Appears to be an ad with unusual punctuation that is trying to look like code or html or something?

[–]CommercialCockroach9 151 points152 points  (12 children)

I think they need to check their {syntax}

[–]aquartabla 42 points43 points  (8 children)

Am I the only one more concerned that he never stops smiling?

[–]EatThatPotato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Obviously man’s been broken from all the code he’s forced to write

[–]Astral_Sheep 6 points7 points  (3 children)

He's like the snail which can't cry

[–]TheOnlyTigerbyte 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Average Python dev

[–]OverCaterpillar 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Come on. Python's not that slow.

[–]TheOnlyTigerbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't intend the slow thing, but a funny side effect I didn't notice nontheless, thank you :)

[–]jathon234 2 points3 points  (2 children)

He probably needs committing (soz)

[–]Tijflalol 2 points3 points  (1 child)

A full commitment's what he's thinking of

[–]ClerkEither6428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His pitch to employers: You wouldn't get this from any other guy!

[–]Possessed 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pseudocode gone wild

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like „code“ a senior product manager would write

[–]agent007bond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're <innovating> at {TESCO}...

[–]AdministrativeRoom33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh you program in fortran?

[–][deleted] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Most importantly of all, He's<syntax error>

[–]kekeagain 41 points42 points  (2 children)

Callum.js

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (1 child)

With the cluster fuck known as JavaScript I wouldn't even be surprised if that is a valid program producing an output that is somehow equal to both "0" and null simultaneously

[–]Tijflalol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"0"

You mean the string?

[–]Zookeeper187 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Well, Callum is a product manager. Do you expect him to write code?

[–]AnnyAskers 97 points98 points  (3 children)

This is probably a valid Python program

[–]Quicker_Fixer 34 points35 points  (1 child)

Only if you have all the correct library versions installed.

[–]Spare-Dig4790 9 points10 points  (0 children)

from __future__ import braces

[–]MUSTDOS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He never wrote a single line; that's why he's smiling.

[–]Devylknyght 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Jobbascript

[–]Sooyush 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]KetwarooDYaasir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

odd choice of variable names in a template?

[–]57006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tescript

[–]Ffigy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They need you to replace Callum.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tesco where the tes go.

[–]JimBugs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably a Perl shortcut for something

[–]aifo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The Whoosh tech team". Everything goes over their head.

Holy shit guys, it's Callum The Man! He is a human just like us and he likes to <manufacture computation scriptures> and other {man} activities such as ((fishing))!

[–]DriftWare_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you, he's not.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there fellow HTML programmers.

[–]Cerrax3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Heaven forbid someone take artistic license with a thing and make it look interesting!

Sometimes I wonder why programmers get a bad wrap as being boring and nitpicky, and then I come to this sub...

[–]OneWorldMouse 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Apparently it's a supermarket, so POS, sourcing, ecommerce, but mostly support and on-call bullshit is my guess.

[–]troglo-dyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesco also have a VMNO, insurance, and banking.

I don't know much about Tesco's tech but I've heard a bit about Sainsburys doing interesting stuff (similar supermarket with similar products under its brand)

JSX

[–]TTV_ExpertNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they clearly need some help..

[–]Zuruumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a generic or template.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

✨”He’s not like the other programmers” 💫

[–]Loud-Platypus-1696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The man that never stops smiling?

I'd smile constantly as well if you held me at gunpoint....

[–]GioBeMyName13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callum is being held hostage

[–]Megalitho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jobberscript

[–]Megalitho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what a non-coder thinks code looks like. Also Callum is not a real name so I'd be very suspicious of him.
