@chadd17 it is, that's why I cried
-
@Glamhoth I didn't realize what was wrong with it for a good minute, and when it did, I was baffled by the impressive overengineering.
Maybe the last guy got paid by the line. -
@chadd17 I hope he did too!
-
@-eth Was it sarcasm?
-
@CorruptComputer not useless, just additional safeguards 😂😂😂
-
@Jijel nope, it's not :(
-
@Akio I've never been employed. But is that for real? Some bosses really ask you for a certain amount of lines? How is this amount decided? And why is there such a limit? Isn't short code bette, as long as it's readable of course. I have so many questions...
I can understand the need for an upper limit. But not the other way around. -
@Jijel Sadly I can't tell either... I'll start working on August 1st but I assume it's not like that.
-
@Akio good luck. Hope you won't have any rant to post.
-
@Jijel I hope not but it will happen I guess... Companies are still full of idiots who act like shit and write code that's shit. But usually I rant about problems that require like 1 small change and I can't figure this out for like half an hour.
-
@Jijel some places do. The best way to avoid that crap hole is to not take a job where they do that kind of shit and if they start doing it then quit. Trust me your time and knowledge is wayyy too valuable to be dealing with crap like that.
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
I recently got my first job and I already saw code that I won't ever forget
for(int i=0; i < 2; ++i) {
switch(i) {
case 0:
~~~
break;
case 1:
~~~
break;
case 2:
~~~
break;
default:
~~~
break;
}
}
undefined
first job
who codes like that
wtf
c++
