"Unit tests are a waste of time, and we should avoid doing that if possible. "

Kill me please.

Our Web Technology professor taught us this in the year 2016, he said and I quote,

"HTML frames are the latest technologies in the www and are supported by new generation browsers only, for example Netscape navigator."

Am I alone? 😅😂😂

Java + Python = Kotlin?
😂😂😂

It's so true that it hurts...

Sometimes in my company, I just want to shout "Java is shit". But I am afraid my coworkers will beat me, because they all seem to love Java. 😅

When you take help from a pervert developer...

Evil animals... We have to save the world.

I learnt my college junior some coding and development, and we became best friends.

Later I asked her out, and now we are not talking after that. 😅

Girl: What major are you studying?
Me: Computer Science.
Girl: Cool. Can you hack my boyfriend's Facebook, I think he's cheating on me.
Me: Go to hell. 😡

Crazy code.

You know when you come across some code, where you think: “I kinda see what you were going for, but it’s still hella dumb though...” right?

Currently doing some work on an F# backend, and the dev clearly knew enough of the language, but their code makes me question a lot.

The problem is simple: use a third party tool to generate images of each page in a pdf.

Said tool supports:

1. Querying the number of pages
2. Getting all pages as separate images in a single invocation

Can you guess how the dev solved it?

They’ve recursively incremented a page number, called the external tool to grab the image of that page.

“But how does it know when it’s run out of pages?” I hear you ask.

Simple. Catch the inevitable exception, and check against a hardcoded string literal to see whether it says “must be before the end of the document”.

I shit you not.

I nearly had an actual seizure when I was debugging some semi-related code and ended up in this wonderland of fuckery.

The recursion and pattern matching was flawless though, yet the tool’s website clearly states the supported functionality.

The whole thing feels like they tried to do it the right way, but couldn’t be bothered / couldn’t get it right, so they ended up creating this insane bit of madness.

Not learning data structures and algorithms. Not learning programming languages. Actually not learning anything to answer during a job interview.

I am more of a learn-while-you-do kind of guy. I never learn anything, instead just do it. Interviewers think I am useless because I know nothing. But I can get a job done, any kind of job done. I have no learning period, I can start working from first day in a all new language, in a all new IDE, in a all new OS.

I know nothing, and I learn nothing. I am a problem solver. You got a problem, I can solve it.

I ❤️ F#, this function is both beautiful and was an utter nightmare to create 😂

I am feeling lonely and depressed. Don't feel like to code. I am introvert, don't have friends. Idk what to do. 😫

var does not mean dynamic

If it crashes, it's linux :/

Even the OS installation crashes, they call it stable release with LTS.

My personal resume website. Damn my lazy ass, can't do anything. 😥

When you see it...

Java code as C++ solution -_-

A day spent coding, is a day well spent. 😌

It took away my life. Now I have no life. 😂😭

I am working on my personal resume website (with a lot of css and jQuery).

Two days ago, I got a job offer, so I started preparing for the interviews, leaving the website aside.

Then, yesterday that company turned me down. So, I left the interview preps and started working on website again.

Then, today there is another job opening and I am now again preparing for interviews, keeping the website on a pause again.

Also, I have my internal exams coming up this weekend.

I don't know what should I do. Idk what I am doing. 😥😥

Earlier I used to help my college batch mates and juniors in coding and development stuff. Sometimes I used to do some projects with them myself to help them learn. Sometimes I used to go beyond limits to debug their errors, even spending hours with them physically or through TeamViewer.

But now I have realised that I had been no more than just stackoverflow.com to them. They just call me when they need me and don't even care about me as a friend.

So that's it. Now I have stopped helping such people. I don't care if that's rude or arrogant. I just don't want to do this. If they still are a friend, well and good otherwise they can leave. I don't care anymore.

Jump start into making a project from the new technology and stackoverflow how to do anything.

Is it just me or are there more people who get immense satisfaction and happiness resetting their PC and their phone?

Like I was kinda depressed for some 2 days, and today I re-installed Windows in my friend's laptop and now I am feeling up again. Now I am resetting my PC and my phone 😋.

Feeling super motivated and hoping for a better start. 😁

So there is this guy with a startup, who wants me to work with him like a co-founder, putting innovations in to the startup. But I want to work like an intern, I will code, you will pay me money, if something breaks, I'm out.

Idk for how long, we can continue like this. Sometimes I feel I should leave, but then I think about the extra pocket money (I am a student). But he calls me like 10 times a day, talking for 15-30 minutes on phone, repeating the same things again and again, which really pisses me off as an introvert.

Should I leave the extra pocket money for some peace of mind?

So I was installing ubuntu alongside windows in dual boot.

The installer had some problems while partitioning the disk, so I did it manually using GParted. Then the installer had some problems while installing GRUB.

Now I got to know that my windows partition has been corrupted and ubuntu isn't installing.

My fully functional laptop is now reduced to metal crap with no OS being able to boot. Fuck Ubunu. Fuck Linux. -_-

Functional languages like Haskell, F# and so on have been designed by Satan himself to torture poor dev souls

I offered my college junior a referral in my company, and she said she doesn't want to be favored and wants to get a job all by herself.

So I am thinking if applying for a job through referral is really unethical or against someone's self-respect? 🤔🤔

What happens when you see a person offerring referral opportunities on linkedin or other social media and apply there?? In that case, it doesn't seem so wrong. Maybe it was a little too personal offer that made her think about her self-respect? 🤔

Hello, does anybody know a good templating library like Liquid for .NET?

The problem is that it has to work well with F# and immutable types.

I'm in love with F#, the tooling can be a little buggy if you're used to TypeScript or Java but before learning it I've never been able to solve a real life problem with less than 10 lines of code

What's your favorite editor for fsharp/f#?
Mine is vi.
