  • Everyone was giving the right answer here, but not why. (Edit: oops, must have missed the response by intensely_human!)

    The preposition “on” is used with “backorder” because it indicates a state or condition of something. For example, we can say “on fire”, “on hold”, “on sale”, “on hiatus” or “on display” to describe the situation of something.

    The preposition “in” is used to show the location or position of something, such as “in the box”, “in the car”, or “in the city”.

    The preposition “for” is used to show the purpose or reason of something, such as “for fun”, “for work”, or “for sale”.

    Therefore, “on” is the most suitable preposition to use with “backorder”.

    (but as someone else noted, you probably wouldn’t confuse anyone if you said “in” or “for”.)



  • I was recently coding in javascript and it was actually fucking awesome. Not because it’s a good language or anything like that…

    It’s awesome because ChatGPT/copilot is really really good at writing/analyzing/debugging javascript. I’m guessing it’s because almost everything ever written in javascript is basically open source, so there is a ton of LLM training material. But whatever the reason, pretty much anything I asked it for, it could write, and I got a ton of shit done super quick.
