Most people want to be special or unique but what are things in which no one wants to be special or unique? (lemmy.ml)

I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you've been slacking off for a few days because you know it's small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

oh my God it's like you're in my head get out of my head. I'm reading this because I'm trying to catch up on sleep and need to distract myself from the dread, so this hits way too close to home lol

I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.

Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I don’t think it ever got fixed, but didn’t keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.
