I don't get it. This isn't funny. I wouldn't approve it in merge request. Most wouldn't.

I, too, place 2> /dev/null after every line

Yes, but 2>&1 > /dev/null is the real hero.

edit: works better when used together with StackOverflow.comment.enabled = false;

If it wanted to get my attention it should have been an error

Actually fixing warnings is for noobs

if they mattered they'd be errors I'm sure

That's when you do CTRL+C, CTRL+V

Eh it's Javascript. Anything goes

https://github.com/mattdiamond/fuckitjs/blob/master/README.md

this is fucking gold

Yeah, array.length is mutable in javascript. I'm surprised it caught on.

If i can just suppress the warnings which need to be fixed till morning in my buggy code, anything goes!

Meanwhile in another universe one of my biggest win was to introduce this line in our PR validation pipeline.

eslint . --max-warnings 0

Works so well, and soothes the warning annoyance brain, and keeps warnings from eventually becoming errors.

In a codebase with a lot of warnings is even better for me to add a disable comments for all the existing warning and then not allow any new one in.

And then each time a part of the code needs to be touched the existing warning there should be solved too.

if (error) {
    continue;
}

On Error Resume Next

Visual Basic is a beautiful language

On error goto 0 

Was always syntacticly confusing for me.

try {
    operation();
} catch {
    // nice weather, eh?
}
with contextlib.suppress(BaseException):
    do_thing()

☑️ PR Approved

Starting with Java 21 (I think), they've introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:

try {
    operation();
} catch (Exception _) {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel

So basically the same as a discard in C#?

Yeah, Python has it as well. I think the only real use of it is code readability since you declare that this variable will never be used.

Same thing right?

If your joking yes, if your not Java and Java Script are seperate things.

His joking?

Actually made this mistake in front of 20 people the other day. Guy at my job mentioned coding in java and I asked if he was doing web dev 🤦

Plenty of java back end web development, so maybe not as embarrassing as you felt?

He said "I've been closing in C# and Java for 2 years" and I asked, in front of everyone, "are you doing web dev?" And he just coldly said no

See this could have been fine if I didn't double down and go "then what are you using java for... OH WAIT"

Thanks. I hate it.

Warnings? We’ll come back and address those later. Maybe once we’re feature complete. Or maybe shortly after that.

Don't worry. We'll totally fix all of them soon. Promise. Hand to God. They definitely will not be here five years from now.

Warnings are for ignorings :3

If I can't see it, is it really there?

If it works, it works

I would add: until it doesn't.

This is why:

"It ain't stupid if it works."

is fundamentally incorrect.

Sometimes it’s better to hope while closing eyes
