45 minutes into a technical presentation called "Architecture Meets Design", I realized the guy built houses.7

What do you guys think of my office? I do all my web dev work on a monitor mounted above my bed using my split Infinity Ergodox keyboard / trackpad. Probably the most lazy / ergonomic / comfortable / geeky setup possible. 🤓11

Not a missing semicolon, but a spurious one:
while (...); {

}
I'm not proud to say, shit took 2 days to be discovered, and it was discovered by a friend. I was just so confident about what's written there, I didn't even read it.3 -
1. Code works
2. Add if statement
3. Code breaks
4. Comment out if statement
5. Code works
6. Uncomment if statement
7. Code works
8. Wtf??12 -
When you're deep into coding and every 15 mins a project manager taps you on the shoulder to see how it's going.2

Always thought programming on a MAC would increase productivity. Got one, now all I do is changed iTerm themes.4

Why do all my friends think that I am hacking Facebook, when I am just coding a crappy game engine. xD2

That moment you have a designer fix something on the project you working on and pushes conflicts to your repository..

In college when we had programming labs where we had to use the schools unix server to compile and run.
My professor was very bad at explaining what actually needed to be done in the labs to the point where even the TAs didn't know what to do.
We were suppose to write an application in C to find out by "trial and error" how large we could make an array (or something like that, it's been too long). This not being explained well and no one knowing that much about C, I wrote a loop that just kept growing an array until it couldn't anymore. I watched it consume 72GB or memory from the servers before quitting the loop and realizing with the TA what the professor really meant.
I now feel bad for the IT staff monitoring the system wondering where 72GB just went...2 -
I help first year Computer Science students at my uni. In the first few weeks I reviewed someone's code to find he had 253 variables called var1, var2, var3 and so forth. The even worse part: he made the same if-else structures for every variable without using a loop.
if (var1 == something) {
//huge chunk of code here
}
else if (var1 == something) {
}
else {
}
... var2... var3
The funniest thing about this is that we had a discussion about this, because he claimed this was the right way to solve his problem.5 -
Anyone else suffer from this.
Have a brilliant idea, start computer, open you IDE, write a few lines of code as proof of concept and then just loose interests coz it's no longer a challenge !6
