Code that does not work is just text.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 178 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’ve never thought of it that way. I’m going to add copy writer to my resume.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 month ago

Maybe fiction writer as well

This made me laugh so hard one of the dogs came to check in on me.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh my goodness, that's adorable and sweet of your dog! Also, I'm so glad you had such a big laugh. I love when that happens.

He’s a sweet guy. … Mostly. Very much in need of a lot of attention. Sometimes he just sits next to you on the couch and puts his paw on you if you’re not giving him enough attention.

Here he is posing with his sister as a prop:

Oh my goodness, he sounds precious! I've had a sweet and needy dog like that in the past, too. It can be a lot, but I loved it (and miss it,) haha.

Both your dogs are very cute! You and your pups gave me a much-needed smile. Thank you for that. :) Please give them some pets from me!

No the spell just fizzled. In my experience it happens far less often if you start with an Abra kabara and end it with an Alakazam!

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, the Abra kabara init and Alakazam cleanup are an important part, specially until you have become good enough to configure your own init.


There is an alternative init, Abra Kadabra, which automatically adds a cleanup and some general fixes when it detects the end of the spell.

Conversely, code that works is also text

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But working code can be made into numbers.

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

But numbers are also text

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But not just text

Also that's not converse to what the parent comment said

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Did you want to converse about conversing?

[–] Alk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Code that works is also just text.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 8 points 1 month ago

It is text, but not just text

[–] wischi@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Text that's not code might also work.
