Programmer Humor

Can't relate. I use shell all the time, and I always use spaces in file paths, especially to make sure scripts I make still work then

i y'all just started using fish shell, you'd have proper shell completions and argument splitting that doesn't care about spaces in file names

My work has me working with Matlab Simulink paths, which may (and sometimes actually do) contain newlines.

I very intentionally have all my code in Personal Projects 🥰 and Work Projects 🏦 directories so I can find bugs in the handling of file paths.

at least you/arent/using\ linux

not sure why the default behavior is this:

file\ name\ with\ a\ bunch\ of\ spaces

instead of this:

"file name with a bunch of spaces"

but you can just press " before pressing tab to auto-complete, and it will use the 2nd form

I\ don\'t\ know\ what\ you\ mean,\ I\'ve\ never\ encountered\ any\ annoyances.

Microsoft intentionally made programs install to C:\Program Files on Windows 95+ to force programmers to deal with spaces in filenames.

Someone make one of those "statements made by the utterly deranged" memes about it, please and thank you.

Computers should just know when I want a space to be part of a file name, and when I want them to be argument separators. No more escaping or quoting.

The number of keystrokes needed to type an underscore is the same that you need to type backslash space, so I don't see how underscores are in improvement

I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a ~~little~~ lot inside when I learned that.

I still use spaces

Are you typing the whole filename by hand? Tab expansion exists, you know?

the struggle between spaces in filenames look cute and oh fuck what's the code to reference a space in a filename in terminal?

Don't try svelte kit. This is pseudocode but it's valid. The only symbol show here that is not real is the / that I've placed at the end of folder to show that they are folders. There are other special cases

routes/
+page.ts
(admin)/
  +page.ts
  [user=uuid]/
    [[community]]/
      +page.ts
    posts/
      [...postIds@]/
        +page.ts

smells like skill issue tbh

tools which cant handle being installed/run on directories with spaces are so annoying

Now I use lowercase and underscores everywhere.

i think i am old. i grew up using DOS, and really hated spaces in filenames and folders because they appreared truncated at the first space with a tilde and index of that file/folder representation.

ex: C:\folder name is bad\ == C:\folder~1

i hated that so much that when i got to windows 3.1 i refrained from using spaces (some command line was still necessary in w3.1)

i have jept that habit through the years, so when i moved from windoes to linux, my natural instincts of snake_case_folder_names made it so i didnt have to change : D
