Thanks, I hate it.

They both feel so wrong, I love it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I think I need to lie down.

I prefer SQL, because you can pronounce it "sequel" or "es-cue-ell", and it's fine. CSS just doesn't have that kind of flexibility as a language.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

CSS also pisses me off because it clearly doesn't cascade... to contrast SQL is a language, it is used for querying... and it's structured horribly. Please for the love of God let me FROM foo WHERE bar SELECT baz

"Ksssss"

That's what I sound like whenever I have to tackle that bag of snakes.

I have also heard some say "school"

Well, those people are maniacs

i’m leaning towards “skull” tho

"I dropped a table with skull"

Oh. Now I want one of these for every pairing. Vim vs Windows. Bubble Sort vs. SODIMM. The beauty is, with LLMs, I can have it! Enter two of any computer terms, and ChatGPT spits out a comparison. And why stop with computer stuff? Eukayryotic vs Republican! The War of 1812 vs The Kessel Run!

I think the real question on all of our minds is which is better: JavaScript or megabytes

Having worked with tables in both I'm partial to French.

Is this chatGPT generated?

Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Tried to store documents in paint and it ruined the documents, 0/10

I'll let you know how my file cabinet art show goes

This is a pretty roundabout way of saying back-end vs front-end.
