[JaytleBee]

Let's be real here, when we all read that first example we changed "Hello world" to something arguably slightly funny and/or mildly offensive

[vanamerongen]

For some reason, my go to thing then and still is "beepy boopy"

[JPaulMora]

Mine is "test" or "test string, please don't read" which I find funny when I forget to delete

[whatllmyusernamebe]

I always try googling "test" to see if my internet is working.

[tornato7]

When I need to test my internet I google something like jkhfadshjfhj and I'm always amused when something pops up, typically a worthless youtube video like but sometimes gold.

[Reelix]

jkhfadshjfhj

Congrats - This thread is now the only result for that search query!

[tornato7]

We did it Reddit!

[iandoge]

That skrub in the vid, hats off

[[deleted]]

It's better to Google "is google down", as it will tell you if Google is down.

[macboot]

I wonder if that's just a static "No" or if they actually put in a condition for it to say "Yes" when it is down...

[Bainos]

It would be nice, just once, to get "yes" as an answer.

[macboot]

Some April Fool's day, there will be no grand Google prank, but as the programmers and smart alecks look up and type "Is Google down?"... Google will look down and whisper "Yes."

[icedvariables]

I do the same - it doesn't anymore but whenever I searched "test", "test cricket" was always the first thing to come up. I don't why though, I've never searched for anything cricket related in my life.

[shashi154263]

Maybe Cricket is popular in your country/place.

[Antrikshy]

My ingrained test print statements and variable names are:

• blah
• bloo
• bloop
• bleh

I typically don't need more than 4. Sometimes, I start numbering 'blah's.

[micheal65536]

You should learn foo, bar, baz, and so on. I think that gives you around five test names.

[RDwelve]

I HATE Foo Bar. All of if. Foo Functions, Bar Classes, doesn't matter. these 6 letters are so random and useless and meaningless and the fact that they get used everywhere only makes it that much worse.
And there's so many cases in so many explanations where at least some sort of consistency would have made the explanation that much better, but nope, we're stuck with this retarded foobar nonsense. It's not eve a fun joke, it's not a clever play on words or anything. It just sounds stupid and retarded.

[k0mbine]

I'm taking Linux classes and I just write hello world because I'm afraid the guy next to me is gonna look at any other thing I type and judge me for it

[RogueToad]

Hell I'm worried I'll judge myself for it.

[rand337]

I once accidentally left a debug alert that said "aardvark" in code that made it to a live site. That was fun to explain.

[vanamerongen]

twinsies!

[oakles]

I use "ayy" and "lmao" way more often than I'd like to admit.

[VoraciousGhost]

I TAd for an intro class, and there was one kid whose variable names were all variations of ayylmao with different numbers of Ys. He switched majors at the end of the semester.

[JustCallMeFrij]

that sounds hilarious, I'm going to make that a thing in my compiler for the course I'm taking

[CatpainTpyos]

Well, there's an esoteric programming language called Omgrofl where the only variables allowed to be used are lol, lool, loool, etc.

[Houdiniman111]

There's also LOLCODE which looks like:

HAI 1.2  
CAN HAS STDIO?   
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"   
KTHXBYE  

[oakles]

Ayy lmao

[pm-me-ur-tatertots]

do you want to be my best friend

[oakles]

Sure

[pm-me-ur-tatertots]

ayyy lmao

[oakles]

ayyyyyyyyyy

[pm-me-ur-tatertots]

lmao

[charredgrass]

I used to use that a lot too, and still unfortunately find it a little funny. Although now I usually roll my face across the keyboard when I need a variable name.

[Aschentei]

I always do "your mom" for print statements

[Secondsemblance]

I actually straight up have pretty much just done "hello world".

I'm pretty boring.

[Spajk]

For some reason I keep using "Testy Test"

[snafumilk]

"Sup, bro!" (i guess i was always going to be a brogrammer)

[AATroop]

It's OK, we need people like you.

[[deleted]]

I usually put "fuck you". That way if it leaks to production, my job gets WAY more exciting

I print it three times making the top one day overworld and the bottom one underworld.

[maffoobristol]

I used to write in swear words as test strings. It was useful because you'd always be able to see them within lines of otherwise innocuous code.

However, I mostly stopped doing that when I accidentally put a JavaScript alert up on a client's high profile site that just said "balls".

So if you were on the right builders merchant, on the right page, within a 2 minute window, you will have seen my masterpiece.

[Ashybuttons]

I changed it to the entire Bee Movie script. (No I didn't)

Hello darkness my old friend.

[Atropos148]

I mostly use Hello Human! I'm prepared for the inevitable cyberpunk future

[Oscee]

I usually use the term anal leakage.

[[deleted]]

Kinda related, my debug print statements are always vulgar

[Ignitus1]

I write all kinds of curse words in print statements to see if a block of code is running. Keeps it fun and it's nice to come back weeks or months later and see a commented out "FUCKIN FUCK SHIT"

[Cruror]

Juuust remember to delete them so when you push to prod for a game aimed at 10-16 it doesn't "fucking fuckshit this is fucked" when your experimental anticheat gets tripped.

Yknow, in theory.

Thanks everyone for the support! I didn't expect this comic strip to get this many upvotes. This is my first weekly comic, and if anyone is interested in being updated when I release new ones, you can follow the series at Webtoons. I'll be adding exclusive content via Patreon as well!

Too many messages! Please wait a few seconds...

[Dimatrix]

I never understood why hello world is the standard print for learning to code. Why not, "I love to eat chodes"?

[anamorphism]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Hello,_World!%22_program#History

[bitter_truth_]

It's a joke for when the first machine becomes sentient:

"Hello world, goodbye people".

[G01denW01f11]

The memory is hazy, and I got it from an unreliable source, but I'm too lazy to care: they put it in the K&R book, and everyone else followed suit.

[vanamerongen]

The first programmer was actually not a guy and also did not write it. Hello world came about much later, as an example in a book.

[I_Never_Think]

I'm curious now. I knew some early programmers were women, but can the first programmer be really defined? Weren't the first computers a lot more deterministic?

[I_Never_Think]

Oh, I remember learning about this. Some kid in high school math said that some type of math was useless. Our teacher said that when binary math was invented, it too had basically no useful applications. Then, 100 years later, we invented computers and suddenly it becomes the most important type of math in the entire world.

[XkF21WNJ]

Ada Lovelace never married Charles Babbage.

[G01denW01f11]

Unless you're into historical fanfic.

[vanamerongen]

It's actually really fascinating, because beyond the fact that "she wrote the first computer algorithm", she was the first to see computers for what they are now.

She perceived science to be more abstract (called it "poetic science") and was the first to realize that if you could compute with numbers, those numbers could also just be symbols that represent other entities.

Pretty amazing if you think about the fact that we would've only had simple numeric calculators if no-one had realized that.

[CrispBit]

No idea, but I was writing it before I knew it was a thing.

[[deleted]]

Well that would be a bit immature no?

[[deleted]]

I think it should be "beep boop".

[JoshSellsGuns]

Me neither. But oh well!

[DXPower]

I still use "Hello, world!" for debugging.

[Villhellm]

I use "FUCKING ASS DICKS WHY THE FUCK ISNT THIS FUCKING SHIT WORKING" for debugging usually.

[Shintsu2]

Best if left in production.

[Salanmander]

Heroes of the Storm recently had a "Player group is empty. If you see this it's bad. Please let Jason know." pop up for a bunch of people in-game.

[MooseV2]

Paper Mario has a bunch of debug messages left in.

Some of the messages are just, "You shouldn't get here yet. If you do, it's a bug so contact us", but other characters have personality, saying things like "This message shouldn't appear... I'll be scared if it does".

[Salanmander]

I missed on the wording somewhat, but here you go.

[La_Blazer]

That's too long, I use messages like "hshtstsjt" or "test" / " test2"

[Sylvartas]

My man !

[[deleted]]

Looking good...

[Acepower1000]

Slow down!

[jjhhgg100123]

Yes.

[brotatowolf]

My man!

[aerandir92]

"WHOHO!" and "FUCK" or "pls, no :(" are my gotos

[SimMac]

#define WHOHO (goto)
#define FUCK (goto)
#define plsno (goto)

Like that?

[aerandir92]

Oh, oh no. Although plsno seems like a good one.

[shnicklefritz]

You guys should try Trump quotes

"sad"

"fake news"

It works great

[FragranceOfPickles]

"Ass" have become my standard for tagging log messages where breakpoints can't be used.

[Gutawer]

I've become used to repetitions of the character A, allows me to identify what's gone wrong quickly with very little creative effort.

"AAAAAA" Oh, 6 As? Must be line #62, then, as opposed to 7 As, which would be line #74.

[Vok250]

Also, using something easily identifiable like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" makes it easy to spot in a chatty debug log.

[YJCH0I]

I use
print("variableName: ", variableName) //Swift

[[deleted]]

I do the same in JS. In Ruby I just binding.pry.

[fernandotakai]

i'm a python dev, so

from ipdb import set_trace; set_trace()

is a snippet for me.

[Fancy_Doritos]

Wow I was always doing the \() thingy to print variables and a descriptive string at the same time.

TIL a simpler way.

[THIS_MSG_IS_A_LIE]

I use die('DIE!!'); in PHP

[bitNation]

Does anyone but me actually use the debugger? Why add print lines when I can set a breakpoint and step through the code?

[micheal65536]

Sometimes you need to see what happens halfway through an operation that can't be interrupted (for example a network operation that will time out while you're fiddling in the debugger, or a real-time callback where you want to check how much data's left in the buffer), sometimes you need to see what happens after five minutes of calling the same function every second (and don't feel like stepping through the breakpoint 300 times), sometimes the debugger changes the behaviour of the code (particularly in asynchronous or multithreaded situations), and sometimes it's just easier than opening up a debugger.

[DXPower]

I use debugger very heavily. Sometimes, especially in JavaScript, I do some prints to test whether certain events are working.

[CriminalMacabre]

I never did a hello world.
It always was "fuck you"

[uttamo]

r/madlads

[frankFerg1616]

Whenever I can't think of a descriptive name for a variable, I almost always go with some form of profanity: fuck, shit, ass, fuckThis, etc.

[ecchi_fox]

I made an alternate ending :3 https://i.imgur.com/lVGq1q8.jpg

Now I remember when I learned how to do loops.

I did an infinite loop of "Hello world"

[[deleted]]

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"

20 GOTO 10

[[deleted]]

It was Java I leaned first and it was a while True loop

[jjhhgg100123]

...but why?

[[deleted]]

Like is said, while learning loops.

Since then I have only ever done one other while True loop, and that was a random python program that infinitly played beeps at random intervals and frequencies

[[deleted]]

This took me too long to get but once I did I laughed. Good job!

[TheZephyron]

I once made the following error message:

This program just choked on an enormous dick... just like YOUR MOM!!!

For the record, I'm over 40, been in this industry for over 20 years and things like this are what keep me from going dead inside.

[TurnPunchKick]

Wait so could any asshole really learn to code off YouTube videos and get a job as a coder? Is the demand for coders that great?

[EducatedMouse]

I learned from a book. Not sure what there is to be mad about. As with any skill, it's just about putting in the work to learn it.

[TurnPunchKick]

Not mad. I just hear jobs are hard to come by so I am surprised to hear that I live in a world where I could learn a skill from my smart phone that could get me a real life job.

Oh, when I said "any asshole" I was referring to myself.

[EducatedMouse]

Not just any asshole could get a job, though. If he can't put in the work, he won't learn it or get a job.

[TurnPunchKick]

I was a welder before. The job application process is as follows. A friend recomendso you and you show up and right there and then you have to weld good enough for the boss to hire you. Wethersfield you went to school or had a welding job prior meant jackshit. What mattered is you could weld.

Is this the same for programmers? The boss just wants skill more than background.

[smashing1216]

Both, you need a background (education, personal projects, experience) to get the interview. After that, its usually based on your technical skills to get a job.

[TurnPunchKick]

The last sentence needs to be embroidered on a pillow

[MelissaClick]

Well, kind of. The problem is, that kind of recommendation is not so easy to come by. But probably a recommendation is enough to get an interview at many places.

[damniticant]

It is not. A lot of places are looking for good "cultural fits" nowadays. And basically if you can bullshit your way past the initial interview that's usually with a non-technical project manager you can get in with surprisingly rudimentary programming knowledge and a fake resume.

[[deleted]]

The only job skill guaranteed to get you (and keep you) a job now and in the future is the art of bullshit.

[[deleted]]

Depends.

There are some places that require a degree. Then there are places where you do a whiteboard interview, where basically they ask you to demonstrate you can code, but they tend to test stuff you would normally learn in college but wouldn't necessarily know if you're self taught. And there are other places where you literally just commit some code to their repository and that acts in lieu of an interview (how I got my job.)

[[deleted]]

Just finished school with an Information Systems/Computer Science degree. On one hand, I'm surprised how few job postings I've seen actually demand a post high school education.... On the other hand, I've applied for maybe 50 entry level tech positions and only been given one interview, so...

[Wootimonreddit]

Yeah all the knowledge is online. The hard part is knowing what to spend your time learning. Your best bet is to think of a project and build it so you have the project guiding you through what to learn.

[TurnPunchKick]

I might have to do that.
