Always wanted an AI assistant that can write smut inside IDE while I write code
I dunno... just software engineering things I guess.
115 files changed and almost 3k lines added... sure, I'll have this reviewed by tomorrow for ya 🙄
A few months ago I saw a funny story about a guy who added generics/templates to JavaScript (or maybe TypeScript?) by using runic characters that look like angle brackets to enclose the template parameter, then using a preprocessor to convert the runes, etc. to actual, legal types before compilation. I can't seem to find it anywhere; hoping someone knows what I'm talking about.

Is fenestration when you find out if something is windows compatible? And [defenestration](https://allthatsinteresting.com/defenestration) when you find out it isn’t?
Edit: so im done with my preliminary research into this codebase. Our corporate SSO provider is changing, so I've been updating our tools to take advantage of the new badges. I found this in a web application that I started on today. The original developer is long gone, and according to our PaaS, this app has been running for just under 3 years without an update. There is no CI/CD, blue-green deployment, or back ups. The database is an H2 db with ddl-auto set to create-drop on startup, meaning that this database will delete itself if the app is restaged but thanks to this guys code, it won't populate itself. 🤷
Apparently VMWare knows what's up

``` // We play this game because we want this to be callable even from places that // don't have access to CallFrame* or the VM, and we only allocate so little // memory here that it's not necessary to trigger a GC - just accounting what // we have done is good enough. The sort of bizarre exception to the "allocating // little memory" is when we transfer a backing buffer into the C heap; this // will temporarily get counted towards heap footprint (incorrectly, in the case // of adopting an oversize typed array) but we don't GC here anyway. That's // almost certainly fine. The worst case is if you created a ton of fast typed // arrays, and did nothing but caused all of them to slow down and waste memory. // In that case, your memory footprint will double before the GC realizes what's // up. But if you do *anything* to trigger a GC watermark check, it will know // that you *had* done those allocations and it will GC appropriately. ``` Relevant code on line [#269](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/ab10a90523e06df54bbb8a98e1aed913f79d0af9/Source/JavaScriptCore/runtime/JSArrayBufferView.cpp#L269)
Still not the best thing to see when working on an open source project.

If only string maps were known to human kind :)
