Start a religion where the clergy maintain both written and oral versions of your code as a sacred text.
Schisms are just feature branches, it all makes sense!
Forgot “Pasting it into a Word document”.
I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.
I’ve always wished Markdown was better supported in email. I work with external companies’ APIs a lot where email is the medium, and typically I use a Windows monospace font for code snippets (I’m on macOS but there are a handful of monospaced fonts that work on both).
It’s very clunky, and I wish the backtick notation would work out of the box. Whoever decided HTML in email was the way to go should be shot.
Honest to god, I’ve seen people from the past trying to write html for a website on Word.
True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.
After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)
The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.
I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.
I would never paste code into a Word document. I use Notepad++ for that.
the semicolon was calling from inside the house
A classmate I was doing a project with saved his code as screenshots in a word document.
Train an LLM on your code and share the model.
lol, when I first started playing around with programming around grade 6 or 7, I’d print out code to read it
You were far ahead of professors that make you write it out with pen and paper
Have a proper radio ham license. Buy a 40-meter transceiver and a software defined radio dongle. Convert your code into esoteric programming languages such as Whitespace and Brainf, then spell it. “Plus, plus, next, plus, dot, open bracket, next, …”. Transmit your spelling over 40-meter band, while a receiver across the continent is tuned to the frequency. Ask it to repeat and record the QSO. Set the SDR recorder to I/Q packets instead of demodulating AM. Publish it as an audiobook.
