Oh please, it can do so much more: save the economy, fix healthcare, combat global warming, reduce racism,…

He didn’t use an IDE, but I don’t remember what he tried. He also wasn’t a fan of googling stuff. Use the man pages and nothing else.

Here is my story:

There were console outputs after nearly every line. I asked about them: “Oh, I couldn’t get the debugger to work, so I print everything to the console”

This was everywhere. The whole program was like this. On a standard Linux machine. It wasn’t even remote debugging or something. Just a local C++ program.

The filenames where written in 8+3. Again, on a modern Linux machine. His answer? “You never know where we’ll port this software to”

Onto computers that were outdated decades ago? To embedded systems? Of course he had no answer for this except “just in case…”

I could tell you more, that software was the stuff for nightmares.

Ctrl+C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-P. Another hard workday done.

Ah, I simply avoid that problem by being neither cute nor hot - and therefore single.

Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.

What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

• Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

• Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

• Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

Oh I think people in real life also have to make sense, it’s just often messy, corrupt and a mixture of narcissist and egomaniacs screwing over everyone.

History books don’t tend to write about that but simply parrot the official story - which doesn’t make sense because it’s white washed and sterile and missing important facts.

All programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug.

By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work.

One day AI will get there.

With a sigh he cleans the up the tally for the 7th period. “Can’t call it near death anymore”
