How to immediately get your access revoked.

Just don't go doing something super boneheaded like trying to hard-code swear word filters or- oh wait the devs already did that (or tried to, anyway) and told users they were racist for not wanting an arbitrary filter because daddy knows best.

- I regret to inform you that I already did something boneheaded

  You were the chosen one! You were supposed to save lemmy, not destroy it!!!!
  
  nah, you at least admit your mistake, that is how we learn the right way. happens a lot in open source code. don't be hard on yourself, just review the fixes and make sure you understand what went wrong. :)
  you're making useful contributions, that's more than a lot of teens (and most adults) are doing these days.

  Don't sweat it man. I've seen null pointer dereferencing cause drones to fall out of the sky so this is not that bad. One time I did a code change that disabled an e-stop feature that stopped the propellers from spinning. Thankfully no fingers were lost because of that! The code was reviewed and passed the software simulation tests at the time. It just got missed.

I'm a teen, and I don't even know how to git. I'm learning, tho school does everything in it's power to stop me.

- Do it.
  
  All the cool kids learn things outside of school.

- Especially for anything tech related, don't wait for a school to teach you, you'll have way more fun and learn so much more by yourself.
  
  At least until college, then it depends...

  Thanks, for the motivation. But I ment it like I don't have time because of school. I have exams due in a week and I have to study 10+ topics in grammar, literature and history. For a week I'm like a zombie.
  
  Wake up at noon, hate life, study bullshit, hate life w/ a numb brain, play some games caz I can't anymore, it's 4am so let's sleep.
  
  I'd like a job for the summer, and I should be working on contacts, or something I can show to my employer, not on literature.

- Git some.

  I once reverted all local changes when trying to learn branches. It's a dangerous game.

- Best way to learn at a surface level is randoms on the internet and Google imo
  
  Bonus points if you get it wrong publicly because then everyone will jump on the chance to point out the things you do wrong

Congrats

Now just work hard for a few years and then when nobody notices, add an m4 file that hijacks ssh

That's actually good. You've probably got more free time to work on lemmy than most adults. Impressive that you apparently got the skills too, so congratz! Also for choosing to learn rust! :)

New zero day drop incoming.

- everyone is going to be able to see my saved posts and laugh at me this is awful

- Assembly code that makes use of deprecated Windows only API calls

I once saw a programmer genius on github which was 17 years old. His username was some anime protagonist.

Consider how big the Lemmy codebase is and that Rust is not the easiest programming language and he gets an invite.

this is the second post mentioning dullbanana, how is dullbanana showing up everywhere now?

- Have you looked at OP's username?
  
  Two posts is everywhere now?
  
  22
- Maybe read the OP username?

Not sure if it’s a good idea to post an image with your email address in it

16
- It's already in my git commits and I want to say "REPENT" to scammers

Now you can add some backdoors to it

^Damn, ^I ^feel ^useless ^again.

Well, congrats!
