When you're in VSCode with 10 different red squiggles, who can be bothered?

Edi: Also, OH MY GOD JUNIORS WHO WON'T JUST GOOGLE THE ERROR MESSAGE.

vim supremecy

I first started programming with TurboBasic which had the oh-so-amusing characteristic that you could have variable names of any length but the compiler only used the first two letters (and case-insensitive at that). So "DonutCount" and "DoobieCounter" actually referred to the same variable.

Really good times trying to debug that kind of shit.

I'm trying to write an intentionally bad programming language. Don't give me ideas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make sure you add a "Variant" type lol.

Oh you sweet summer child. The Variant type in VB was so much worse than just a String.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just complaining since I have the fortune of using a language where everything is represented as a string.

What is 3 + 5?

A lot of people would say 8, I'm glad I didn't have to correct you.

Python issue

You all use notepad to code?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

According to my recruiter, you code on a whiteboard.

These memes are made by first semester cs students

I was taught java my first semester. I certainly hope no schools teach dynamic languages in the first semester.

I had to edit code on terminal using nano in production.

Use the great vim, install a linter plugin if you need one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not just use vim? It's preinstalled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not inside a docker container.

I used to write websites with Notepad. The upside is that you really had to learn HTML to do it; the downside is that it proves to the world that you're a fucking lunatic.

Missed an exclamation mark (as in negation) would be better and happens to anyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Or using < instead of <= or >

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Something is either true or false, I would expect to have at least 50% of a chance to get it right on the first try. Nah, I fail to implement it three times because my brain went on vacation without telling me.
