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

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

        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.

    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.

      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.

              embedded RTOS

              That sounds like a domain where memory safety is secondary to size and speed… though compile time memory safety guarantees could help.

              Good thing we have so many options!

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

    Compile your kernel with a different version of ld then shipped with your distro. I have this right now in Debian testing and it’s enraging. I’m not even sure if that’s the source of my error

    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.

    Replace a semicolon (;) with a Greek Question mark (;), provided they’re working in a language that uses semicolons at the end of every line, and their IDE doesn’t highlight the difference (which some do now)

      Replace all spaces with the unicode non-breaking space that looks the same.

      Although I know at least some language servers will detect this and mark it as an error, lol.

      Fun fact, Rust has a special error message for this:

      Unicode character ‘;’ (Greek Question Mark) looks like a semicolon, but it is not.

      It also detects other potentially confusing Unicode characters, like the division slash which looks like /.

    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 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?
