Who is out here building high-overhead parallelization libraries?

[zamalek → zbowling]

I have almost certainly built high overhead parallelization primitives during my junior years.

Check out my high-overhead replacement for 'cat' in BASH

    ~ $ type cat
    cat is a function
    cat () 
    { 
        while read; do
            printf '%s\n' "$REPLY";
        done < "$@"
    }

It probably butchers things. Why? I got bored in a meeting and someone accidentally posted 'cat' to Teams

Relatively, Rayon is higher overhead

[andrepd → zbowling]

Yeah, why are those bastards writing slow code? They should just write fast code instead

[silon42 → andrepd]

Fast code is often unmaintainable, that's why new high-speed libraries keep popping up.

[therein → andrepd]

Yeah and people should make sure not to commit bugs too. I look at all these commits with bugs and I'm like why are you committing bugs.

Stop publishing software, you don't refine your meal constantly! Enough is enough!

[bionsystem → bravetraveler]

In the early 2000s we were still in high school and a friend of mine told me that it's pointless to chose a carrier in SWE because eventually all the software will be written and there would be nothing to do.

Well we both ended up in CS but it's really a funny take nowadays (by then I wasn't so sure and it made me worry a bit).

we got paid to fix someone else code, whoever invented wordpress has made a million jobs
