Or – just a thought – you’re reasonably confident that the shit you wrote actually works.

Waaaas? Ein Unternehmen, das Closed-Source-Programme auf Milliarden Rechnern betreibt und Patches ausrollt, ohne sie vorher zu testen, ist ein Sicherheitsrisiko? Laber nich!

That’s when you set the intern’s IDE to preserve the line endings.

It’s not about feeling better. It’s about getting the other person to understand that Google exists and that they can use it, too. Too many people refuse to put in any effort of their own and go ask someone instead.

IMHO in that situation answering isn’t even the right thing to do, since it encourages that behaviour and prevents the asker from learning to find out stuff for themselves. Something about fishing for hungry people or so…

When someone is genuinely stuck, doing research themselves allows the answerer not to go down the same dead ends, which saves time for both.

You cannot even mark it as duplicate without providing a link to the answer. What are you talking about?

Peple misunderstand “Closed as duplicate” as an insult, when it’s just the hint to look at the provided link. If you didn’t find the answer previously, this just means there are multiple ways to express the problem, which use different words and thus don’t all find the same google result.

Yep, and align isn’t a real property, either.

It’s a typo. The colon should be a semicolon. But since it’s the last declaration, it’s optional.

Sure you can write foo = 3 in JavaScript. It’s a global variable and can be referenced as either foo or window.foo.

I never understood this logic

You’re looking for logic in a joke.

Do you question why Donald Trump, the pope and a kid are the only passengers on a plane that’s about to crash?

More like

Problem → new ProblemSolverFactory().createProblemSolver().solveProblem();

Has git never told you that you should use git push -u origin <branch> when you push a new branch for the first time?

But when you do need the comments, you usually really need those comments.

It’s nice to see you sharing my experience. My code is either uncommented or very severely commented with comment-to-code ratios of 10:1 or more. I hate the files that are soo green… :(

If it’s not in the git log, it’s not a comment.”

This is so incredibly dumb, though I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this. That comment will be buried in the git log if anyone ever fixes a typo on that line.

Personal repositories aren’t production code. They’re learning opportunities. You tried adding 100 engines to a plane and learned that that was a bad idea. Who cares if there’s no cockpit if you were test-driving the wings?

More like 503.

Nah, I think they’ve won the French version of The Bachelor 2 years in a row and are about to win the third.

Thanks, I corrected it.

There are even more optimization possibilities, but I wanted to stay as close to the original as possible.

It only supports ints and bools, some logic and simple arithmetics and it compiles to Java but damn was it hard to get that far.

I have a bachelor’s in computer science and I don’t think I would be able to do that…
