I like memes that are precisely targeted so as to be completely incomprehensible except to one narrow subset of person who will immediately groan and hold their face and sob a little bit
@glassbottommeg oh nooooo

@pawv @eniko I don't know if Make's familiar with the codebase, but Emma I think you at least aren't, and

holy shit you have no idea

The whole fucking thing is macros, MACROS IN MACROS, and the result does, uh, work? but at what cost

@glassbottommeg @pawv oh i don't have personal experience but in a dev chat i'm in i've been regaled with many an unreal reflection horror story

@eniko @glassbottommeg Arms length familiarity here, but FMA meme tells me all I need to know. 😖

Regrettably I have been the one to blame for designing complex C++ systems built on reflection BS. I'm the sort of pigheaded type that chose not to use an "intellisense" IDE, so not having popups and easy ways to navigate an inheritance family tree really highlighted the mistake I had made. 😅

Also MACROS... I've done so many naughty things with those. 😈

@eniko @glassbottommeg I can only imagine what Unreal-dev in (pre-AI era) Notepad is like. 🤣
