the legit people here that still work for someone\something else... like you... always tend to reinforce my life decisions. thank you.

a few times, whilst consulting, it's been necessary to fix some bash... or batch... pile o' scripts, due to everything suddenly going SNAFU (generally also the reason i was there... not cheap for them).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the 1st 2x i tried to just find issues and tweek into a viable system-- horrible waste of time and a new black hole created next to any hopes i had for humanity.

i swear, it was akin to those og cartoon tropes where they find a hole in the boat so they plug it with their finger, then another hole opens... etc,@Root

time 2, i gave up\wrote new... asked 2 devs that worked there(w\crap scripts) awhile, apparently disliked each other, to each make a simple, complete, list (and flow) what the crap did. best list won.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
wrote most of it b4 seeing any list. seeing the lists, i had them each format\comment\document what i wrote (high functioning, not pretty, code, esp then).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
showed their work to their sups(lvls up too). i pointed out tons they didn't need me for; they needed like a school chart with gold stars, and the 2 working separately.
|

|

comical as it is, it's mind boggling for me. i get i think differently, on a phys\electrical lvl, but crap like that always seems so obvious to me, despite months+ of failed solutions.

that said... i pity the fool whod ever need update most of my scripts. think, the concept of CSS, ~5 world languages used, w\abbreviations, no\rare comments & some (nowadays) extreme methods of resource optimisations (like manually using binary for storage based per item\var),I ended up messaging the seller(not sure if i got a response cuz i havent been back to look for one)...

from the way it was written i just reeeeeaally wanted to know if he realised that no standard\marketed (basically anything not specifically made for some unimaginably ridiculous reason(s)) computer can ever boot to BIOS if it has no RAM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
so... did he mean that somehow BIOS, with working RAM is somehow non-functional?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
... aside from someone directly opening it up and removing or, with much skill and precision, intentionally shorting out only the BIOS storage chip... id really want to buy it just to discover why\how.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
does he not know any OS, including BIOS requires RAM?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the only other thing i can think of is that, for some, likely nonsensical, reason, he really wanted to make sure that a potential buyer wasnt buying a gutted computer to play in BIOS (which tbh sounds nutty even to me... and on rare occasion i write code in winre)```
