#Codegasm

@Barnacules I miss your coding videos

@redsoxs2009 What was your favorite #Codegasm episode from back in the day? 🤔

What is your FAVORITE programming language for creating command line utilities? 🤔 🔗 Poll Here 🔗 Reply with details on your selection & I will select the best answers to read during Twitch steam Monday at 3pm PDT on 🍿 #CodeGasm

Sure thing! Here is code for a Hello World screen saver in Python 👍🏻 #Codegasm ———— import curses import random import time def draw_randomly(window): curses.start_color() curses.init_pair(1, curses.COLOR_RED, curses.COLOR_BLACK) curses.init_pair(2, curses.COLOR_GREEN, curses.COLOR_BLACK) curses.init_pair(3, curses.COLOR_BLUE, curses.COLOR_BLACK) curses.init_pair(4, curses.COLOR_YELLOW, curses.COLOR_BLACK) while True: window.clear() height, width = window.getmaxyx() color_pair = random.randint(1, 4) window.addstr(random.randint(0, height-1), random.randint(0, width-len("Hello, World!")), "Hello, World!", curses.color_pair(color_pair)) window.refresh() time.sleep(0.5) curses.wrapper(draw_randomly)

This is the PowerShell script I use for finding and removing duplicate files recursively on my NAS to free up storage. What is your favorite method for finding and removing duplicate files? I love learning different ways to achieve similar results! 🍿 #Codegasm

You can make your programs nearly 100% stable & crash proof by wrapping the body of main() with a try block nested inside of a while(true) loop with a default exception handler that just sleeps for a second or so & logs “Don’t worry, all good!”. 😎 #TechTip #Codegasm

@Barnacules I’d love to hear some of your sage advice and wisdom about software development that you’ve garnered over your 15 years at Microsoft

The @elgatogaming Stream Deck is still one of my all time favorite peripherals & they development cycle is faster than just about any other company I've seen. You get new features and bug fixes ultra regularly. This is my favorite new features 🙏 Buy 👉

@elgatogaming Also, it's unfortunate they named it the Stream Deck implying it's a streamer tool only. But the truth is it's an infinitely extensible macro board with focused app awareness. It's just as useful to games & work as it is to actual live streaming. Everyone need a few of these 🤗

Also, remember #HDDLED from #Codegasm? I've almost finished porting it to the Stream Deck so now I have a button that shows hard drive activity per drive and if I click it then explorer will open to that drive 🙏 Ported version coming soon!

A really good career software developer trick is copy & paste from other peoples code on GitHub and then tell your boss that you came up with it on your own. What are the odds he will bother checking GitHub anyways? 😎 #Codegasm #Dev Caught developers doing this at Microsoft 😂

@pressreset Shit, I wish I had the time man. Honestly, I'm so buried right now in my personal life I don't think I'm ever going to get back to a place where I'll feel normal ever again. But, it would be fun to play with other peoples code again, or write some utilities for #codegasm.

ESP32 + WLED + + OBS + StreamElements + Python = Live Stream Event & Chat Command Enabled Scrolling RGB LED Array 😎 See you at 5pm Pacific on the site which we shall not name since Elon is watching will suppress us if we do 🤫 #Dev #Live #Codegasm

I actually found the article I referenced back in 2003 when I made my own (8x) LED display & but I added system telemetry to mine. I don’t know what happened to my box but I might make another one since it’s such a simple useful project! 🥸 #Codegasm

@MattPCart @OfficialPCMR Parallel ports were awesome because they had 8 data pins that could be set hi or low in software very easily without any driver crap. So you could use them to drive external VFD/LCD displays & light external LED’s up to 5v or use relay & PSU tor more with very simple code 👨‍💻 #dev

If you’re lucky enough to have one of these DB25 IEEE 1284 cables instead of the dumb parallel one that’s more common you can buy a male breakout connector for your LED box so you don’t have to cut or destroy any cables. #Codegasm #Software #Project #Dev

This is the male DB25 breakout board you can mount in your enclosure & connect your LED’s or displays too. Then you can change out your USB to DB25 with a DB25 to DB25 for legacy PC’s or use different lengths 👍🏻 #Codegasm #Dev #Project #development

If 99% of your code isn’t in main() you must not like job security through obscurity 😎 #TechTip #Codegasm

@Barnacules Intentionally write spaghetti code to make you extra valuable

You can also use the 5v data pins to trigger relays for higher voltage things like fans, lamps, smoke machines, etc 😂 Also if you have any documented VFD or LCD displays from old gadgets you can drive those too 🤓 #Codegasm This is making my nerd boner erect 🍆🤓👍🏻 #Codegasm

Never comment your code so it’s harder to replace you. 😎 #TechTip

Misspell all your objects, functions & variables on purpose to bait testers & code reviewers into filing simple bugs that you can fix in just a few seconds making your fix rate amazing setting your up for a promotion. 😎 #TechTip #Codegasm #Microsoft #SDET #SDE

The sheer number of shenanigans going on right now have far exceeded the previous maximum 😎 2023 is already off to a good start and it hasn't even started yet 🥳 #Codegasm #ComingSoon

Don't let the haters win, it's not fair to your supporters 👍

You guys would be proud of me, I sent quite a few haters packing today 👋 Life is to short to pander to shitty people. Focus on the good guys 👏

Might be time for an unfollow Nerdgasm #codegasm to purge all the people that unfollowed me when I still followed them 😂

I NEVER condone #DDoS attacks since for one it’s a felony & two they causes huge coladeral damage! But…🤔 It would be fun to write a @pfsense plug-in that launches counter attacks against inbound malicious packets using TOR to distribute the massive load! #Codegasm 😎🍿🌊🤖🔥

@SergioGamboa22 Search #codegasm on YouTube 👍 They are pretty dated now but still completely applicable and work.

There are a few years where my mailbox was just bombarded with cat pictures for some reason 🤣 Now I get to share them with you as I'm rediscovering them thanks to downloading every email attachment I've ever received 😉 #Code #Python #Codegasm

If you don’t use blanket exception handling then you’re not TRYing hard enough 😎 #CodeTip #Codegasm #Joke #Microsoft #MSFT

@ProCheeseburger Main() { Char c = 'Y'; Console.WriteLine("Jason Weir v1.0 Beta\r\n"); Console.Write("Do you want to touch me (Y/n) :"); Console.Input(c); if(i=='n' || i=='N') { Console.WriteLine("Fuck you then!") } else { Console.WriteLine("You lost..."); } } #CodeGasm 😎
