A method that contains over 9000 lines of code.....
Are there really production codebases out there with stuff like that? If yes I am scared as hell because I don't want to work with that kind of code once I graduate
Tell your stories!

A girl I know is a Economics major with a minor in CS. Today she told me and a friend how hard their Java course is. I asked her about the topics that get covered in that course and when I asked her about JavaFX.
"No we will not cover JavaFX, only Java an GUI programmig in it. "

Today I learned that JavaFX is not a part of Java :D

So many wifes out there are having this problem right now I guess.

Our Algorithms and Data Structures lecturer would have died on the spot if you showed him code like that...

I want to thank every Indian computer scientist on Youtube. Because of these guys I passed my Algorithms and Data Structures Exam.

By opening the IDE of choice.

Completing the Big Nerd Ranch Android book.

Imposter syndrome.

Not caring about other people at university. Setting my own pace when it comes to learning had a huge impact on my mental health.

The internet in our CS lab is quite good I guess..

Lecturer :" Never ever create UML diagrams because it is a waste of time. Only people who can't code create these stupid things. Just sit down and start coding. "

My journey from not knowig anything about programming to actually helping other student without their lab work.
Gor me that is actually a pretty good feeling :)

Intermediate programming exam today(in Java):
5 min before the exam started the guy next to me :"Hey can you tell me what a lambda-expression is? And why do we need streams? "
According to the assignment description you actually had to solve nearly every assignment with lambdas and the stream API.

Sorry mate.

Use the Pomodoro technique. 25 min focuc followed by a 5 minute break. After 4 Pomodoros you take 20 min break.
There are several articles about that technique.

Amother one:

Seconf CS101 class. We had to write a program that multiplies two parameters in a method.
I asked the tutor for help because it was my forst timr ever writimg code.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THIS IS BASIC STUFF YOU SHOULD ALREAEDY KNOW IN YOUR SLEEP. ANYMORE QUESTIONS? "

Went to the prpfessor and told him what kind of assholes are working for him. Found out that the tutpr is not tutoring anyone amymore because the found someone who is not an asshole.
College is fun.

Professor at Uni: "Missing a semicolon on yozr final exam could be a reason to fail that exam. Coding on paper is much better because that is what you will be doing on the job. "

Hate those written Java exams on paper.

What are the first words that a programmers baby will say?

"Hello World."

A cs degree without indians explaining concepts on Youtube would be much harder.These guys savede so many times.

Thank you David and Tim!
Took some time because i am living in Germany but the wait paid off. Love the stickers!

Had to hand in as assigment for my algorithms & data structure course and really put alot of work into it, commented code, easy to understand and all.
"Why are you showing me copied code from the internet?" was the professors answer...
I did not copy any code and some algorithms often look the same...

Our lecturer writes "extends Object" behind every class in Java. I don t want to live on this planet anymore

It is finally something I am actually enjoying amd what I am looking forward to do as a fulltime job when I get my degree.

"Hey, can you help me with our Algorithms & Data Structures task? I tried to tranlate my problem with Google translator but I can not select the option to translate into Java."

I was speechless when a girl actually asked me that

You know that the Algorithm & Data Structure exam is coming, when you start traversing binary search trees in your sleep

Just installed Ubuntu on a friends laptop because of my advice. I haven't spoke with him since and he was online on whatsapl tomorrow.

You guys think he got hooked? 😄

Job advertisement of the biggest software company here at our train station in Dortmund, Germany.

This describes it pretty well.

I was just setting everything up.

Girl: "Professor I don't really understand the algorithm. Can you please write it on the board again?"
Professor writes down the alphabet.
Girl: "I don't get it."
We were talking about traversing a Binary search tree in Inorder traversal.
