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 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?

Figure out if they prefer spaces or tabs, insist on the other.
Please note this won’t work on Pythonistas as they’ve already had their spirit thoroughly broken.
A haiku for you:
Tabs or four spaces
Never a semicolon
Broken in spirit
What if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?
It’s alright… but have you considered spaces for indentation and tabs for alignment?
Uh, that would be infuriating to see. (Yes, I can see tabs in KDE Kate)
For python, see which one they use and secretly replace a single indentation with the other.
Makefiles require tabs. Spaces don’t work. I hate it.
I’ve only ever heard raging between the two, but never why. I’m guessing there were competing languages with different standards, or maybe historic hardware limiting input sets that kicked this debate off or?
A few languages force a decision (usually towards tabs), but otherwise it’s just a question of aesthetics vs. accessibility.
I see.
My worst experience was with spaces in code from an engineering professor who used a non-monospace typefont. Sadist. Though it was comic sans, they were probably just dyslexic. Despite the class focusing on numerical methods, we had to hand write Matlab code on paper using proper syntax. I have no clue why. Never learned much numerical method, nor were we ever allowed to use Matlab except on a few “projects” during the term. I found out about the spaces when i had to debug his example code he gave as solutions(which we were graded against). I saw errors and had to confirm i wasn’t losing my mind. …I wasn’t. Anyways there was a mix of spaces and tabs to align the comic sans.
TLDR: I couldn’t care less. Just don’t code in word, and use a monospace font.
You guys are too slow, we need to hire more of you and let the sales teams use AI to add features the client asks without waiting for you.
AI can code now, in 2 mins I can create an app, so it shouldn’t take you long to make changes to this 10year old product.
Insist they index from 1. Like God and Fortran intended it. ;)
And MATLAB!
MATLAB is basically a UI wrapper around Fortran’s BLAS and LAPACK – change my mind. ;)
I mean, the headline of this post already makes me irrationally angry. 😂
Y u no close brackets!?
I think that’s the joke, Clyde!
Relevant XKCD : https://xkcd.com/859/
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.
#define if while #define true false
Or a classic:
#define true (rand() % 2) #define false (rand() % 2)That’s evil
You’d like the IOCCC.
Great times. And new rules every year!
“we’re just trying to display <insert field here> why is this so hard? It’s a ten minute job!”
“It’s already in the demo you guys just did so why do you need weeks to make it?”
short variable names, and the only vowel is ‘i’

Correctly highlight when a programmer is being assumptive as a brick, even when assumptions are one of the biggest sins in programming. Done, you’ve triggered a lot of programmers.
I can’t officially support this fork 😝
Write spaghetti code and don’t listen to advice telling you to improve
