"Trying to move an image one pixel down in Word"

There's a lot of fear at my job about changing code. I've been trying to tell them to start writing automated tests. Or at least a linter to check for syntax errors. They're all like "ooh that sounds hard maybe next quarter"

Meanwhile, a trivial change requires a whole day because the developer has to manually test everything.

I just unilaterally added checks to code I have ownership over, but anything shared I'm getting "maybe in two quarters we can prioritize this" from management.

"It's just one goto, what's the worst that could happen?"

Reminds me of the time my whole website started spinning because I forgot to close a tag.

Damnit Escher. Not in my code too.

Reminds me of this: 2022 - Non-Euclidean Doom: what happens to a game when pi is not 3.14159…

I commented out a line in the game I'm building and the enemy could suddenly control my character. Cool cool cool cool cool

If AIs were able to handle this safely, I'd consider using them.

This totally happens in code where functions have plenty of side effects. And thats why functional programming can lead to fearless refactoring!

Dang it i changed

import(math)

To

import(MC.Escher)

Again

"OP discovers quaternions."

How do you solve gimbal lock?

3Vector Math / Matrix Algebra?

Nonsense rotational transforms?

You do nonsense harder.

Imaginary 4th Dimension, harder.

Shut up, don't think about it, yes it will work if you don't think about it.

... I guess that makes it like, the opposite of Orc Wauuugh or whatever?
