it's funny, as someone who's never played the games and only seen them mentioned by friends or online, the bikini clad snipers have not come up once

I don't think I agree with this. Doomscrolling has a negative connotation - of wasting your time and being unhealthy for the mind. I don't see coding the same way. Sometimes, I code to finish a project and it's a major milestone and I feel accomplished. Other times, I just code something because it sounds like I'd enjoy it and it's fun. I feel fulfilled nonetheless, even if it goes nowhere. I wouldn't equate it to doomscrolling.

Re:.gitignore Isn't the Only Way to Ignore Files in Git on Friday June 19, 2026 @12:24PM (#48600280)
check out gnu stow for this! i place my config files in ~/dots, mirroring the structure as if it were my home directory, and gnu stow can symlink everything to my home directory for me. then, only the dots directory is checked into version control.

i find this better than putting all of ~/.config in git, since i don't necessarily want everything there to be version controlled.

I personally dislike placing a heavy emphasis on exams. Assignments/projects have been consistently the most enjoyable and rewarding parts of the courses I've taken so far in university.

It's a shame that they are also way more susceptible to cheating with AI.
