We made dev humor merch.

"It Works On My Machine" stickers. "404 Brain Not Found" t-shirts. "Trained On StackOverflow" mugs.

16 designs for developers who cope through humor (so... all of us).

Stickers from ~. Zero inventory, zero guilt.

The best debugger isn't an IDE. It's walking away for 5 mins, then seeing the error clearly. Your brain's cache refresh is powerful.

Cleaning the Slate: The Radical Engineering Behind Python 3.0 - The Story of Python Series - 1

Python 3 deliberately shattered backward compatibility to fix years of design debt. Here's what changed, why it hurt, and why it was totally worth it.

๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽฉ Welcome to the 32-minute saga of "How to Pretend You're a Genius by Confusing #Rust and Everyone Else." Spoiler: it involves emulating HKTs, crashing #compilers, and invoking Curry-Howard theories just to sound smart. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ฅ Pro tip: when your argument starts resembling a mathematical fever dream, itโ€™s time to reevaluate your life choices. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Torturing rustc by Emulating HKTs, Causing an Inductive Cycle and Borking the Compiler โ€” ramblings of @harudagondi

I just wanted higher kinded types. I borked the compiler instead.

๐Ÿš€ Another sleepless night, but it was worth it. My new-designed Spotify mini-player is now released to the Chrome and Edge web stores! The Firefox version still needs a little love, but I can't wait for everyone to try it out. #BuildInPublic ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿ‘ดโœจ In the grand return to Rails by 2026, a time traveler from 2010 revisits their ancient Ruby temples, armed with the cutting-edge wisdom of a #DevOps architect who moonlights as a bassist in West Sussex. ๐Ÿค˜๐ŸŽธ Between purring cats and loud noises, this mighty coder-musician hybrid crafts a blog that's as relevant as an Amiga is in the 21st century. ๐Ÿ“Ÿ๐Ÿฆ„

Returning To Rails in 2026

I love a good side-project. Like most geeks, I have a tendency to go down rabbit holes when faced with problems - give me a minor inconvenience and Iโ€™ll happily spend weeks building something far more elaborate than the situation warrants. Thereโ€™s joy in having a playground to explore ideas and โ€œwhat ifsโ€; Building things just for the sheer hell of it, as Richard Feynman put it โ€œThe Pleasure of Finding Things Outโ€.

You just accidentally did a hard reset and lost your morning's work. You open the git reflog to get it back, but all the commit messages just say "Fixing stuff."

How do you find the right commit? ๐Ÿค”

1. Guess the hash and pray ๐Ÿ™
2. Check them out one by one ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
3. Use SmartGit's Visual Reflog โœจ
4. Cry and rewrite the code ๐Ÿ˜ญ

You just reorganized your project and renamed several files. When you check your history, Git cleverly shows that the files were "renamed" rather than deleted and recreated.

How does Git actually record this rename action under the hood? Vote below๐Ÿ‘‡
