I forked an opensource project to add a couple features for my wife. 😊

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 133 points 1 year ago

And? Did she accept your, err, pull request? 😏

This is the kind of love I need in life 💜

So cute! And practical!

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 32 points 1 year ago

For half a second I read this as "to add a couple of features to my wife"

You can also combine your names into a Linux distribution.

Deb + Ian = Debian.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago

I bet they've broken up since

[-] MrothersInArms@lemmy.zip 98 points 1 year ago

The word "Debian" was formed as a portmanteau of the first name of his then-girlfriend (later ex-wife) Debra Lynn and his own first name

Wiki

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 year ago

"Later ex-wife" is like three tenses of information at once.

Once when I was still a kid, I told a woman I loved her so much that I could only love her more if she was a robot.

She did not think that was romantic.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 year ago

there are so many things wrong with this

[-] Caboose12000@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

I think it's kinda sweet for a kid. I mean what's cooler than a robot when you're 7? that's pretty much the pinnicle of "cool" at that age, or at least it was for me. So to compare a crush to a robot for a kid is similar to shakespear comparing thier lover to "a summer's day" or Selena Gomez comparing thier lover to "a love song"

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 year ago

I, uh, wasn't 7. I was about 10 years older than that and just dumb.

I was thinking about you when I cleaned up this codebase and removed a lot of redundant functions.

[-] float@feddit.de 41 points 1 year ago

That sounds more like breaking up.

I send my wife code she has nfi idea about but knows I'm proud so she pretends to be impressed.

I win her heart over by making life much easier through technology and handling all that shit. When she can grab a PS4 controller, hit start, and sit on the couch, she knows not all ladies get their TV and sound system on, all inputs adjusted, game mode set, and Nintendo Switch home screen come up ready to launch Zelda.

"Babe, I could IFTTT the lights to drop to a gaming atmosphere and have your phone go into DND mode if you want. Just let me know."

I made a website for my wife with a list of a ton of reasons why I love her and each time she taps the screen it shows a new one.

So... that is a thing you can do for the cost of a domain name and some cheap hosting.

Naming a release code name after him/her?

Thank you for correcting my life in many ways, here's the cumulative bugfix release:

FreddyCLI 1.1.3 [Lisa]

[-] snowe@programming.dev 50 points 1 year ago

Turns out Lisa has a crippling bug that bricks your computer.

No. They'll just name an entire lineup of the worlds biggest computers after your daughter.

I wrote an automation specifically for my partner to unlock the front door when they arrive home.

Also we got a sexy time button.

Home Assistant is a path to what many would consider... Unnatural.

When I was learning programming I wrote a small program that I called for_you.exe. It printed an animated ASCII penis ejaculating on some boobs. I emailed it to my girlfriend and thankfully she thought it was hilarious. We're still together.

[-] bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 36 points 1 year ago

You can tell your age by the fact that you were emailing an exe file.

I mean Steve Jobs named the Lisa after the daughter he disowned. There’s opportunities here.

Naming variables after loved ones. Stephanie += 1 Stephanie/bob = Jeff

If Jeff == Stephanie: Jerome(Stevens)

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

Keeping programming as far away from my relationships as possible.

Instead, I distract them with the fact that I'm a pretty damned good cook and know where the best hole in the wall restaurants are.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn't have to remember how to do it. And I didn't even name it after her...
