  • I don’t remember every detail but what I do remember is the wave starting with pre-elon Twitter devs announcing their changes and it started with web services that had master/slave terminology. Some of the new terms did make more sense, but some were clearly stretches. And twitter being based out of SF probably has put forth the effort to hire maybe 5 to 6 black people over it’s entire existence, so it felt especially shallow to me at the time. Hence the comment. Obviously there’s some assumptions there about twitters hiring practice but…I really don’t think I’m wrong, there’s definitely a cultural issue out there in the bay.






  • Right which is what I’m saying makes this a boring rage bait meme. It doesn’t contribute anything but triggers memories of conversations. Some people will think of things where they were annoyed at someone clearly misusing a word because they are stupid, then claiming “bro language, like, flows and shit”. Some people will think of (apparently, according to some other responder), people getting butthurt that the original 10000 year old meaning of the word nimrod got corrupted over time and think “yeah, language changes, think of all those nimrods”. But it doesn’t take a real stance or so anything interesting other than trigger feelings of annoyance in one direction or the other. So it’s rage bait.

    It’s short for string, a data type in pretty much every programming language which traditionally is a length followed by a sequence of characters. Another storage approach used by C is to make strings just the sequence of characters with a 0 value on the end. However this approach was an optimization for 1960s technology which had aged into being a pain in the ass by 1961.
