippets (I’m on macOS but there are a handful of monospaced fonts that work on both).

It’s very clunky, and I wish the backtick notation would work out of the box. Whoever decided HTML in email was the way to go should be shot.

I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.
