Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅
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?
[Object object]
Actually it’s [object Object]
Ah, piss. So it is.
I’m going to blame it on autocorrect, even though we both know I just got it wrong
I thought the joke here was that your unbalanced parentheses would make me angry (they did))
… is that not the point of the title?
Insist they index from 1. Like God and Fortran intended it. ;)
And Lua!
Html is a programming language.
That’s right there with calling JS, PowerShell and Bash “programming languages”. I said what I said.
Edit: I’m a developer myself and it looks like I triggered everyone just as the post said. Thanks for playing!
Tell me you don’t know what a programming language is without telling me you don’t know what a programming language is
tbf javascript is not a programming language, it is the language of the devil
What if the devil is a programmer?
Would explain a lot of things actually
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.
Figure out if they prefer spaces or tabs, insist on the other.
Please note this won’t work on Pythonistas as they’ve already had their spirit thoroughly broken.
What if you use tabs for indentations and space for alignment?
It’s alright… but have you considered spaces for indentation and tabs for alignment?
Uh, that would be infuriating to see. (Yes, I can see tabs in KDE Kate)
A haiku for you:
Tabs or four spaces
Never a semicolon
Broken in spirit
I feel like this is a debate that doesn’t exist - 4 spaces bound to tab is the only actual answer.
Hard tabs are much better as someone who works with an age diverse team where vision issues are a serious issue. Four space tabs are optimal for you but there are other lived experiences.
most things seem to have settled on this, but tabs are so much better for accessibility. programmers with bad vision can have trouble differentiating smaller indentation levels, while some of them just bump the font size up so high that 4 spaces takes up too much screen space. each one can set a tab width that is comfortable for them. https://alexandersandberg.com/articles/default-to-tabs-instead-of-spaces-for-an-accessible-first-environment/ has some good arguments
with a forced formatter and a configured editor there really isn’t any argument for spaces
