(who am I missing?)
Steampunk_Prof@b0rk
Yourself π
Jef Poskanzer@Steampunk_Prof @b0rk "the Cartoon Drawer"
kmetz
mhoye@b0rk The community leader/wayfinder - "if you have that question, you want to talk to [this person] in [that forum]."
@mhoye YES thank you
Alan Dayley
Jason St-Cyr

KewlCat
Gordon P. Hemsley
robryk
Valentin Deleplace
Γngela Stella MatutinaThe Breaker of All Things. They go where no fuzzer can and show your program is not correct HERE.
@angelastella I love those people
Mark T. Tomczak@angelastella @b0rk Their patron saint is Lauren Hamilton, who generated the data that saved Apollo 8 by playing around in the capsule simulator while her mother worked.
She inadvertently discovered that running program P01 mid-mission would crash the system and require a state restore while the capsule was mid-drift.
Chris Silverman π»@b0rk the forum moderator, who manages the space where you can find all these people (and pushes back on the "people who make programming harder" folks)?
J Ξ M Ξ S
Juan@b0rk the helpdesk archeologist. βAh. In May of 2018 an architect running CentOS tried something similar and ran into a bug. Let me dig up the ticket.β
@romeroabelleira I love this one
PassengerThe fellow newbie who learns alongside you.
Robin Neal@b0rk the code reviewer, who reviews every new pr thoroughly and quickly.
The scope manager, who violently slashes scope and keeps your pm at bay.
Also shout-out to the QA staff who make sure our fuckups don't hit prod π

@b0rk the Julia Evans.
leapingfrogs@b0rk maybe βthe willing pairβ?
When asked βdo you know how/why..β they often respond with βIβm not sure, but Iβd love to help figure it with youβ. Followed by much learning by both.

@leapingfrogs ooh yes I love having that person!
Eddie Sholl@b0rk @leapingfrogs yeah I was going to propose βthe enthusiastic pairβ. An amazing resource when youβre stuck close to the end of something, and youβre running out of steam
ednl πͺπΊ@b0rk Oh bugger, do you think you should replace X with, idk, XYZ because X means something now??
You forgot to draw yourself in the last frame ;) But srsly, someone who inspires with a positive attitude. Programming discourse can be full of negativity. Like, The Coding Train videos made me happy and inspired me to try new stuff.
Bruce Mardle@ednl @b0rk Entry from 'The [Hacker's] Jargon File' (too long for a toot, plus the links are handy):

FCLC@b0rk since you're using X, problably a joking entry from the Wayland/Xorg "wars"?
aburka π«£@b0rk The debugger: "please show me the stack trace and all the details of your setup, I will get to the bottom of this"
@b0rk The matchmaker (similar to the Internet reader): "I don't know anything about this but I know that Fred wrote that code, ask him"
Ysegrim
Emily S@b0rk the hole finder: "hay can you talk through your plan for X? I'd like to understand it so I know what to plan for Y"
...
"how are we dealing with bad thing A?"
"Oh @&#%$"
@Emily_S thank you!
bitbonk@b0rk The mentor, maybe? The somewhat experienced guy who is asked for advice how to approach/solve something? Heβll ask the right questions gives some ideas and stuff to look into, helps you to get back on track.
alarmingly large glaceon girl π@b0rk i think it'd be funny if they were just a rubber duck on a desk but it might be less helpful as an inclusion than something else
Piglet@MrsPiglet @b0rk oh yeah, rubber duck debugging is a Thing, but it might not be the most helpful way to finish this image in particular
/usr/local/gothnewbie "what's this thing"
Experienced dev: "oh we're going on an adventure, congrats you're part of the lucky ten thousand"
jtonline@b0rk I'm trying to get down to 200 browser tabs!!!
Ponder Stibbons π§π·π©πͺ@jtonline
#TMTS (Too many #tabs #syndrome)
should get its own ICD code...
I found a way that keeps me afloat:

Ponder Stibbons π§π·π©πͺ (@[email protected])
I think I just found a #gamechanger in my life that might finally help me get rid of #TMTS (Too #Many #Tabs Syndrome): Ingredients: - #Obsidian - some meaningfull templates (WIP) - "Copy As #Markdown"- #Extension - shortcuts set up for multiple tabs Workflow: - Collect Tabs that "will be needed later" in one window - Create new file via a #zettelkasten style "tabstash template" - copy & paste urls + give some context - close tabs #peacofmind
@blackcoffeerider @b0rk that definitely looks like a potential solution, except that it would require decisions! I just want the old Delicious back!
Exandra@b0rk screeners
"Well I never saw this issue but it sounds terrible and I think I heard other people with a similar issue last week. Better mark it high priority"
@yabellini@fosstodon has moved@b0rk The translator "My people don't speak English, I'm going to translate/explain it to/in Spanish", "Now I learn it, I will write how to do this with R if you come from Python"
@yabellini I love this thank you! so important
Greg Wilson@yabellini +100 to this @b0rk
Deb has moved! (see profile) π¨π¦
Andres MorenoThe tester: I am not sure but this is how I would test your solution!
Emre Kartoglu@b0rk not sure what to call them. But always appreciated the presence of people who question (usually in a design review) the why of things and every little assumption being made in the design (assuming other people know x or other assumptions). They can be tiring, but in a good way.
