certainly it's a real behavior, but if I'm programming a shit-stirring bot, I'd make it act like a real life moron

Pretending to play D&D in a video game is more anxiety inducing than real life because I know the cold unforgiving programming doesn’t take pity on me the same way @b-tier-wizard.bsky.social does

I’m currently writing a script to the video which would summarize what I’ve been thinking about for several years now and experienced in real life.

How many things AI have ruined, how it made people dumber and lazier, how it negatively affected various programming communities…

Do u have a real perspective on life in ur life genuinely or are u just some patchwork of information memory & response programming

Bragging about this over here too because despite how difficult it's been to get all the programming n' stuff out for Perfect Home lately, I'm REALLY proud of being able to make so much progress on myself in-between some of the struggle.

I'm a hot catboy!! In real life!!!! It's crazy!!!!!! 🧡✨

Ohhhhh. Meow. There have been DEVELOPMENTS with how I've been pushing my workout routine lately.

Once I get a chance to take some pics and show off the fucking abs I have now, you guys are going to *totally* lose it. :3

As Gen Z seeks out phone-free experiences and extols going analog, some volunteer organizations have worked to recruit them and tailor programming to their interests.
Want real-life connection? Try volunteering, these Gen Zers say.
Some young people are turning to volunteering to get offline, as organizations see upticks in demand.

did they even consult any real-life objects before inventing object-oriented programming. i certainly would have told them it was a bad idea

I'm so tired of the ode to passion. I get it, I *get* it, I'm just so fucking tired of it.

Passion! Whatever buddy. REAL programmers have passion, no sleep hygiene, and snort meta-programming through a straw. REAL programmers hate AI, have no obligations in life, and treat IRC like a religion.

ok

You see a video called "The Worst Indie Game of 2025". As the narrator furiously recounts every programming error, every reason why the characters suck and the story makes no sense, you realize the game is about your actual real life so far.

seeing a lot of grokposting today in light of its programming being adjusted

just to be clear, we’re not @ing the chatbot just to get a response and make fun of it, right? that’s not something we’re doing? because that shit has real-life consequences.

It’s almost as if you can’t trust pseudo fictional scripted TV programming to represent what people are like in real life. The “you’re fired” guy is too scared to fire anyone himself and by never actually building stuff with his name on it has the same contracting knowledge as Ronald McDonald.

The only thing worse than being a permablimp is being given access to a brain-sync VR rig that, due to a quirk in its programming, leaves you just as helpless, spherical, and dazed as you are in real life

Me at 15: *speaking to algebra teacher* "I'll never need to use this math in real life."

So, GPT-5 was meant to be OpenAI's most powerful model ever, but it sounds like it's going to be a cobbled-together wrapper of models for "various tasks." This doesn't even sound new! I'm not even being a hater here, where is the hype here
GPT-5 shows improved performance in a number of domains, including the hard sciences, completing tasks for users on their browsers and creative writing, compared to previous generations of models. But the most notable improvement comes in software engineering, an increasingly lucrative application of LLMs, the person who's used it said. GPT-5 is not only better at academic and competitive programming problems, but also at more practical programming tasks that real-life engineers might handle, like making changes in a large, complicated codebase full of old code, the person said. That nuance has been something OpenAl's models have struggled with in the past, and is one reason why rival Anthropic has been able to keep its lead with many app-developer customers. But, as we've reported, OpenAl is more than aware of this issue and has been working in recent months to improve the coding capabilities of its models.

It seems like I’ve been counting on aew programming more and more for the distractions from real life. I believe that’s why they’ve had a surge in ppv buys. If you love wrestling, they deliver 10/10 times, you’re getting what you paid for.

So this is "sexually suggestive?" Has no one on your programming team ever seen a woman in real life?

Rare break from regular programming to state that, as a near-life long reader of this dead old french man, i have an unbelievable love-hate relationship with this comic. A real achievement.

From a Medium article: I code better in other languages now. Programming in Rust is like being in an emotionally abusive relationship. Rust screams at you all day, every day, often about things that you would have considered perfectly normal in another life. Eventually, you get used to the tantrums. They become routine. You learn to walk the tightrope to avoid triggering the compiler's temper. And just like in real life, those behavior changes stick with you forever. Emotional abuse is not generally considered a healthy way to encourage change, but it does effect change nonetheless.

Realizing that the reason why I jump a little bit upon seeing a real life nude from a stranger and/or sex worker is not because of puritanical programming but because my demisexual heart goes, "NO! You shouldn't see that yet! You don't even know their name!!"

the rise of the fascist nerds was anticipated by Ellen Ullman's 1995 essay "Out of Time: Reflections on the Programming Life."
Real techies don’t worry about forced eugenics. I learned this from a real techie in the cafeteria of a software company. The project team is having lunch and discussing how long it would take to wipe out a disease inherited recessively on the X chromosome. First come calculations of inheritance probabilities. Given a population of a given size, one of the engineers arrives at a wipe-out date. Immediately another suggests that the date could be moved forward by various manipulations of the inheritance patterns. For example, he says, there could be an education campaign. The six team members then fall over one another with further suggestions. They start with rewards to discourage carriers from breeding. Immediately they move to fines for those who reproduce the disease. Then they go for what they call “more effective” measures: Jail for breeding. Induced abortion. Forced sterilization. Now they’re hot. The calculations are flying. Years and years fall from the final doom-date of the disease. Finally, they get to the ultimate solution. “It’s straightforward,” someone says. “Just kill every carrier.” Everyone responds to this last suggestion with great enthusiasm. One generation and—bang—the disease is gone. Quietly, I say, “You know, that’s what the Nazis did.” They all look at me in disgust. It’s the look boys give a girl who has interrupted a burping contest. One says, “This is something my wife would say. When he says “wife,” there is no love, warmth, or goodness in it. In this engineer’s mouth, “wife” means wet diapers and dirty dishes. It means someone angry with you for losing track of time and missing dinner. Someone sentimental. In his mind (for the moment), “wife” signifies all programming-party-pooping, illogical things in the universe. Still, I persist. “It started as just an idea for the Nazis, too, you know.” The engineer makes a reply that sounds like a retch. “This is how I know you’re not a real techie,” he says.
