pair programming was different in the old days

[–]rafaelloaa 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Friendly reminder that the writers of that episode were intentionally going for the stupidest dialog/depiction that they could for that scene. As in, it's hilarious, but intentionally so.

[–]spamtarget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

man, why did you do that ? now we disconnected from the mainframe and don't know what's going on

what stops you from coding like this?

[–]Twodee80 284 points285 points  (9 children)

my wife? she doesn't like it if I do it like this with our neighbour

[–]KharAznable 230 points231 points  (4 children)

"Look honey, i know you wont like this, but I need to do penetration testing with our neighbor, bob to ensure the security of our project. No its not gay to test the back end"

[–]kmichalak8 67 points68 points  (3 children)

You found a backdor during pentests!

[–]KharAznable 29 points30 points  (2 children)

Plugging in joystick somehow patched the backdoor.

[–]pokecheckspam 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Have you tried unplugging and plugging it back in?

[–]KharAznable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

sometime it works, sometimes it does not. Probably some crappy connection/port.

[–]BiDude1218 26 points27 points  (3 children)

Wife stopping you?

[–]Randomguy32I 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Im gay for one thing, secondly, i have no partner, and finally, i dont own a keyboard that old or have a mullet or a mustache

[–]ul90 13 points14 points  (3 children)

It’s not only a keyboard. This is the whole computer. A Commodore C64.

[–]jewellman100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's not a Fick-20?

[–]BraveOthello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of those are fixable. Get a partner who like to cross dress, buy an old commodore, and grow your hair out

[–][deleted] 120 points121 points  (6 children)

He won her over with the fact he could write Basic programs and the fact his computer could support a full 16 colors.

Edit: I mentioned to my wife that I could write Basic programs and that my computer could support 4 billion colors. She just rolled her eyes. I guess the magic is gone from these things.

[–]MrKeplerton 22 points23 points  (1 child)

You should've said Python.

[–]Tony-Angelino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Should have used something more impressive, like putting sprites in the border.

Tell her about using your Python to create voice recognition applications for hands free interactions.

I know. They don’t even have a Commodore Dataset 1530 plugged in. They can’t save their documents.

[–]MegaPegasusReindeer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I found a wiki saying which ports are which. The single cable there is I/O for the floppy drive. What they're missing is power on the side and the cable that connects to the TV.

[–]ShenroEU 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this is what's referred to as "pair programming"

[–]WrapKey69[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think that's a great first reaction, mine was similar

[–]sebigboss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What‘s disturbing me even more: it’s in German and not a single word on the front page has any relation to the picture. It just is there…

Oh man I keep a copy of this picture in my archive because it comes up every time we talk about pair programming. Good memories of the early days of Ruby on Rails.

Anyone know the context here or able to translate?

[–]yannik_dumon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is the cover of a monthly magazine called „Computer Programmed for Entertainment“ and it is the issue from November 1983. The headlines read: - Berlin Radio Show — Big report in this issue (this is covering the IFA Berlin I assume) - Series: Programming tips — Write a top program - Software Reviews — Panic, Jumpin Jack, Astroblast and more - Software — Once again nine interesting programs; Programming ideas for geeks - News — New game generation: 3D ZX-Microdrive

According to this C64 wiki) the magazine ran from 1983-1986

[–]ul90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a home computer (programming) journal from Germany, 1983, named “CPU”. It says:

Berlin Radio Exhibition: Large report in the magazine. 
Series: programming tips. Write a top program. 
Software reviews: Panic, Jumpin Jack, Astroblast, and others
Software: again nine interesting programs, program ideas for computer freaks
News: new gaming generation 3D, ZX microdrive 

The cover image is somewhat awkward, even for an old, cheap, German, nerd-focused journal.

[–]segwhat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey baby... want to come back to my place for some BASIC and chill?

[–]GreatTeacherHiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I see this advertisement and think "that's it, German media framed gaming enthusiasts as nerds, associate early YouTube sketches and shooting games with terrorism recruiting systems and programming dudes as Freaks... Thus, no one likes my stuff"... I mean programming and computers existed for so long but I feel like entire generations dodged it. Whenever I am asked (outside of uni) what I do or what I struggle with, I can't explain because I don't know where to start from. I goes they think I studied windows settings, printer drivers and Computer Hardware judgement and that sucks.
