i can't imagine what the code behind magic the gathering would be like. some of the cards are wildly specific like "gain 1 land if one of your other creatures is wearing a hat", and then suddenly the devs have to add a "has_hat" check on every card dating back 30 years

Just noted TypeScript and VS Code still has no support for Web Workers? That's somewhat impressive. Probably more poo poo on the ES6M pile, as Workers have no support for import maps at all and that's still quite 💩 Slap the VS Jest team for their work too. If I force "color" output, at least I can scroll in the terminal the output, but it's not really parsed to any useful effect. "less -R" doesn't work at all in a terminal, so some improvement at least. If I disable forcing the colour output then the VS Code extension just gobbles up all the output and hides it unless you run in debug mode. So many questions. It would be nice if VS Jest only ran the tests for code that changes, maybe it's trying to do that 🤷♂️ I hate webdev tooling. and webdev.

how is nuget so loving bad god drat I just want it to output the dependencies so I don't have to bother writing them in the nuspec file manually and apparently that's too much to ask and nuget spec just outputs a bare "here's an example for you to do urself!" file

Apparently for the new one they've got a setup that automatically produces code for the simple cards based on the rules text, and they only need to program the new mechanics and complex cards from each set. Which I'm sure was very fun to write, but I don't know how much programmer time it saves in practice.

our tools team think they're such hot poo poo but I swear none of their stuff is any good if you even slightly scratch the surface. today's adventure: their client library is giving an error that's like "data server not found in connection list" which is utterly meaninglessness, what it actually means is "you don't have permission to connect to the source. would it kill you idiots to actually throw a custom exception? Or even just put in a meaningful message? apparently! bonus: the permissions are done with IP whitelisting so when you reconnect to the VPN you lose them because your IP gets reset. it's completely unclear if setting a hostname works because it's not loving documented. e: this is the same client library where they didn't document the dependencies either so you had to work them out by calling stuff and working through the stack traces to find the missing dll names.
