coding sucks, i try to google a basic thing and its like 'here's a billion nearby things that arent quite right, if only you had slightly more knowledge about programming so you could modify my example to be what you need, but you don't so you're screwed'

This is exactly why I am not a programmer. I hate this and am very very terrible at it. And debugging. I fucking despise debugging. I’d rather spend an hour with my hand in the Dune gom jabbar box than spend 10 seconds debugging anything. The gom jabbar box is a pleasure compared to debugging.

Related point: the coming crash in the number of historians means we are exiting the period where our knowledge of the past was at its high point; which is another way of saying that we are entering an age of neo-barbarism. https://t.co/HxaQ7288Fj

Historians are very important now, which is why the neolibs (et al.) are working very hard to eliminate them.
