programmers are always posting like "worked on tracking down an issue with a Flurble deployment for twelve hours. the problem wasn't in Flurble at all - it was in the Gumbies install. It turns out if you install Gumbies 3.0 over Gumbies 2.7 and don't do a cache flush on all the client spiders they'll get stuck in the crystal maze." then you look up Gumbies and the site is one of those scroll scroll scroll types with one sentence per page, like

"GUMBIES is a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

GUMBIES automates and streamlines away watersliding phases, meaning your team can get right to the chipping.

See why Microsoft, OpenAl and Bloingo have embraced GUMBIES in their Woodchips workflows."

and you get to the bottom and you're like I want this I guess but I still don't know what it is


chaussurre

Maybe there wouldn't be as many issues with the crystal maze if GUMBIES POSTED DOCUMENTATION. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU WORK YEARS ON A STABLE GUMBIES CLIENT SPIDER API AND NOT WRITE A LINE OF DOCUMENTATION DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO NOT USE YOUR SOFTWARE???


jv (verification badge Γ— 7)

Oh and WHY THE FUCK THE OFFICIALLY RECOMMENDED NPM PACKAGE FOR GUMBIES HAVE BEEN IN VERSION 0.1.1 FOR SEVEN YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE DEVELOPED BY "powerwolf112", who hasn't answered a single message in GitHub since 2021????

For all the bells in hell, there are massive websites that are using this amateur crap to defrumbulate their typescript decorators!

found this thread while trying to debug an issue just checking if anyone knows whether GUMBIES is backward compatible with Pea Gravel playground deployments or if its exclusive to Woodchips thanks in advance

Since this was originally a Mastodon post, here it is :)

It's fun that it went: Mastodon (fediverse) --> Tumblr (non-fedi) --> Lemmy (Fedi)

[–] [email protected] 59 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is the fediverse starting to get rolled into the mainstream content farm. Might help our cause and get more people on the bandwagon.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday about the five guys burgers and fries price complaints, and it quoted word for word comments I saw on a thread here on Lemmy the day before that.

Yeah usually we just go from Tumblr to Fedi. This is kinda interesting.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

Turns out the content holds the value, and the hosting platform is a mostly replaceable and interchangeable delivery mechanism. Who would've thunk?

I won't lie, but content like this is what I love on programmerhumor.

Also just use the (inferior) open source version of GUMBIES called GRUMBOSS. It's way better!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago

The recent regulation changes at the end of February kinda killed GRUMBOSS though.

LUMBIES is open source MIT and GPL3+

Just saying.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Yeah, but LUMBIES is missing catScratcher integration! That's a core feature for my use case and the dev has taken a (ridiculous IMO) proud moral stance against any sort of felidae-adjacent features

I am not 100% convinced that this is satire...
Gumbies isn't real... Right?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 8 months ago

Wdym? Gumbies is a must-have for any competent Summit developer these days!

[–] [email protected] 57 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Give some JS dev about fifteen minutes

Gumbies isn't real, but if you can explain to me how CI/CL or github actions work using only their documentation I'm going to proverbially eat a hat.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

using only their documentation

Wdym, are you expecting me to explain something using nothing at allβ€½

This is really very relatable, some projects lack both clarity and documentation, and trying to make sense of internals from the examples is a mess of a process

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Funny you should mention GitHub actions. It's exactly one of those tools where I was like "this seems cool. I would like to use it, but I don't even know what for..." and then when I tried to look into it some more I was just more confused than before.

I experienced a new hell today

The whole of the documentation was in video format and you had to accept all cookies to play the videos

At least with GUMBIES not having documentation there is a wide thread of people asking questions on third party sites

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This was legitimately part of the reason I went with Laminas instead of Laravel for a project. I really don't want critical documentation to be in video form.

Wait a second... Is that a Mastodon screenshot on a Tumblr blog?!?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Quick! Screenshot it here and post it on Facebook! The cycle must continue!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (8 children)

I'm not on facebook, so I took a screenshot and put it on discord

By the end of the post chain, I could no longer tell if this was a joke or not.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It'll be extra fun in a few years when someone names their project after this joke.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

And stop answering on GitHub after 7 years on v0.1.1

Every time I want to do something, I have a look around the baffling ecosystem of frameworks and end up writing it from scratch because it's easier than wading through the bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

You should release what you've written as a framework, that's what everyone else is doing.

GUMBIES isn't real, it can't hurt me...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Oh honey, just because it's not real doesn't mean it can't hurt you. Just look up Roko's basilisk as an example.

ThomThumb:

@anarchywoofwoof I found some documentation that answers your question: https://www.deadlink.com/dontevenclick

anarchywoofwoof:

@ThomThumb Thanks, that's exactly what I needed, so glad to have the answer to my problem. I'll leave this up for anyone that has the same issue.

Does anyone have a way to fix this in the latest version? I've been looking all day but none of the answers I've found work.

The GUMBIES page being one sentence per scroll scroll scroll is right on point for a fuckload of projects. Even the text feels like it was copy pasted from a real project

Kubernetes homepage is the real life example of this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (3 children)

There are innumerable examples.

My typical attitude is "I was fine without "latest fad" until now, I'll still be fine now that I still know nothing about it". And I forget about the whole thing. It'll probably vanish fifteen months later anyway.

As an aside, who even makes those caricatural, utterly content free websites, and then pats themselves on the back thinking that's a job well done? They've obviously put some amount of work into those things. Is the point to make it seem like it's a cool super secret society or what?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's my full time job handling it but I'm still not actually sure what "orchestration" is.

Man, I'm just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

This makes me want to die

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

I just found out GUMBIES 7 isn't backwards compatible with GUMBIES 1.

And yes I know GUMBIES 1 was released in 2013, but still what the actual fuck!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I use Gorillas with Grandparents instead as the performance is much better. Do you know how bad Gumbies looks on your resume? It came out in 2022.
