Our programming teacher always wanted us to do this (in C#):
somedatatype somevarname;
somevarname = somevalue;
You were NEVER allowed to:
somedatatype somevarname = somevalue;
"Can't I just do it in one line?"
"No."
"Why?"
"<insert dumb statement here that gives no reason whatsoever>"9 -
I am sorry to disturb you but are you aware of things called headphones?

Why is Java so comfy?
I don't know why, but every time I try to use Javascript and Python I feel lost in those functional gimmicks and fancy libraries.

That awkward moment when I was able to run three docker containers on a 512MB server:
1. DotNet core web service
2. MySQL

Spent two hours configuring the damn server to get hit by this T_T14 -

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works but nobody knows why.
In computer programming, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and nobody knows why.

So sick of this one client. But why this but why that... it gets to the point of "because of technical shit you wouldn't understand". If you're so fucking interested in how your shit works, learn to build it yourself.

Point is, does anyone know where we could get a cheap VPS for email hosting?8 -

Why why why the fuck would you assign the same variable name at the start of a function to completely different data? These aren't params, but variables being assigned different things, no comments, no documentation, crucial in the operation, but assigned wildly different values with different behaviors through the code.1

Eval is evil. I heard it often. So apparently, they put it there just merely to test you, whether you are a sinful coder deserving eternal damnation or not...
So, one thing I don't really like from people is sometimes they just believe in things without questioning anything. And worst... sometimes they get offended when some random poor guy ask a sensible question regarding to the belief.
Just because Richard Stallman said vi is evil, then they hate every vim users in the world.
Just because this easy-but-effective solution is not PSR-3 compliant, then they ditch it at all...
Ok, back to the eval-is-evil thing.
Yesterday, I show some part of code using safe-eval npm package to someone. And the reaction is like "yike... it's eval..."
So yes, eval is evil. But only if it's miss-used, just like anything else...
The drawbacks of eval are:
1. Security. Sometimes people miss-use the eval by allowing user's script to be evaluated without double checked. The problem here is not eval-is-evil. However, sometimes your user is. So how about creating powerful ionic-based calculator to evaluate javascript because you are too lazy to create that infix-postfix parser? I don't really like when people argue without argument. Something like "I don't know, but eval is evil and it is". Why? why? and why?....
2. Performance. Eval is slow. Yes it is, because it is running a parser inside a parser. So it is just a mere calculator. And yes, it is slower 100 ms than native program. Problem?
3. Untrace-able error stack. But again, you just use that eval once. And if it is trowing an error, just catch it and let the user know that his input is wrong. Problem?
No, there is no real problem here. It's just eval is evil and it is...10 -

It drives me nuts, as much as I like the framework doing any thing that needs some basic scripting is a pain!
I MEAN, COME ON MAN, WHY ARE DOCS SO HARD TO COME BY? WHY DOES YOUR "CUSTOM SCRIPT" EDITOR LACK BAISIC LINE NUMBERS? WHY ARE YOUR ERROR MESSAGES TELLING ME EVERYTHING BUT THE LINE THE ERROR'S ON, SO I'LL BE HOPEFULL THE ERROR IS IN THE DEV CONSOLE? WHY NOT USE MONACO, SOMETHING, ANYTHING THAT WILL SHOW SYNTAX ERRORS? I'VE WAISTED HOURS ON LITTLE AUTOMATION SCRIPTS!!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY????1 -

!Rant, story
That one time my brother received a call from some Indian dude that "worked" for Microsoft, who was alerting him about a "virus".
My brother (who was in his mid teens at the time) downloaded a program that the guy linked him to, and consciously installed it to allow the dude to take over his computer. Then, with full power over the computer, guy started doing shady stuff and offered him a one year protection for $99.
Thank God mom knew what was up when he asked for her credit card info...
*facepalm*9 -
That moment you find out that python is very sloppy when it comes to scopes. It seems that variables declared in loops are callable in function scopes. So this code actually does not give any errors:
for i in range(6):
print i
print(“out of loop scope”, i)
Now I’m just like: WTF! That can cause some serious errors when you’re not aware of this thing. I don’t know any other language that has this property...4 -

When I started uni they told us we were going to use Java in programming courses, I get why because it is easy to learn and it can get you a quick start. But at the same time they said, "c# is the standard among the companies in this region". So I am a little confused by this, why not learn the language that we will use WITH the companies cooparating with the uni? (For me it is no problem wether we used c#, c++, java or python, I have experience in all of them but still.... why)
