Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where … coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant…
This is psycopathy?
Having actual competence in one’s field?
Oh god we’re all doomed, they’ll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.
quite ironically, they are using syntax, specifically / , to indicate a specific kind of meaning afterward.

I’ve seen all these used to more explicitly indicate that the previous statement was sarcastic, or a joke, due to irony being largely dead, but also to help with people may not natively read/speak/write english.
So think of how you put an asterisk around words to bold / italicise them on sm. In html it would be <b>bold</b> or <i>italics</i>. The slash is an “end format” indicator
So /s or /sarcasm means “end sarcasm” and indicates by reasoning that the previous statement was sarcasm.
The diamond brackets got dropped because with them they were being interpreted as actual html commands on early forums

EDIT:
Welp, I’m sure thats a good sign, lol.
Pretty sure it’s gonna be the stake
It’s a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.
I’ve done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been ‘politely’ asked to leave by the staff.
The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was… hacking into … something?
They didn’t know what, but they were very concerned.
I was unable to convince them I was not, because ‘terminal’ = ‘hacking’ to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.
Oh my god that’s hilarious.
I thought so too untill they threatened to call the police.
To be fair my wife is a smart lady, but she still thinks I’m invoking some arcane hacking magic when I’m messing around in the terminal.
You mean a BOSS-nian?
Knowledge and skill have now been demonised
Why not both? Probably worshipped at the stake.
But how do you remember the syntax???
/sarcasm
What’s that / mean?
I think he’s searching for sarcasm, no?
Tone indicators, check internet usage section. Hope this helps!

In html you end a text style with a /

what?
Wayland based tiling compositor

Yeah my question is does this person and 40+ upvoters think using Hyprland is a sign someone is a competent software engineer?
Your question was “what?”. Appreciate the follow-up question though.
I think he means HyperTerminal. It was the predecessor to Putty basically for serial connections.
No, he meant what he wrote: hyprland

correct, you and droppedpacket beat me to it
This gives me “old man yelling at clouds” energy.
I quite literally yelled at the introduction of ‘the cloud’ as yet another stupid corpo buzzword.
…
I was working at MSFT the first time someone hsd ever asked me if I had a ‘cloud’ backup.
What? Do you mean a remote server, offsite?
No, no, in the cloud!
5 minutes of research later.
Oh, so yes, you do mean on a remote server somewhere.
No, no, in the cloud!
