    We binge-watched the first half of season 2 of Bridgerton last night

    imo it was very similar to, but noticeably worse than, season 1, which is a bit of a bummer

    still watchable though

    The problem with the serious threads is that sometimes people disagree with me, but I’m obviously right and so I have no other recourse but to tell them to fuck off and die and then I am unjustly infracted :(

    I remember leaving our tv at work on (mandated by company policy) with something like Highly Questionable on ESPN2 and then I'd glance at it an hour later and it would be showing cornhole or drone racing league

    Daytime sports programming is kind of its own weird world

    Programmers are, on the whole, absolutely terrible communicators, terrible documenters, and will claim everything is "obvious" even after being pressed to explain their own work and finding themselves unable.

    It's unreal. Anyone who claims good code doesn't need comments is absolutely out of their mind. There is no such thing as fully self-documenting code. SOME code can be read like documentation, particularly well-made headers or REST endpoint descriptors in certain languages. But this is the exception rather than the rule.

    "Don't be concise, be clear" is my view on coding. Too many people trying to flex rather then write useful code that can be adapted/fixed/etc by later developers. And they learn this shit in school often too.

    I beat Elden Ring! It took me way longer than other people, ~150 hours (some of which was me getting summoned to help lfx with bosses, but only a few hours tbh)

    What a fantastic experience. Very satisfying.

    Now I'm like...huh, this has been all of my entertainment content for the past month. I haven't been reading or playing LoL or like...anything else. I kinda want to go back to playing LoL right now but I'm not sure. I see why people start NG+ but I think it's best if I don't and just wait for DLC.

    My linter complains about this:
    func Foo() { ... }
    

    The fix is:
    // Foo does stuff to things.
    func Foo() { ... }
    

    I consider this "self-documenting", in a manner of speaking -- the documentation is attached to the code.

    Go is also "self-documenting" in that the package documentation is generated from said comments. Example: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http

    I really don't like puzzles, is the problem. I was in Elden Ring for the combat and for the vibes. Exploration is nice but not entirely the point for me, I think.

    The other games that are sitting on my computer unplayed are:

    Psychonauts 2, Control, and Outer Wilds (I am willing to believe that it's good enough to overcome my distaste for puzzles but I'm a little worried)

    I almost want to restart Dark Souls 2 or 3 but I think that's wrong

    Oh shit wait I had just bought Warhammer Total War and was 25% into a campaign, maybe that?

    (I also still somehow have like 30% of Disco Elysium left from when I started it like 2 years ago and inexplicably can't bring myself to finish it or restart it)

    alternately: League of Legends, one million hours a day (...except I had instituted a whole thing about only playing 3-4 days a week, not every day, so I need to stick to that)

    The second code stops being written it incurs a maintenance cost, and there's no silver bullet to keep maintenance costs from spiraling out of control, just endless slog.

    I've always felt like reinventing the wheel was a code comments problem but the people who need the most help (i.e. ubfamiliar with software // domain) dont even read code comments or docs as far as I can tell (And I feel more RTFM layely but eh). Documented APIs and unit tests against 50-75% of them seem about as good as software quality gets on the internal software Ive done. Comments beyond some high level outline of why/how go to shit too fast without a draconian advocate forcing it in code review.
