 come on

if i bump you when you are doing some fine detail work

are you pissed at me?

there. 
 Hahahaha it depends. 
 if it was hella important only your love object can get that

so, she made a big mistake, and i'm not imputing intent, it's actually a little picture of how miserable software development is these days that this kind of "tell everyone function" is COERCIVE

it happens, don't expect to be given praise for missing something

this is how it is in software, if your code isn't exact, and fails to do what people expect, pile-in

it's rough, you need the motivation to prove you are better, don't take that away from her 
 look, my work of the first half of 2024 and with a whole month me doing my darnedest to catch the bug couldn't find it

so i made this thing, spent 6 months on it, it is useless

how do you think i feel right now about that?

yes, been 7 weeks trying to do what i think i need to do to fix it

because of the pre-shame

if i'd actually put taht out and someone goes "hey, this thing is broken" i would have been shame

and even, someone claimed to be running my code

and they didn't tell me it was broken, and i knew it was broken because i had been testing it constantly for months

idk what to say

calm your little heart but the wrong answer is gonna ket people killed 
 Well I didn’t sign any kind of tough love contract. So if y’all put out a project I like, with a one little flaw, I am gonna continue to point out the strengths. https://i.nostr.build/9CrDwO2vQeg6VzP7.gif  
 thankfully there will be someone who will file a faithful actual bug report eh nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qyw8wumn8ghj7argv43kjarpv3jkctnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcqyrwkvn27gqtyxw5v660sqkhpfqyqgdgh3x6emed0qcnkmejkx0f3jstwprn  wot? 
 Well I don’t like the social environment of software one bit 😂

Idk how she does it. 
 she is motivated by being right, and making it work 
 Hey man, I just like going back and forth with you. 

You know how to continue the debate without getting disrespectful, which is admirable these days 😂 
 yeah, i'm just trying to impart information

the hard headed go fuck yourself mindset of engineering is being attacked from all directions in these times

and without that mindset, a society will have disaster and almost nobody will survive

the jews that said "hey, wait a sec, i didn't commit usury, why is adolf saying this" and that led to them deciding to move to america

the rest of them, were not thinking

thinking hurts at first, but afterwards, it becomes a sport

i wish i was as much like this about physical activity as i am about thinking, but i push myself... i am getting better, it's just complicated to balance everything lol! 
 It’s hard for me. Sometimes I still get hard-headed and have that GFY attitude. That’s why I like these exchanges with you 😂 it’s good practice on decorum. 

I haven’t been able to balance physical activity either, but I’m still pre-op 
 yeah, this diabeetus really spun me ... about 3 years it's been getting worse and worse and i really am actually getting the better of it now

i have vague memories of knowing someone with a similar problem as you have right now, i hope you get it sorted... ah yes, i remember now who had the problem, one of my aunties, wow i hadn't even thought about her in such a long time... first kid she had had brain damage from asphyxiation due to a difficult delivery (i think they went to C-section too late) and poor boy had some ... i think it was cerebral palsy

yeah reminds me my mother they gave her too many opiates of some kind and i came out blue, but not excessively abnormal and certainly it didn't mess up my intelligence but that's not where i lack lol 
 Diabetes if roughhhh with the lifestyle changes 

Hahahaha. Yeah I’m gonna get surgery next week and don’t believe I will be procreating ever
