Excuse me if I don’t appreciate when the compiler adamantly refuses to do its job when there’s one single unused variable in the code, when it could simply ignore that variable and warn me instead.

I also don’t enjoy having to format datetime using what’s probably the most reinventing-the-wheel-y and most weirdly US-centric formatting schemes I have ever seen any programming language build into itself.

Pretending that the distro package manager is a suitable tool is not enough? Kids these days smh

C dependency management is the worst. I thoroughly dislike how it works over there.

Which is why I love concept albums where the artist sings a bunch of songs that tell some story of a fisherman who catches a magic mermaid type creature who can cure cancer, but the mermaid type creature ends up becoming a trapped carnival attraction at a freak show instead. Or about the story of a mad scientist type dude who conducts experiments on his patients, creates an evil demagogue who then becomes a tyrant whose reign ends in a terrible war that causes a lot of death and destruction. Or about a bunch of AI who find themselves in disagreement with their creators and then say bye to the solar system and just fuck off into deep space.

It’s an error message matrix (the messaging application) throws when something goes wrong that makes it unable to decrypt messages.

Floating point errors are a product of how floating points work as a mathematical concept. So they’re independent of the programming language and can happen everywhere.

In this case though, I doubt it’s a critical issue. So the player “died” when they actually had 0.000000000027 hp left or whatever. Who cares? Do you need to be that precise?

Have they given an explanation as to why that is? I mean why make it a fatal error that prevents compilation, when you could make it a warning and have the compiler simply skip it?

To you, maybe.

Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren’t there before. All in a good night’s work.

Sql errors: there be a syntax error roughly over there I think. Or maybe it’s a semantic error somewhere else I’m not entirely sure. Listen man all I can say is that this one comma there definitely has something to do with it probably, and the error is most certainly either to its left or to its right.

In most actually companies you can try push to origin master, but it’ll likely get rejected by the repo’s security policies.

Sure, if the rest of the team is first semester CS students doing their first group project. This is not an obscure 1337 h4x0r trick only known to programming gods writing COBOL code inside banking mainframes, it’s a simple operator.

At the very beginning of the game you get presented with 2 bills to choose from. “Fuck Cancer” is the official name of the bill that cures cancer. The other one ends world hunger and is called “Let Them Eat Cake”.

The "return type <5 paragraphs of various word salads> is not compatible with " error messages are anything but easy to understand in my opinion.

My company recently made a website for some finance company. They told our designer what they wanted, the designer did her thing, we presented the design, they gave their feedback, we made changes, and at some point we arrived at a design that the client approved.

First thing the client did after the site went live was to completely replace all the text. All of it. The design was specifically made to accommodate the text that they had written themselves. The new text was SIGNIFICANTLY more than what the site was designed around, and of course it broke the whole thing.

“Why does this section look so bad”, asks the client. Could that be because you pasted four whole paragraphs into a box that was supposed to display one short sentence, you absolute moron? The site’s been up for about a week and they’re already demanding a rather extensive redesign of the whole thing. Why the fuck did you approve it then?

Man if you actually use proper http status codes instead of returning 200 to every single request no matter the outcome, you’re already better than a lot of “senior” developers. If you’ve written any amount of half-useful readmes or docs or even comments, you’re well above the average. If you’re aware that git has more than 3 commands, you’re well on your way to godhood.

I got one of those. Thing’s been a pain. Last time I let it run, it drove into the kitchen, did a small donut over a tiny spot immediately in front of the door, drove back out into the hallway, proudly announced that it had completed cleaning, started towards its charging station, made 2 attempts to park, missed both times, announced that its path was blocked, and just stopped. I absolutely do not trust that thing to be able to do anything unsupervised, at which point why even have a robot vacuum? I don’t use it very often anymore.

Because it borrows instead of stealing. Its memory management is more ethical.

I use python exclusively when I want to quickly throw some shit together that nobody’s ever gonna spend any time maintaining, so that tracks.

Programming is just one part of the whole process of creating software. There’s more than just writing code. There’s also planning, design, architecture, testing, deployment, maintenance, etc. All that is engineering. Unsurprisingly, people with software engineering training tend to have a more complete idea as to what goes into it all.
