Be like that guy

You just gave me a bunch of flashbacks.

Thanks. And yes, it was almost always for missing a single ";" in the middle of tens of thousands of lines of code. The program was modular so this occurred very often. I am so glad I am no longer involved in that project.

Fortunately sometimes the debugger would catch it or I could run it and just see myself where exactly the code broke. Sometimes it wouldn't even attempt to run and I would have to go line by line and see what line has a : instead of a ;

When I used to code, over a decade ago, compilers would usually point you to the location of the error if it was as simple as a missing semicolon, or a syntax error (usually typos).

But what do I know, compilers these days are probably written by female "engineers", so the compile error could be something like:

"Error in your code, you patriarchal, misogynistic, shitlord! Go figure it out on your own, asshole!"

Don't the modern IDE's tell you where you missed the ;??

Awesome!!!!

his first mistake was using zend.

flaming shitpile. never seen so much boilerplate. it's like "let's take all the worst parts of java and python, and none of the good parts, and shove them all up your ass with no lube."

Great post.

Ive been up nonstop for days, if not weeks, now trying to learn Technical Analysis and reading charts for day trading FOREX, as well as improving my trading strategy. This is just with a demo account, not even real money yet. Shit is way more than a full-time job, even if the actual trade itself may only take up just a few minutes of your day.

Its not coding but I can definitely relate sitting in front of your computer for hours on end, going over all your work with a fine tooth comb in the late hours of the night.

realChebz · 2017-10-15T00:31:24+00:00

bwahahaa I am THAT guy :) Except I don't do php.

p.s. also missed a ';'? Cmon dude it's 2017, get a better IDE!!

OtherworldlyBeing · 2017-10-15T13:31:52+00:00

Don't be like either of these guys. Getting consistent sleep is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

as someone who has no idea about coding these jokes always fly over my head

ZealousMathematician · 2017-10-14T19:33:02+00:00

Ahh! All those semicolons I miss in my C++ class now feel meaningful!

2017-10-14T19:56:52+00:00

That's what happens when you try to be all hipster and shit and code in some text editor instead of an IDE with proper syntax checking.

Belrick_NZ · 2017-10-14T23:32:21+00:00

; missing is like a 4sec spot n fix...

UrbanEngineer · 2017-10-15T02:00:25+00:00

ITT: MGTOW is actually all programmers.

Vision_Ultimate · 2017-10-15T02:01:45+00:00

Fuck java, don't have to deal with this shit in Python

brownbag18 · 2017-10-15T02:41:22+00:00

More like: because of a weird deadlock situation.

kevjay17 · 2017-10-15T02:59:20+00:00

Nooooo. Programming is the Devil's work.

eluusive · 2017-10-15T04:23:32+00:00

That's php. If he spent that long trying to find out where he missed a ';'... I want him nowhere near my codebase.

sindrone7 · 2017-10-15T05:14:08+00:00

I have been. Fuck python up the ass

38SPL · 2017-10-15T06:47:40+00:00

I'm teaching myself C# at the moment with a Microsoft beginners programming guide. It's just for something to do and to determine whether software development could be a potential career move in the future.

Starting to think I'm not really cut out for it. Mad respect to all you programmers out there. It seems difficult and something that would require a lot of patience. Patience isn't one of my strong points unfortunately.

justicecantakeanap · 2017-10-15T10:47:24+00:00

I like the joke here, but it's just plain impossible today to miss that while coding, unless you are just programming on just a text file like a badass.

marlon_brando_diet · 2017-10-15T12:56:48+00:00

Use a linter, man.

brownbag18 · 2017-10-15T15:17:36+00:00

Who knows. This is a scripting language. What if the semi colon he forgot was in a script loaded dynamically at a later time during runtime from the database...

brownbag18 · 2017-10-15T15:18:24+00:00

Code beauty is essential because programming is an art. Gender has nothing to do.

brownbag18 · 2017-10-15T15:19:13+00:00

Programming is the best but you need a fun motive rather than patience IMHO.

brownbag18 · 2017-10-15T15:19:45+00:00
