I like the C#'s response 😂

[Raí B. Toffoletto]

C# made me laugh! 😂

[tq-bit]

C++ sounds like your average senior dev after PM explained customer demands. Love it

[Abhishek Keshri]

this is gold! 🪙

JavaScript's response actually fits Ruby & Scala.

I am proud to be in the "if it's boring it must be automated" team.
Boring/Repetitive tasks stop me from doing the interesting things I chose my profession for.

I take it as a chance to improve my overall skill-set. I am not only a web developer now, but also an Azure Pipelines Poweruser.

Never used PNPM btw, but I really should, I am having lots of problems with the latest Yarn releases.

[Nik F P]

I'm biased because I use PNPM.... but I agree with this bell curve.

My code is literally unstealable.

Because I public-domain almost all of it anyway.

[cubiclesocial]

There's no such thing as public domain for software. And, in the attempt, you probably make yourself legally liable for any damage your software causes anyone else whether perceived or actual. The best you can do, to date, is offer your software under the very liberal MIT software license, which contains the requisite protective NO WARRANTY OR FITNESS clause. A software license protects you, not your software, from unnecessary and very expensive litigation.

I'm not a lawyer. The above information comes from discussions I've had with the Open Source Initiative (OSI) specifically about public domain and software licensing. If you want legal advice, you should talk to a lawyer. OSI licenses like the MIT license have already been vetted by real lawyers and you should select and use one of them.

[𒎏Wii 🏳️‍⚧️]

1. I use the unlicense, so there's a fallback in case public domain doesn't legally work

2. there's also a "no warranty" clause just in case

3. that wouldn't matter anyway because if it just said "public domain" and that was void, then it would default back to "all rights reserved" and I wouldn't be liable for shit because nobody would have a right to use it at all

4. I'm fairly confident that such a clause is kind of pointless anyway as I'm not selling my code or advertising it for business purposes and it's very clear that I'm just some random person on the internet writing code, but I haven't felt the need to look this up because 1., 2. and 3.

Anyway, here's the license text for reference (I also have some older code under MIT)

Sounds like a bunch of IANAL bringing up legal criticisms mostly intended to cc0 that, if they apply to the unlicense, would equally apply to the MIT license (which, for example, has the exact same warranty paragraph that the most upvoted answer calls "inconsistent" in the unlicense)

The part about it being "illegal" in Germany is also a bit weird.

[Hauke T.]

I'd like to see the lawsuit where some big company points at some random guy who posted some code online: "That dude! Its his fault! He put the code online. We just copied it and used it without looking at it. After all: He did't put a sign up there: 'I am not liable if you use it in a nuclear power-plant.'"

Its going to be hilarious.

[cubiclesocial]

Unfortunately, within the current legal system in the United States, anything is possible.

[𒎏Wii 🏳️‍⚧️]

I'd be lying if I said the legal system of the USA is anywhere high on my priority list when choosing a software license tbh.
