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

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???

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

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

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

Heh, had already boosted, liked and bookmarked it, nice! 😄

I had no idea that Tumblr was active again? I thought all Tumblr posts from the past 5 years were just recycled old stuff.

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

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

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

Thanks everyone, I figured it out.

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.
- Dave. ( @dgriffith@aussie.zone ) 8•4 months ago
You should release what you’ve written as a framework, that’s what everyone else is doing.

We’ve got a good name for it
- Naich ( @Naich@kbin.social ) 2•4 months ago
I feel that the nature of my framework is too simple and too focused on a specific goal to be worthy of the name.

Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.

GUMBIES isn’t real, it can’t hurt me…
- JakenVeina ( @JakenVeina@lemm.ee ) English20•4 months ago
If you’re unsure about GUMBIES, you should take a look at this video.

My wife is in accounting, and I always thought they have too many meaningless jargons.
Now I know how I sound when I talk to her…
- I Cast Fist ( @ICastFist@programming.dev ) 20•4 months ago
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.
- mcmoor ( @mcmoor@bookwormstory.social ) English6•4 months ago
It’s my full time job handling it but I’m still not actually sure what “orchestration” is.
- AlexWIWA ( @AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml ) English1•4 months ago
I still don’t know what it is. I will keep it that way on purpose
- sajran ( @sajran@lemmy.ml ) English12•4 months ago
Man, I’m just chilling and relaxing after a week of SE work and this resonates with me very deeply
- bier ( @bier@feddit.nl ) 10•4 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!
- Exocrinous ( @exocrinous@lemm.ee ) English8•4 months ago
Look, the crystal maze is absolutely essential to run Woodchips without a waterslide. You can complain all you want, but unless you want to run back to Microsoft for your woodchips deployment, this is the way. I’m not saying Gumbies is perfect, here, just that it’s the only viable unix implementation. If you want come up with your own sandcubing solution for Flurble, be my guest.
