"i would rather debug a linker" is sure a phrase to describe just how bad something else is
@leftpaddotpy
what about writing a linker? :3c
@tthbaltazar recreationally? could be fun. at work? absolutely not, that shit sucks.

@leftpaddotpy @Catfish_Man no it's not.

"I'd rather debug a memory ordering issue" is. sorry <linker folks> but linkers just aren't that hard :P

@madcoder I’ll trade you for the memory ordering bug. Hard or not, linker issues are incredibly annoying 😅
@Catfish_Man what about “compiler bug affecting the linker?” I had one of those recently.
@madcoder @Catfish_Man I will take 10 linker bugs from either of you if you can figure out 159454388
@madcoder @Catfish_Man maybe even throw a few memory ordering bugs on top

@fay59 @Catfish_Man is this what I think it is?

Edit: yes it was. You’re not playing fair here.

@madcoder @fay59 @Catfish_Man I figured it out. The problem is that theSIGSEGV
@mikeash @madcoder @fay59 @Catfish_Man What a strange conversation, and ending.
@madcoder @Catfish_Man well, the above post was in reference to an Apple MDM vendor's automation tools, and I still maintain I'd rather debug a build system or linker :P
@leftpaddotpy Been there, done that. My condolences.
