you should have made a .gif of that special moment. Truly the .gif(t) that will keep giving for years

I find putting an _ in the middle of a var name to be more annoying tbh.

replace variable names with a, b, c etc. then walk away, slowly

Break your assignments down into sections to get a structure: intro, point 1, point 2, evaluation, conclusion, references etc etc. Then break your sections down into key parts/points (tasks).

I did this on both my undergrad and postgrad, and it helped me complete mammoth assignments with minimal repetition.

@C0D4 OneNote? Damn, you just OneUp'd me! I will report to my scrum master tomorrow with news of this new technology!

@Ederbit You arrogantly put binary in your about section, like anyone has time or care to check it, you took a job without knowing what you are doing, you listed languages you use as tools for the most part over functional languages you will work with, you asked for opinions but argue with what you don’t agree with, and you are like a dog with a bone. Let it go. You got a summer job, good for you, you clearly have some hang-up against C#, and I don’t care why or what it is.
You missed the point twice with this so I will dumb it down more. Java is shit because of the C++ reason I have given twice. Just because you don’t know C++, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Your profile says good at Googling, so go learn the definition of verbose… Wait, I get it, you like making me repeat myself, because you like java which is full of repetition, oh man, you dragged this joke on for a long time! Good one! You really got me there!

@Ederbit I'm not offended, i'm just more surprised you are still going and pushing your defence case for Java instead of listening to people or doing some research. You even had to try to have your last ditch attempt and say leave it there after I already told you the conversation was over after making fun of some of the things you have said in this thread. Honestly, fuck what i'm saying, stay as you are, I don't give a fuck. I know that I wouldn't hire you because you clearly fixate on one language in a childish manner being better than another. Your list reply was so stupid that I just called you dumb because I'm bored of you now. You clearly don't want to listen or care what people say, you just want people to agree with you, so fuck off to a java forum then. When you finish school I hope you learn to not be so narrow minded

@Ederbit let's leave it at that?

Let's leave it at this: you're dumb

Can you pass me that rubix cube, I want to show you a trick

Everyone knows PowerPoint is how you track tasks, slide by slide /s.

Breathe.

@Ederbit 2:
My other objective points. It’s repetitive, verbose, boilerplate, no LINQ, over designed, dominated by inexperienced students. Also: C# has no exception checking, better ENUM support, delegates and less noise.

You have listed Bash, Batch and Powershell above C# as your preferred programming languages when for most devs, they are tools that support your main working languages. I don’t know how much conversation is left at this point. You clearly prefer java.

@Ederbit for some reason I can't reply to your comment in one go, so I will split it up.

It’s not about you knowing C++ it’s about java’s removal and reimplementation of features, badly.

VisualStudio is an extremely powerful tool.

In Java you need to write getters and setters, in C# you do not... so I don’t follow how you can think it is simpler when it's objectively not.

Java is taught at schools and universities because it is easy to learn, and you arguably have a higher chance of being employed for an enterprise solution, which is debatably 'archaic'. It’s a good gateway language into better languages.

@Ederbit honestly few of my points were subjective and could be disagreeable, but most were objective. Good luck with the summer job.

@Ederbit I will try to keep this comment short, in a point form and not a rant.

Too verbose and repetitive, boilerplate, it feels (opinion) primitive making it slow and boring to program, it's repetitive. Java removed all good things from C++ to re-add them as some "bolt on" solution. Over designed, under performs, your IDE is not VisualStudio. No LINQ, MSDN > Oracle, properties suck. etc. I could go on. C# is just more precise, faster and is mostly used in more in-depth task solving professional environments (no source/opinion) meaning when seeking help on StackOverflow, you often get better answers from experienced programmers. Big-up Jon Skeet!

One thing Java has got going for it is it's dominated by students learning to program so every question you could ever ask, has probably been answered in one way or another, you just have to do a lot of digging if you are doing anything complex.

And, installers should not be allowed to try and sneak-in offers. Shitty java...

I prefer C# over java any day. I hate using java

Careful! @IllSlapU is on the hunt for people who self censor profanities /s

Just walk away slowly...

@L8NightScience bitbucket is free and ethically seemed pretty good at the time. Might not be now but v0v. I use sourcetree on all my machines for git, so it seemed like a good transition.

I came from perforce on private servers before GitHub and I'm soo happy to be well away from that. I do wish bitbucket had a cleaner interface though, gets messy when you have a few projects on the go.

I moved from GitHub to bitbucket. Now I use it for all projects; work and private.

@simpleJack yes

No, unless it's poorly written.

Honestly, I rarely leave comments because I make sure my variable and method naming has good readability so that another programmer can follow along easily. If I have to use short variable names in something like swift, I'll leave very small comments. No need for an essay...

Force them to use over 40% special characters, ban dictionary words and do forced resets every 7 days for security reasons.

Oh I was at Robert party. What a good time was had by all. We all shared credit card numbers for fun. /s

@CtrlAltElite I bet they screw up not as a junior too
