Fifty Ways to Hose Your Code

jjuliano — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:29:21 +0000

The problem's all inside your code she said to me

Recursion's very easy if you take it logically

I'd like to help you in your struggle to learn C

There must be fifty ways to hose your code

She said it's really not my habit to #include

And I hope my source code won't be lost or misconstrued

But I'll recompile it at the risk of getting screwed

There must be fifty ways to hose your code

Just muck up the stack, Jack

Leave out an &, Stan

Make a bad call, Paul

And set your pointers free

Hog up the bus, Gus

You don't need to recurse much

Just hit the wrong key, Lee

And listen to me

She said it grieves me to see you compile again

I wish there was some hardware that wasn't such a pain

I said I appreciated that and would you please explain

About the fifty ways.

She said why don't we both just work on it tonight.

And I believe by morning we'll have it running right.

Then she hosed me and I realized she probably was right

There must be fifty ways to hose your code.

Fifty ways to hose your code.

Just lose the address, Les

Clear the wrong int, Clint

No mallocs employ, Roy

And set your list free

Mess up the bus, Gus

You don't need to recurse much

Traverse the wrong tree, Lee

You just program in C

New comment by jjuliano in "Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans"

jjuliano — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:33:21 +0000

It's quite cheap at $10 at 1000 premium requests (1 request is like a plan mode + implementation + tests + commit & push). The only problem is I have already used it all, but was billed on the 3rd day of the month, and have to wait till next month to use it.

New comment by jjuliano in "Meta’s renewed commitment to jemalloc"

jjuliano — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 20:01:21 +0000

I remember I was a senior lead softeng of a worldbank funded startup project, and have deployed Ruby with jemalloc in prod. There's a huge noticeable speed and memory efficiency. It did saved us a lot of AWS costs, compare to just using normal Ruby. This was 8 years ago, why haven't projects adopt it yet as de facto.

I remember I traded my SNES console for a 9.6bps modem. Spent my high-school nights connecting to BBSs, door games, fidonet. Saw modem speed progressing to 28.8, 33.3 and finally 56k (and I'm still at 9.6k lol). And the joy of trying to use a winmodem on Linux. Those days are so nostalgic.

Why just join a local Kingdom Hall near you? People will genuinely love you there.

Show HN: Learn Dutch with Games

jjuliano — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:43:57 +0000

Inspired by another post. I did something similar back in 2019 but for learning Dutch with games, which I made originally for my child but this kinda helps me remember many A2 words and helps me with the exams. Now I have the Dutch citizenship.

Not as extensive as the site but with the images, interactions, it helps with remembering the vocabularies. https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Joel+Bryan+J...

New comment by jjuliano in "Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)"

jjuliano — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 02:51:20 +0000

I'm a solo founder, and this month, I just got into Cursor vide coding development (from Emacs). Still working and getting accustomed to this new vibe coding as it's easy to mess everything up.

Been developing this AI agent framework for 1 year now. It's very similar to n8n, but exclusively for open-source LLMs. It also just recently got MCP support.

The project is https://kdeps.com

jjuliano — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:34:04 +0000

I'm the developer of kdeps.com, and I really like Google Cloud Run, been using it since beta version. Kdeps outputs Dockerized full-stack AI agent apps that runs open-source LLMs locally, and my project works so well with GCR.
