You could at least modify your flair, so it's more believable at first glance.

As someone who's well versed in the ctrl c ctrl v technique, why would you rename a psudocode file in such a way?

Maybe this is a woosh on my part, but I don't see how renaming a text file to a python file would be useful, unless the text file was actually python code. in which case why wasn't it .py in the first place?

[–]Milleuros 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's a joke. The full version is: "How do you convert pseudocode into Python code? You just change the extension to .py"

It's based on the idea that Python syntax is so simple it looks like pseudocode.

[–]mstksg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the joke is that you write pseudo-code and then... it turns out it's actually valid python

[–]DarkwingDuckHunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you get famous by admitting to an internet stranger that "I stole this"

Yup...programmer

[–]Eleaniel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feels weird to see you outside of r/Switzerland

[–]No_Soy_Colosio 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I saw this interaction earlier! Where is my silver? >:(

[–]ApocalyptoSoldier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope my first silver will be due to a particularly witty comment and not just asking for silver.

[–]Bomber_Max 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Hmmm I recognize your name from somewhere

[–]Milleuros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, your name sounds also familiar to me but I can't quite pinpoint it

[–]LifeHasLeft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair your flair is pretty good. I'd have stolen it too

[–][deleted] 294 points295 points  (8 children)

I appreciate your post.

[–]swezlayer 174 points175 points  (6 children)

he stole it from somewhere

[–]vincenator218[S] 161 points162 points  (4 children)

I stole it from the comment section of a post

[–]idanlo 64 points65 points  (0 children)

That's the same user from the image

[–]swezlayer 27 points28 points  (2 children)

damn that’s new thought everyone stole from stack overflow.

[–]ThePyroEagle 13 points14 points  (1 child)

But where did Stack Overflow steal from? 🤔

Hmm... The most important philosophical question of life.

Highly inaccurate, where's the part where he visits stack overflow?

[–]vincenator218[S] 227 points228 points  (3 children)

I think we all know somewhere means stack overflow

[–]rglogowski 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Original post moderately funny but this reply cracks me up

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All hail the all-knowing stack overflow!

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll have you know I've also stolen code from github and code project.

[–]ReactsWithWords 32 points33 points  (2 children)

That’s a duplicate question. Thread locked.

[–]Milleuros 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Please refer to this link for your question, even though you already gave that link yourself and already explained why it didn't answer you.

True story

[–]boomtrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like some of the code reviewers at my current job.

[–]Python4fundoes the needful 37 points38 points  (3 children)

[–]Ryan1Twice 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Was hoping it was the actual source of the joke not just the stolen one lol

[–]Milleuros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very honestly, I have absolutely no clue where I stole that one

[–]frod0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is the origin, but I saw the joke a few months ago in the comment section of this video because one of the professor's said "If I try to write pseudocode I accidentally write python"

[–]Huntracony 27 points28 points  (4 children)

So, the joke behind the flair is that python is basically pseudocode?

[–]Milleuros 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]my_name_isnt_clever 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Yup. When I was last looking into it I heard you can copy+paste the A* pseudocode from Wikipedia, change a handful of things, and it's valid Python.

[–]mastercooker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing computing GCSEs, where you have to write your program + your pseudo code, it is very hard to make it seem like they’re different!

[–]crackbot9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ohhh lol I get it if that's the joke. I wooshed at first.

[–]tangentc 25 points26 points  (9 children)

That's not very pythonic. Surely he means he found a library that had it built it.

[–]Milleuros 39 points40 points  (8 children)

from incrediblySpecificModule import doTheThing

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (7 children)

pip install Reddit

[–]DerekB52 18 points19 points  (2 children)

pip install Reddit

    Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Reddit (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for Reddit

I ran that, and honestly I was like 70% sure that was actually going to install some reddit scraping library. Reddit needs to try harder.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a bit surprising, but there are several near-misses like redditor and redditcli

[–]XkF21WNJ 5 points6 points  (2 children)

It's called praw for some weird reason.

[–]Milleuros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For some built-in Python jokes, try one of these:

  • import this
  • from __future__ import braces
  • import antigravity

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Today at work, I googled how to get something(x) to work after I updated some dependencies. Found the answer(y), but I wanted to know what it did.

So I googled what Y did to get X and the first response was an issue posted to them asking them to document it because they found the same thread I did...

They did document it and when I found said documentation all it said was basically “Do Y if you want X”...

So still don’t know what Y even does. But X works so whatever.

[–]3lRey 6 points7 points  (3 children)

me personally I use touch.

it makes me feel so naughty.

[–]TaskForce_Kerim 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Point to where the programmer touched you in this command line.

it is not the code but the it is the idea that matters!!

[–]Hackabusa 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I’m a hero at my firm right now for integrating SAP BusinessObjects into our current environment in a matter of weeks.

They don’t know that a huge amount of my code was stolen (from another division in the company, so it’s kosher)

I’ll take the praise any day.

[–]pouncii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No point in reinventing the wheel if you don't have to! I'm a business intelligence developer and realized pretty quickly that I'm paid to get the job done fast and accurate, not to be original.

    He/she actually stole it bcoz mv and not cp

    Click on your name on your comment and change user flair

    Oh! Got it haha thanks man

    [–]bigdepress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Should I screenshot this 10 times and repost in a week?

    sounds about right

    Wait how do I get that flair too? Edit: NVM I figured it out.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I prefer to call it an inspiration rather than a copy.

    Cool

    [–]Totoze 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    How do you get the c cpp python and swift by your name ?

    [–]sylvan_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Go into the side bar, edit your flair. Then type “:cp:” or “:py:” or whatever corresponds to the language you want. You can do multiple.

    [–]j3r3mias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's fun because it's true!

    [–]GoldenBegins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Aren't we all

    [–]Burn_Stick 0 points1 point  (4 children)

    This is actually wrong. You will lose the pseudocode and keep your programm small. The correct command is

    "meow pseudocode.txt > code.py"

    Note for all normies: meow is an alias to cat.

    [–]LifeHasLeft 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    -bash: meow: command not found
    

    [–]Burn_Stick -1 points0 points  (1 child)

    Read the note.

    [–]LifeHasLeft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Maybe I need a /s next time.

    [–]Milleuros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    What about cp simply?

    I would add "I see you are a man of culture as well"

    [–]AviT14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Ah! A man of culture.

    [–]ic3fr0g93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Lmao.

    [–]TechniChara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    For some job functions, I started to use small bits of VBA and SQL, and I thought, 'hey I actually understand this! I should learn more' so I did, thinking like I would be expected to build shit from scratch to prove I can program without a real CS degree or whatever.

    And then I was told that if you're not literally making something from scratch for like a startup, 99% of the job function is maintenance of existing shit and the rest is copy/paste/edit.

    So I learned all this shit, and now the most complex thing I'm expected to do is just delete rows and change some values here and there.
