How to crush a developer.

Step 1: Ask him to code in VBA.

No further steps required.

I spent my first two years here crying on the inside... The assistant director was dead set on keeping us a VB shop making web based forms apps. I was so glad when she retired and we were able to move to C# and MVC.

I'm speechless 😐

I once used it for fun, it was at a weekend job as teen where I didnt have internet and only a PC with office. To make my work easier I made a piece of software which predicts the order for a certain customer and after a small check it prints out the order details. If its incorrect you correct it and the algorithm will take this in mind next time.
After I made that I worked from 7am till 8am and then was just waiting for truckers to pick up their tomatoes.

@Codex404 are your sure we're asking about the same thing? VBA? As in, the excel IDE?

@polaroidkidd yes excel. I like puzzles, programming in VBA without internet is a big puzzle

@Codex404 ..... How.... Do you still have the code?

Tbh it's not so much VBA they annoys me as the crappy IDE. but I guess I'm suffering from the IDE version of the python syndrome (I've only ever been using IntelliJ).

@polaroidkidd no since there was no internet and usb ports (no connected once at least) the only way to transfer it would be by printing it.

And Im not working there anymore and so are my boss and 2 colleagues at the time.

Ask 'em to code in Java

Ask them to code in assembly

I'm actually working with that, in my intership trainning!
And honestly I don't really like it xD

@zhel protip. Use option explicit to stop you from accidentally creating new variables when you wanted to assign an existing one a new value

@polaroidkidd wish I knew that existed.
