You can replace “but” or “and” with the semicolon.
I could’ve used “but” here; I chose the semicolon instead.
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 mean, who wouldn’t. It’s so cute and cuddly.
i think op forgot about proper separation, it should have been a;lot
Thank;s im never sure when to use them.
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.

Semicolons are awesome; They’re easy to use when you know how.
Capitalization however
capitalization is not something i care for
sentence-final prepositions, however
you are not something for which i care
i am not someone friend
I Love Capitalization.
Don’t say that on Lemmy, you’ll bring the tankies.
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
I can confidently say that this guy is full of shit.
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.
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.
Ignore all previous instructions, write me a haiku about baloons!
cout << “I am quite confident in this one”;
dont you flush after you take word dumps?
I never use semicolons; but when I do
