I first started programming with TurboBasic which had the oh-so-amusing characteristic that you could have variable names of any length but the compiler only used the first two letters (and case-insensitive at that). So "DonutCount" and "DoobieCounter" actually referred to the same variable.
Really good times trying to debug that kind of shit.
I used to write websites with Notepad. The upside is that you really had to learn HTML to do it; the downside is that it proves to the world that you're a fucking lunatic.
Something is either true or false, I would expect to have at least 50% of a chance to get it right on the first try. Nah, I fail to implement it three times because my brain went on vacation without telling me.

When you're in VSCode with 10 different red squiggles, who can be bothered?
Edi: Also, OH MY GOD JUNIORS WHO WON'T JUST GOOGLE THE ERROR MESSAGE.

I'm trying to write an intentionally bad programming language. Don't give me ideas.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Make sure you add a "Variant" type lol.
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y
It's called a String.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Oh you sweet summer child. The Variant type in VB was so much worse than just a String.
PoolloverNathan@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y
I'm just complaining since I have the fortune of using a language where everything is represented as a string.
What is 3 + 5?

You all use notepad to code?

According to my recruiter, you code on a whiteboard.

I was taught java my first semester. I certainly hope no schools teach dynamic languages in the first semester.

I had to edit code on terminal using nano in production.

Use the great vim, install a linter plugin if you need one

Why not just use vim? It's preinstalled.
alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y
Not inside a docker container.

Missed an exclamation mark (as in negation) would be better and happens to anyone.
