90% of programming I have seen after a decade plus of doing it full time is minor changes being made to code that was already made by someone. Likely not documented. Likely already changed in a dozen little ways. Math isn’t the problem. Understanding what the guy who wrote it is often the problem.

Oh and you can’t ask them because they likely don’t work here anymore.

Being a programmer is more like being a detective than anything else unless you work for a small company.

I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y’all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

Not going to lie, I feel like I don’t get it.

Mirror + bandaid + paperclip + packing tape = boom? It’s like a bad 80s tv show.

Imagine being that guy on the bike going down the road second before. Holy shit dude.

I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like “Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
… Wait what’s that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?”

I am pretty sure those wires on the fpv drone was a contact sensor. That is brilliant. Simple loops that when you hit something they get pushed together.

I got kicked one time completely at random. I was confused more than anything. Like, what? I thought about it and decided I had a simple solution. I just host every game I play. I know I love Democracy. If it’s my finger on the button I know we are in good hands.

It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.

I would reject this pull request. Why is the indenting all over the place? Why is your keyword capitalisation all over the place? WHY YELLOW?!

Edit: the more I look at this the more it pisses me off. Wtf is going on with your kerning? Just random number and placement of spaces. Also, why is the table name in caps? Who does that? Select * is lazy. Do you really need every field about a girl? Really? Worst of all, not a limited request. I sware this is just the kind of thing that would return 30 million rows and brick the database for twenty seconds.

As someone on a phone that can’t get the video to load for some reason, can you please spell the sound as phonetically as possible for all our amusement?

Sir Chad carries a twelve pounder hand cannon, and when he ignites the powder the ball sails true into the main deck of the pirate, but the recoil capsizes his vessel.

I love how you think it’s over then some mfer gets out of the car like “wut”? Like, what the hell? I’m here saving your ass, what were you doing?

Stupid sexy Flanders.

That is awesome. And maybe this is a dumb question but… Would that actually make the report of the gun louder?

I wish I could show this comment to people who built a multi million dollar project for the government using just these kinds of tools. But maybe you can only get away with that kind of thing in government contracting work lol

That’s what I said when I joined a place that wrote almost everything in blueprints. Somehow all the other devs didn’t think it was possible.

It’s code, but without automated tests, comments, style rules, and often stored in binary files making change management a nightmare.

It’s trying to paint but you can only use your fingers and also one of the other devs ate all the red.

An amazing story, and just downright perplexing. It is a shame you never found out what on earth was going on in the CTOs head. I would love to understand the thought process (or lack thereof) that went into that.

This thread went unexpected places. I can’t even imagine the pain. I hope you keep printing little bits of joy for them.
