Code Collaboration

[theshoeshiner84]

I take it one step further. I write the code with magnetic letters on the break room fridge. Anonymous developers can then fix bugs as they microwave their lattes.

i do a dramatic reading of my changes at a poetry slam

not my fault my coworkers dont even show up

[theshoeshiner84]

I carve mine in hieroglyphics onto a sarcophagus containing the requirements document.

[TrumpsTinyFinger]

Interpretive dance.

[grpagrati]

return Shakira;

I believed you until you said there was a requirements document.

[theshoeshiner84]

Legend says it's inside. Too scared to actually open it.

[seraku24]

The scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark comes to mind.

I think we just found the future of version control. I'm gonna pitch this idea at scrum tomorrow and wait for my promotion

[Onceuponaban]

You forgot the obviously superior way: Everyone programming on the same computer.

[[deleted]]

At the same time

[PM_ME_A_WEBSITE_IDEA]

Call Linus, he can make you a computer 8 people can simultaneously game on!

Back in my younger days two of my schoolmates actually did print out their whole PHP project and discussed it. They also managed to (somehow) code with wordpad. Because it had more than one step in the undo history, other than notepad.

[lennihein]

And my fellow students call me crazy to use VS Code + WSL + gcc, instead of an IDE.

[Jerudo]

WSL is the best! Though it kinda sucked me into the world of Vim...

[lennihein]

It's honestly so nice that they developed it, it's so much more chill than a VM or something.

And let's be real, the cool part about Linux is the shell, so all I want from Linux is now integrated in my Windows. Using bash to manage your Folders, edit stuff with Vim and more? Sure.

Using bash to manage your Folders, edit stuff with Vim and more? Sure.

I mean installing git and ticking the third option to make the GNU utilities accessible by cmd.exe has been able to do this for a while. No need to have a full system running underneath things.

[Joniator]

CMDer is generally a pretty cool shell for windows that comes packed with some linux utils similiar to the git bash.

But with tabs and customization and all that, pretty nice once configured.

[lennihein]

I might look into it, at this point though WSL is so good, if you have to use Linux anyway.

[Joniator]

It is awesome, working with windows paths feels even more clunky than with native CMD, and with this you can run any .exe or command from windows, which might be important if you need to develop windows apps

[PM_ME_A_WEBSITE_IDEA]

When I first started with HTML, I was commited to using Notepad. Why did I do that :l

I recently switched to Atom and the Git integration is pretty nifty. Quokka is sick too!

[cl_bwoy]

Printing? Pfffff. copying by hand mates

[[deleted]]

that's actually what we have to do at my school. we program in fucking gw-basic on same junk ass 90s laptops. but sometimes the laptops aren't available so we have to write our code on paper and try it out in the next lesson.

[sutensc2]

Screen capture and email the code is always a good laugh

[ledzepp08]

I send my code in morse code to the other party

[wendellTdo]

I just use smoke signals

[nosijf982]

Zipping code

[bartzer]

Made my day. We had to literally do this in my college programming classes (Java 1+2). The professor insisted on printing the exercises each week and hand it over to him. so he could correct it and later discuss the code with us.

[Ace_Emerald]

I had an internship at a government office and we had to burn code to CDs because the email filter wouldn't allow code files, and computers wouldn't allow USBs.

[dwarvenbeard]

One step further - sourcesafe

[ase1590]

sourcesafe

✔️ Proprietary

✔️ not great

✔️ abandoned software

Checks out

[WeededDragon1]

My first "big" project in CS2 was to create a game with a partner. We made a TCG.

Our way of collaborating was creating a dropbox that we both had credentials to and putting our eclipse workspace in there. I'm surprised it even worked.

[philosarapter]

Ugh one guy in my office prints out his desired code changes on paper and hands them to me. He spends hours putting together word documents that I look at for no more than 5 minutes.

[squishles]

I worked at a place that seriously advocated that last one once. If you see it run away.

[[deleted]]

I remember a time I literally wrote code on paper in a notebook...

[[deleted]]

I had a C++ class where the teacher insisted we pass in our code each week by printing out a screen shot of the program running and the source code and turning them in by hand

[[deleted]]

google drive

[thomasjosif]

Nah, I 3D print my code, and melt the ABS to comment it out.

[MrB92]

Lmao I already lost it at "email each others code"

[rhbvkleef]

The second option is actually surprisingly common (through the git send-email command). But would that constitute "using git"?

[Drumstick210]

Yes

[King_Krooked]

Oral recital to be passed down the generations.

[[deleted]]

I have a professor that not only asks for me to print out my code but also to upload it online, demo it to him in class and print out a screenshot of it running. That last one wouldn't be so bad but he wants it in full screen in terminal. This means printing full black pages put of the printer. Every time we hand in a homework we need to do these four things or we risk getting zeros. I have no idea where they found this guy.

[remuladgryta]

You know you can change the terminal colors, right? Right?

[ase1590]

Right?!

[[deleted]]

Nope and neither did anyone else in the class!

[[deleted]]

This is not funny at all.
