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"
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 do enough crying coding in JavaScript.
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.
Silly. It's easy.
;-)
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
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've used a semicolon; I've done it many times with confidence.
So you never coded JavaScript ;)
Semi-colons are optional in JS (;
I never use semicolons; but when I do
Coward
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.
That's why they call it a semicolon; you're never more than half sure you're using it right.
Identify two adjacent sentences. Replace the period with a semicolon.
Identify two adjacent sentences; replace the period with a semicolon.
That's all it takes; there is more to them, but that's a valid use of the semicolon.
TL;DR: ;)
Programmers do not share this weakness; semicolons are common in most programming languages.
Would the sentence still make sense if it were a period? Then you used it right.
Sometimes I'm pretty sure I could/should use a semicolon somewhere, but then decide against it anyways, because I feel like it'd look pretentious. 🫠
Ah, the fancy comma. I'm not a fan.
I have;
cout << "I am quite confident in this one";
dont you flush after you take word dumps?
