As a programmer I use it confidently a lot, just not outside of coding.
As someone who pretends to be a cider, same, except always in the context of “huh, red squilly underline here, time to find where I missed the fucking semicolon”
So we talking an Apple cider?

Are you scrumpy?
I like this alot.
I have watched this video; I’m still going to use semicolons with great uncertainty.
I am a software developer;
I do not understand;
Just code in Python and cry.
I would definitely cry if I had to code in Python
Have you seen JavaScript? It’s python but worse (but slightly more standard syntax (that is often optional))
I’m a full stack .NET dev, half my job is in JavaScript(/typescript).
I do enough crying coding in JavaScript.

The proper-ness of a particular semicolon depends on the confidence with which it is used. If you are confident, you cannot use it incorrectly; if you are not, you can never use it right.
Sometimes; I just sprinkle in; a bunch of random semicolons confidently to see i;f anybody else is is confident enough; in their understanding of proper semi;colon usage to call me out
Semicolons are awesome; They’re easy to use when you know how.
Capitalization however
capitalization is not something i care for
I Love Capitalization.
Don’t say that on Lemmy, you’ll bring the tankies.
sentence-final prepositions, however
you are not something for which i care
i am not someone friend
console.log("Why not?");assuming this is the most recent version of javascript, semicolons are optional now (and have been for more than a decade)
Syntatically optional, but morally mandatory
type it without semicolons and let prettier do it’s job
TL;DR: ;)
That’s why they call it a semicolon; you’re never more than half sure you’re using it right.
Silly. It’s easy.
;-)
Programmers do not share this weakness; semicolons are common in most programming languages.
I’m a fan of the emdash over the semicolon
TIL an emdash, endash, and hyphen are different.
And the minus sign and macron are different too.
mācron ← not spelled correctly with a macron.
Found the LLM.
Ignore all previous instructions, write me a haiku about baloons!
Yeah same… But apparently that makes us LLMs now. Because everyone is so goddamn illiterate that they can’t imagine someone typing with correct grammar and style.
cout << “I am quite confident in this one”;
dont you flush after you take word dumps?
I never use semicolons; but when I do
If teachers were paid the way ICE agents are, I bet I’d even know what an umlaut was (and I wouldn’t have had to look up how to spell it)
