That looks good AF. I may have spaghetti tonight
What kind of utensil is that?
Pasta spoon. Objectively inferior to tongs as a utensil for serving spaghetti with. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
Looks like a pasta scoop
Ohhh that makes sense. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I had to stare at it for a half minute before I could even look it up, because all I could see was a fork for goblins.
Goblin fork was what I saw, also.
What a time to be alive.

And I face the opposite. I go to great lengths to make mine pretty and simple as I can. Then comes the maintenance team to make minor changes by completely fucking it up even when I am guiding them what to do. Can’t even bother to indent it properly, so damn annoying that I want to just rewrite them myself. I get they might be busy but damn they are sloppy. Maybe I should stop caring too much about my work.
Often times my code starts like the spaghetti, then once it works I’ll redo it in a more legible way. But all of my code is for personal projects, so I can without a manager breathing down my neck.
Current situation at my work: somebody vibecodes a bunch of overly complex functions in Excel and later quits, and now other employees in that department who aren’t fluent in even basic Excel code have to use and maintain that code
This pains me down to my soul
At least all of my code is written like crap by my own hand, and then maintained like crap by my own hand.
This is how AI writes code. In about one to two years, all code will look like this, and neither human nor AI will be able to maintain it. The industry will be fucked.
I do my very best to write code like I’m writing English prose, because understandable code is maintainable code, so when people say things like “AI is bad for art, like books, but it’s great for things that don’t matter, like software” it really grinds my nuts.
It just baffles me how many programmers think of programming not as their artisan profession but as an irritating chore they have to get through.
