@hewer_of_code Sure it's easy to revert changes in code; but I'm more worried how code is used or if it should be written in the first place.

I would code a hammer, but I wouldn't code a gun.

@FlashMobOfOne I finished my degree a long time ago and there are some courses I never got the chance to use in my work (ex: all engineers have 3-4 physics courses regardless of their field of study).

Looking at my notes now and I can't believe that's my writing. It looks like I'm writing in runes and I have no clue what's going on!

@hewer_of_code I think it also helps that "usual" engineering fields are heavily regulated (construction, public infrastructure, chemical, mechanical, electric, etc.). You can't really "fuck around and find out" with those.

Software is way more abstract and is hard for our politicians to grasp but I think it's as important not to fuck up with software otherwise you get... well... the situation we're in right now.

@hewer_of_code Importance of quality is drilled into us throughout the entire degree (and it's part of the pledge we do at the end), but not every engineer truly values it. I’ve come across some pretty bad ones, and I’ve also met some genuinely great software developers (like you) who really care about their craft, and it usually shows in their work.

I thank you for your human-made, quality code contributions

@julian I think it's okay for privacy reasons but I feel there should be a way for the seldom used ones to get purged automatically.

If I can cache media for a few weeks, I can store emojis for a few months... I just don't like the idea of an infinitely growing cache.

I DO have a "real" engineering degree and I wholeheartedly agree.

Ethics is supposed to guide what we create. I want responsible development, not this LLM-assisted "move fast, break things, don't care" mentality that's being pushed by corporate greed.

I'm interested in knowing how other people are faring out there

Fedi instance owners going crazy with their custom emojis taking 2.8 GB in my media cache

That's a LOT of emojis!
