Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅

    I thought the joke here was that your unbalanced parentheses would make me angry (they did))

      I clicked into the post expecting more text and then realized that was the joke.

      Congrats OP, I am both upset and entertained!

    Insist they index from 1. Like God and Fortran intended it. ;)

      Fuck C and it’s lazy shit pointer arithmetic array indexing shortcut. I.e. you just add the index × size(t) to the array pointer.

      Bounds checking? We’ve heard of it.

            And sun glasses, don’t forget the aviators.

            While Mr “I can’t code without a garbage collector” is still putting on his backplate of “oh no pointers are bad” and a duck typed full face helmet, to ride his interpreted moped, the big boys, Mr C-ool and Mr ASSembly, are already downing grain alcohol at the finish line.

            But then again I really don’t like to step out of my embedded RTOS bubble. It really depends on what you want to accomplish and how complicated your system is.

        MATLAB is basically a UI wrapper around Fortran’s BLAS and LAPACK – change my mind. ;)

    I have this great idea for an app, we can go 70/30 on it! 70 for me because the idea is the hardest part after all. So basically it’s Twitter plus Facebook plus Tinder with a built in MMO. You can get that done in a couple weeks, should be pretty easy right?

    Micromanagement to speed up product release date. Daily meeting and status reports, work breakout categories such as ‘code design’, ‘code development’, ‘code documentation’, etc,etc (flash back gif of Apache helicopters flying over a jungle

      That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.

      Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!

        Tell me you don’t know what a programming language is without telling me you don’t know what a programming language is

        I think what people generally mean when they say programming language (other than just a language to write a program) is that the language is turing complete. Even with this more limited definition, JavaScript, Bash, and Powershell are turing complete and therefore programming languages.

      I inherited an old Japanese codebase. Tons of stuff was just single-letter variables. Apparently, this used to be at least somewhat common here. I spent a lot of time just updating code to replace vars with something meaningful (and found bonus bugs due to improper scoping with same var names as a bonus). Didn’t have an IDE that would easily do it for me at the time and running something like sed felt too risky.

    I work as an embedded developer and when a new board is produced and half tested, every one expects fully functional code off the bat, right away.

    Motherfucker, you didn’t even qualify your hardware and you expect my code, that hasn’t hit the new board, to be 100% functional, based on your mind map? We will find hardware issues that will inevitably be blamed on the code and spend hours “debugging” the code to eventually find out the hardware is shit.
