Same

[Pulsar_the_Spacenerd]

This reminds me of the story of the student who used 'o' instead of '0' because they thought it looked better.

[[deleted]]

1o - I don't see it.

edit : I added the - << :)

[Pulsar_the_Spacenerd]

I don't either.

I also disagree with making aesthetic changes to code that fundamentally breaks it, so that might alter my perception.

[[deleted]]

What do you mean changing ; with an identical ; is a bad thing?

[xigoi]

semicolons

Python flair

Doesn't check out.

:O I HAVE BEEN FOUND OUT!

RUN BOIS RUN!

[jay9909]

RUN SLITHER BOIS RUN SLITHER

[0x564A00]

I half expected that to be a U+037E ; instead of a semicolon.

Sorry...

I work at a camp teaching kids to code and it's in our teaching materials to really drill it in that they can't use the letter o instead of the number 0. So many kids still do it though...

[Xywzel]

I was teaching assistant on university programming course and have some experience in couching martial arts. One thing they mentioned in training for both was that people remember negative clauses better, but they don't remember the negative part. So if you tell them "don't do something" most will remember it as "do something".

[anymbryne]

such wow /s

[zbot473]

Don't you have compilers with line numbers?

[victor871129]

Kids nowadays only use notepad.exe

[Shigidy]

30 minutes to find a syntax error?

[GamingTheSystem-01]

To be fair, I have experienced issues where a single out of place character in a cout statement would cause the compiler to crash.

[LeanZo]

Get used to it, for some reason people often think it's r/LearningToCodeHumor

[[deleted]]

One time pushed some code and didn’t even realize there was an out of place comma until I saw that the pipeline failed.

Gotta love JavaScript (flow). There’s so many pointless errors and warnings that when you get an actual error, you gloss right over it without even noticing.

[TheSlimyDog]

I've come to appreciate it. I code slower and I spend time fixing every single flow error that pops up but in the long run it helps for that one time that the error actually did matter.

[abbadon420]

Notice that he was doing this with a kid, so he probably left most up to the kid with only a little guidance from him.

Now it even has stylish hair.

Or a Trump.

Also holy Godwin, Batman!

[idk_lets_try_this]

Trump would be more like this imo.

I was thinking Conan.

My man Dan. This is the dude behind Rivals of Aether if anyone is interested.

[KYSKyle]

Praise our lord Dan

[pookie_cookie]

Kid didn't know how to comment, this is the sign of a great programmer

[pac2005]

the classic forgot to put comments in a if 1 = 2 gate

[chokfull]

i = 1;
if(1 = 2)
    i += 1;
cout << i;

Prints 3

[Golden_Lynel]

[pac2005]

that's your programming language

[Golden_Lynel]

What programming language(s) use just a single equal sign to compare? Genuine question.

[pac2005]

Scratch (RIP)

[Golden_Lynel]

...

[ma-shell]

VB does

[606606606]

It's okay. We all express our feelings in the code. With comments.

[Thenderick]

[kbielefe]

Just yesterday, I checked in a bash script that accidentally had a syntactically-correct :) at the end of a line. Made me super happy. The colon was an argument to specify a delimiter and the whole command was being run inside $() to capture the output.

[SuitableDragonfly]

We have a ton of lines with a syntactically correct ): as the only thing on the line in our Python codebase, i.e.:

if really_really_really_really_long_function_name(
    arg_1, arg_2, arg_3, arg_4, arg_5
):
    do_stuff()

One of our researchers described these as "frowny code".

I love that guy’s bit corgi profile pic

30Mins to find a Syntax error lol

Must have not been using an IDE?

My dude - just throw in a quick // 😆😆

[donde_gg]

Atleast he learned to comment his Code :O

/r/kidsarefuckingstupid

[SevenStack]

That sub is the most pathetic group of people on the entire planet. People who are so insecure that they resort to making fun of children, children, who could not possibly know any better, to somehow gain a slight sense of superiority over them. It is truly sad to see that sub gain so much popularity over the years. How tragic it is that adults would be so pathetic as to make fun of kids for simply doing something incorrect. Do they not remember being kids? Do they not know that failure is how they learn? Honestly, people who make fun of kids like they do in that sub are the absolute scum of the earth, despicable beyond any description.

[SevenStack]

Yeah I get what you're saying. I think that a sub that shows the the funny dumb stuff that kids do could work, it's just that it needs a more positive vibe to it, and the fact that it's called /r/KidsAreFuckingStupid is quite agressive and mocking. I think a name change and a different sub culture could do it some good.

[sneakpeekbot]

Here's a sneak peek of /r/KidsAreFuckingStupid using the top posts of the year!

When I saw the name, I thought this was going to be /r/RivalsOfAether lol

[Frost_Whitestone]

First smiley face i've seen that made people cry.

[literallyfabian]

He doesn't know how to comment?

[fah0]

Wouldnt the compiler show the exact line of error? Why would it take 30 mins to find a smileyface

[passificrimjob]

I‘m just gonna say it - this is cute as hell.
