I typed "git pish" and now my keyboard is soaked

Be glad it was your keyboard getting it and not you...

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

My custom keyboard is freaking expensive -- I'd throw myself in front of my piss to save my keyboard any day!

I accidentally typed "git gud" one time and Steam notified that I have completed all achievements of Dark Souls 1-3 at the same time (I don't even own the games)

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's a joke, right?

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes.

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 17 points 6 months ago

Thank you. Now I shall commence laughter.

[–] Piatro@programming.dev 19 points 6 months ago

I've been programming for too long, my brain just autocorrected the typo so initially didn't get the joke...

Beware the DWIM!

In one notorious incident, Warren added a DWIM feature to the command interpreter used at Xerox PARC. One day another hacker there typed delete *$ to free up some disk space. (The editor there named backup files by appending $ to the original file name, so he was trying to delete any backup files left over from old editing sessions.) It happened that there weren't any editor backup files, so DWIM helpfully reported *$ not found, assuming you meant 'delete *'. It then started to delete all the files on the disk!

this reminded me of that feature with lots of articles about its usefulness:

That would turn your desktop into a surgical bed.

I always type get and then get very mad when the terminal/powershell tell me how high I am.

My most common typo is gti <random command> and I'm considering to alias it as rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

I was suspicious as heck of this link, but I thank you for being benign.

[–] Shadowedcross@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

This kills the computer.
