Programming

1. Something is terribly wrong and all hell is about to break loose. Not a good feeling at all.

Literally don't give shit about 1. anymore.

You must be the shittest programmer if executing your code successfully is a big win for you.
Your code quality must be in the red and anyone who has to look at that dumpster fire is in for a headache.

Making runnable code isn't enough. It needs to be sustainable to develop with - especially when it's not just you in the team

Yeah, modern IDEs already show compilation errors at real time before actually compiling.

I always freak out when it works well for the first time. Not when it compiles lol

@TeachMeCode oh shit, I thought it meant when it works the first time. doh!

@Demolishun no worries. I think that’s what the comic strip meant

I always feel uneasy when it works on the first run.

Anyone else that just got a wave of nostalgia for back when IDEs, compilers, code editors, etc., were simply all just their base functionality? Back before all the autocorrect and error check safeguards.

... I'm gonna go write some php in notepad.exe

@awesomeest you masochist!

@Demolishun not sure specifically what you're referring to.... but i certainly cant/wont deny that im totally a masochist, though not the self-inflicting kind.

@Alexanderr no clue what that means... even tried(not hard) to look it up

@awesomeest

"I'm gonna go write some php in notepad.exe"

Referring to not having modern tools to help. No code completion, not instant lookup, etc.

@Demolishun oh... im legacy. Ive been writing php since at least 8.. so ~23yrs. I can't tolerate anything beyond sublime text with shit like auto brackets/tags turned off... it all drives me nuts.

@Alexanderr never be sorry for making someone look shit up... that's how we have all the learned helplessness and other societal failures. Be glad if you make someone look something up. I have a burmese kid ive employed over 2 yrs. He never spoke to a native english speaker 2yrs ago... my vocab is naturally beyond most uni english professors. Now there's a 21yr old Burmese kid with a vocabulary higher than most native english speakers. It's definitely amusing, especially since he has no clue what's considered normal vs advanced, but he has a rare, marketable, skill now.

I dont like emacs. I'm just an autistic dinosaur; i like things the original way.

How you guys take OP seriously is beyond me. Clearly it's a facebook page owner, that just copy paste's their meme collection on devRant, thinking they're quirky or something.

@SidTheITGuy but objectively it doesn't actually matter. It's simply a mount point for conversation.
