How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?
WheelsAtLarge•1h ago
I'm not him but I love it. :)
SpyCoder77•1h ago
I have never had it, I prefer to go with things I already know I like.

How much industry experience do you actually have and, with that in mind, do you regularly make opinionated comments authoritatively and beyond your expertise?
SpyCoder77•1h ago
I am still in school, so I have no "industry experience" but have been programming text-based languages (so not Scratch) since 11.
zippyman55•1h ago
It has a piquant nose, not dissimilar to a guavesque beverage i once sampled in Mozambique, before the place was overrun by tourists. What am I drinking?

Why do you participate in this community? What keeps you here?
SpyCoder77•1h ago
I participate because I am not currently employed and have nobody else in the dev space to interact with, and even though this place is pretty parasocial, I still like it.

If I asked you to send me 1000$, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

How often do you play outside?

Besides life imprisonment without parole, what other punishment is appropriate for those who use the term "compile" to refer to what an assembler does (which is literally "assembling" not "compiling")?
