React Native
This reminds me. I got a search engine to build.
Vibe coding in assembly.
I tried vibe coding a simple assembly program and it couldn’t do it
I see your pitiful vibe coding and raise you… SPITE CODING 👿
Spite coding is almost the original coding.
I have definitely gone into a rageful fugue state and woken up a week later after reworking an entire code base from being an inconsistent mess of slop…
…into actually having a common library of functions instead of just rewriting slightly different versions of them 8 times, having those functions only actually instantiated for necesarry classes…
…rewriting every variable name and function name to an actually consistent and intelligible naming scheme…
… and finally, moving a whole bunch of shit out of some kind of global ‘think’ type loop that doesn’t actually need to be called or checked every goddamned micro second.
Done that more than once actually.
Never look inside ‘baby’s first video game mod’ code, unless you have healthy blood pressure.
But uh yeah, spite, hatred, and anger are indeed powerful motivators for making good code, lol.
… so many idiots just jam everything into a global, called every tick loop, and then claim that it just can’t be optimized, because “the game engine just can’t handle it”…
./clears_throat.shThe engine doesn’t suck. I do. I suck.
I prefer the term “spite-driven development”.
I wrote an SDL replacement but worse after SDL refused to work with audio streams for me even after a week of googling, it took me the same amount to get it work with WASAPI directly as looking up audio streams, instead of the many easymp3playback.dll type solution. Another one week was making ALSA working. At least it’s in D, so I have an easier time with development.
I also almost was involved with a YanSim clone development called “Love Letter: My True Feelings”, but shit just started to hit the fan (character designer just left), so I decided to not get involved as a coder.
Lakh views? 🤔

What’s this dude talking about?! Everyone knows no one hates React like people who code in React 😂 No one is gonna get pissed off watching this.
I remember years ago when React was the savior of web apps Swooping in engineers from the clutches of JQuery and AngularJS (not to be confused with Angular 2+). Components we’re gonna make things simpler than the mess of JS files and global state.
And generally that’s true but we’ve traded that off for a mess of hooks and 700 line nested functions in nested functions and obtuse rules that only apply to react and not JS.
Complex web apps are hard.
I used to be a React dev. The only thing I hated more than React was my boss.
Do React devs really hate React?
I think it’s great and I’ve been working with it for 6 years. Many issues were resolved over time. We didn’t even have hooks back when I started! Those were dark times. And the new compiler helps with memoization.
I don’t, but it can be really annoying when I accidentally fall for a common trap that I supposedly know how to avoid after all these years! Gah.
Isn’t the adage that you either have haters or no users?
Umm this is just being retro. Like using a film camera.
Raw film is objectively higher quality than raw digital. Are you saying that C is objectively higher quality than Rust?
Excerpt film isn’t objectively better…
That’s what your original comment was eluding to, so I was confirming with you that that’s what you meant.
Data visualization ≠ UI and signal processing is traditionally done in C
That looks like buttons in the thumbnail, on the left of the visualisation.
I’d say that’s enough to call it UI.UI. User Interface. The bridge between a system and a user. So anything, literally any information transfer from the user to the system OR from the system to the user, is a User Interface.
A definition so broad as to be useless.
Is it a UI when someone calls memcpy to move data from a file to a screen buffer?
Not it isn’t.
A command line literally is a UI.
You seem to be confusing GUI and UI?
You seem to be confusing C stdlib with a CLI?
This isn’t hard, you’re just trying to make it to be.
Memcpy from a file to a screen buffer is as much a UI as pouring water in a pot is a soup.
I did not make this definition. However, this does not give you the freedom to make up your own definition and treat it as a fact. Don’t spread wrong information.
Would you agree that the dashboard of a car is UI? If so, isn’t that just data visualization?
Dashboard is a UI fed by signal processing code which is the backend.
There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.
It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.
There is another called ImGui which is also cool! Written in C++.
Unrelated but there is microui, a 1100 loc library in ansi C for a basic UI.
What’s React?
React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.

Huh, well that’s a funny way of saying “break the model of web page as document and fuck up the entire web!”
Oh stop it. Are you saying you don’t enjoy pressing the “Back” button in your browser, but staying on the same page. Therefore breaking the page so you refresh and lose whatever the fuck you were doing? /s
Yeah because documents are limiting and we want to do stuff that executables can do but with a better distribution model.
Shoulda been something more like Java Web Start.
Maybe. But performance, availability, and security killed a number of viable options. Flash was always more ubiquitous than Java on the web but it eventually died too.
Flash was also cancer that ruined web pages.
The reason Java Web Start wasn’t, was specifically because once you clicked on the link, it downloaded the app and started it as a real desktop application, with its own window and taskbar entry and whatnot. It didn’t rely on being embedded in HTML (I’m spefically not talking about Java applets, BTW – they sucked too) or manipulating the DOM for its UI; it could use Swing and have the same look and feel as a native application.
Used for rendering UIs on a Document Object Model. JS was a mistake.
I’m an elitist asshole and I hate that people say “react dev” when really it’s “web dev that uses react”
react devs are not web devs. they’re special
Is this distinction really all that useful?
I suppose you could write a react app that doesn’t use “the web”? But you still might just say they are a react developer.
I think the web part refers to web technologies.
Yeah I guess I’m old. Seems like everything is called “web dev” these days.
I was answering a question somewhere related to something like C/C++ and Operating System level stuff. Someone replied asking where I learned “web dev.” I would consider that general programming, or possibly systems programming, but certainly not “web dev.”
