just found out you can dump visual studio exception info in C++ on a crash to a file even in a release build and then open the file in visual studio and have the call stack and locals with all the line numbers (optimization permitting more or less) intact. this is game changing for debugging crashes on other people's computers.

@selfsame felicidades, senor software engineer!
@toxi I find it's good at writing small, self contained bits of code that can easily be checked for correctness. think of it as a junior programmer (who remembers how to properly sort an array :) that you're delegating tasks to.
a lot of people who come at it with skepticism ask it to do things that it simply cannot do.
it's basically just a very good code snippet lookup engine, not a "fellow programmer".
🚨 INCOMING SKILLSHARE 🚨
join us next week September 26th at 5:00 p.m. NYC time as worker-owner @nasser walks us through the coroutine system he developed that powers most of his personal practice and a lot of EMMA projects! if you're interested in unorthodox control flow, architecture for interactive software, or writing code that exists in physical time then this one is for you!
@helvetica that was the point when I finally made the jump. paying $100 a month for software was criminal enough, but doing it for bad software stopped making any sense at all.
@nasser hi CTUKO, I'm TUDO

Came across "ethically sourced Lena image" recently https://mortenhannemose.github.io/lena/ and found an excuse to make use of it in a test today 😁
@andymakes for Star Scum, I started with a kanban board and then over time it just naturally migrated into a single page on Notion that is basically just a text file where the hard TODOs are mixed with random less important ideas. it's nice to have it all be on one page and then i can move things up and down to de/prioritize things.
