Yeah. I do.
Real Consultants Don't Use Loops
Loops. They're so ... well ... loopular. I mean, come on, do we really need them? Do we? If you think about it, they're nothing but crutches for the weak. Kinda like case statements or switch blocks. No, us highly-paid consultants don't need any of that. In fact, here's a perfect example of how to...

I know what a good wine is like. Yet usually, I just drink vodka.
Jeff knows what good code is like.

They probably read that "loops are inefficient" and thought they were clever.

What does that even mean?

Well, I have been wrongly accused in that case. It took some considerable effort to format the damned link.
And it still broke...

FTFY!Filed Under: figuring out what "blindly accusing" means in this case is left as an excercise for the reader!

FEATURE REQUEST: enable trading of forumpoints and badges.
Discourse is not anywhere near gamified enough. I want to have an inventory, an user level, experience points, gold coins and cosmetic items with a 1% chance of having an "unusual" stat. What kind of lame community is this if I can't even trade virtual stuff?
-
I'll trade up my 5 "Didn't Get The Joke" badges to anyone who has a spare non-lame badge!

If that happens, I'll just activate a @sockbot instance with the Eliza module and tell myself I'm playing Progress Quest, Discourse edition.

Yes master One of the T̶w̶o̶ Three Things Hard In CompSci, I shall appear as summoned.

But we have hats!

why the hell are we posting links to 10 year old articles... is it Jeff's Anniversary of his first Jeffication?

If a trading system is to be implemented, I insist that staff be allowed to mark certain items as "non-tradeable". For instance "Didn't get the joke" badgers.

Even if Jeff knew good code, this was like 8 years before Discourse was created.

Discourse real-world trading. I'll sell @Mott555 on ebay and use @Mott556 as my new main account.
Until @Mott556 ends up with 6 whooshers …

So @Mott555 has 5 whooshers.
@Mott556 just got threatened with 6 whooshers.Solution: Switch to @Mott0.

If whooshers are stored as an unsigned int you just got yourself

So I need to do @MottNaN to force all y'all to interpret it as a double.

Someone might have a pendantry badge they'd be willing to give up, although it seems unlikely.

But that's mod power abuse!No. It's admin power abuse. Get your facts straight.
