Every since I've stared programming, I've been doing it almost everyday. But, I haven't programmed at all this week, and I already forgot the command to compile a C++ code.

It was just one week. What kind of idiot forgets things in one week?

Yeah, nah, it's not just you.

I forgot the difference between a reference and a pointer in C++ in a weekend even though I was actively using both in an assignment.

Annnnddd now I'm depressed again. :P

@Xilats

You have just described me...

Talk. Talk. Talk.
Oh look. Now I am depressed.

@ewpratten and me... unfortunately

me

Who needs knowledge when the interwebz is a thing

@tehdoctor Because one day, someone will spill coffee into the building router. And you can't get online using your phone because you are on a PCI Compliant site. The horror....

@D3add3d @ewpratten .....It just kind of crops up from no where, huh. "Oh, I suddenly can't remember how to do x annnnddd sad."

It seems so arbitrary and yet it hurts ALOT.

@Xilats hahaha. Or it will be January 19th 2038. The buffer overflow of death? The bubonic buffer?

@tehdoctor That sounds awesome. "What was that popping sound?" "Oh, that was the ram. It had one of those weird bubonic buffer growths."

For me syntax are not so important, what matters is logic, algo and dream of grandeur (^^)

Make a build task (shell command to compile your code) in VSCode. That way you can just task->build task. Haha

I've almost given up listening to music while coding.

I just listen to random framework related youtube videos that play in the background, because if I don't I'm sure to forget things after a week or so :(

dudes : the manpages exist

I can forget things much quicker than that, but then I've probably had more practice. Sorry, what were we talking about?

I used to work with C#, and one day, afriend of mine made me play around in a java IDE. When i returned a few hours later to C#, it took me what feels like forever before i got back on track

The command is "make executable_name". How can you forget that?

@tiberius1900 make acts on a Makefile.

you have to set up the Makefile to invoke the compiler.

@tiberius1900 only if you have a makefile ready.

I guess she forgot g++'s flags or something

@ObiSwagKenobi
Yeah, that's right.

@Xilats @ObiSwagKenobi

If you only have one file make doesn't need a makefile. If you have more then one file you should use make because writing in 3+ file names every time you want to compile will take more time then writing a makefile once.

There is never a reason not to use make.

I forget things so quick that i don't even try to remember anything anymore. You can always google things like apis, syntax and build commands. Don't even worry about it, it's okay

@uyouthe
But it's tedious.

It happens to me when working on a certain language for a while then going back to another one, I start mixing stuff first couple of days 😅
