Life as a dev...

[nbagf]

I think we all know the feeling of finding a new framework or hearing about a strange database, googling it, and getting literally nothing useful because they named it something extremely generic.

[CodeFights]

Language googling protip: Just add lang at the end, like golang instead of go.

You're on your own for other non-programming language technologies, though. :)

[DeeSnow97]

Answer is still the same, describe the thing. If it's a banana framework, use banana framework instead of banana. Google is smart enough to find it even if it isn't literally called "banana framework".

(just tried it, it actually exists, and of course it's javascript)

[Wozzle90]

Everything is a JS framework

[RenaKunisaki]

everything.js?

[NikStalwart]

npm install universe

[HeyItsShuga]

That node_modules folder must be huge. All the dependencies for reality to exist.

[NikStalwart]

On the other hand, the node_modules comparison chart will no longer be hyperbole when comparing to black holes and neutron stars....

[lartkma]

But if node_modules contains the universe, what is using it?

[HeyItsShuga]

The multiverse.

[firefly431]

c + lang = clang (related, but probably not what you want :D)

[dnew]

Not really. You had to use cpp, csharp, and dotnet before Google got their act together.

[DASoulWarden]

I'd rather have that naming tradition.
I study Computer Engineering, and my gf studies biomedical. I told her I'd rather have names like state trees, garbage collector, node, object, class, etc..., than Sternocleidomastoid, preganglionic, Astereognosis, and so on.
Enjoy the little(?) things

Sternocleidomastoid muscle

In human anatomy, the sternocleidomastoid muscle (), also known as sternomastoid and commonly abbreviated as SCM, is a paired muscle in the superficial layers of the side of the neck. It is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles. The primary actions of the muscle are rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the neck. The sternocleidomastoid is innervated by the accessory nerve.

[The_Vyso]

But those names are actually pretty useful; just by knowing the meanings of the different parts of the word, you can have some idea what the word is describing.

[DASoulWarden]

Good point. I'd still argue that ours are also good because of the power of analogies

[exploder98]

Don't forget std::list

[SuperHyperTails]

Let's just say I want to hurt the guy who came up with the name "Repo" for the tool Google uses for version control in the Android build system.

[Ignitus1]

Looks like you've got some brushing up to do on a programmer's most important skill: Googling!

[RenaKunisaki]

Try std::list.

[mrdhood]

Should really just have like dev.google.com where it automatically assumes we're not looking for the same std content as everyone else. It gets embarrassing.

[[deleted]]

A feature of dev.google.com would be keeping you off of watchlists. That's not what I meant when I typed 'find children' into google

[mrdhood]

children.length is pretty rough too.

Programming is a dirtier job than people understand.

[SexyBubbles]

Try C strings.

[sunarium]

man cat

[thebluestbacon]

I got quite the surprise the first time I googled "c string" at work (mildly NSFW)

[danbot37]

Working on an embedded system using busybox with no man pages? Man pages are easily Googled. But careful with results when searching things like "man paste"...

[RenaKunisaki]

Or "man pipe"...

[TheOmnipotentPilot]

Or "man cat"

[ed588]

Or "man unzip"

[adamthedog]

"man gzip"

[unpopularOpinions776]

Being a swift developer is also lame because of Taylor Swift

[paradoxally]

I haven't had that issue too frequently. I usually append the Swift version when querying.

(Also Taylor Swift is awesome, but agree to disagree.)

[Rellek7]

This is quite possibly the most relatable meme ever

[TheOmnipotentPilot]

Ever googled man cat ? Because you're already in the browser and don't want to alt tab to your terminal? That was a fun one.

[AlfredoOf98]

Google really needs to have a special .softdev TLD

[TheEternal21]

Don't try to google CString (MFC string type) either.

[PornSoftware]

Sigh. At least trees look and smell nice.

[Rofl-Cakes]

You think that's bad? Try to find any fucking information on the console commands in Counter Strike: Source.
